I Am I

I Am I (stylized I ΛM I) are an English heavy metal band led by former DragonForce vocalist ZP Theart. The band released their debut album Event Horizon in 2012, followed by two singles, one of which is a cover of John Farnham's "You're the Voice" and the other an original song titled "See You Again". Their sophomore album was expected to be released in November or December 2015, but has not been released. Reasons for the as of yet 4 year delay to the release of their newest album are currently unknown however since ZP has been prioritising Skid Row it is presumed that this is the reason. Their website also currently displays a message that reads "IAMI new site coming soon". History The album, Event Horizon, was set to be released on 26 May 2012 with their debut show following the next day at the Birmingham O2 Academy 2. Unfortunately, due to shipping issues, the copies of the album which were available for online purchase only were sent out 5 days late to the disappointment of fans. On 22 June the band announced via Facebook that they had parted ways with drummer Paul Clark Jr for "Personal Reasons"; this was later removed from the band's official page, though both Clark Jr and Clark Snr (the former's father) who assisted the band in the creation of the debut album maintain to this day that Clark Jr left I AM I due to Theart and co stealing equipment from them. His replacement Phil Martini joined the band as their new drummer on Friday 20 June 2012. Former Power Quest guitarist Andy Midgley was announced as the new guitar player for I AM I on 18 April 2013 following the departure of Jake Thorsen. Martini failed to show at the band's appearance at Download festival 2013, and has not been seen live with the band since April 2013. The band confirmed Martini's replacement to be Rich Smith, formerly of Power Quest. Although the band had already gone through various line-up changes in its short lifetime, ZP filed this as being 'normal' and 'a process which every band goes through, we (the band) have had media focus because of myself since the beginning'.
