On October 10, 2023, lead singer Stephen Christian announced an indefinite hiatus from the band in a touring capacity. Memphis May Fire singer Matty Mullins was subsequently named as Anberlin’s new live lead vocalist. On June 14, 2024, the band announced their album Vega , which combined their 2022 and 2023 EPs Silverline and Convinced , as well as featuring two songs with Mullins on lead vocals, “Walk Alone” and “Seven”. The former released on June 21 with a music video in which the band satirically auditioned new lead vocalists – including an incognito Christian. One day before the album’s release, the band released the music video for “Seven”. Vega was released on August 2, 2024. On March 21, 2025, the band released Nevertake – a re-recorded version of Never Take Friendship Personal with Mullins on lead vocals, commemorating the album’s 20th anniversary. The band toured extensively in support of the anniversary of Never Take Friendship Personal , including a performance at that year’s Furnace Fest with Christian joining the band.
