I personally think the guy is a joke.  I remember seeing his band "Amen" 
open for Killing Joke in Los Angeles back in '03 and the first thing that 
struck me was the forced whining and bitching about how his band was the 
"real deal" or whatever even though they sounded like the same old 3rd 
generation punk/metal crap I hear from hundreds of go-nowhere bands in clubs 
all the time. The whole act was contrived squared. Cubed even. The funniest 
part was at the end of their set, he fell or did something stupid and it 
appeared he came close to breaking his arm and limped offstage in tears.

Months, maybe a year or so later, I was talking to a mutual friend of Brian 
James and I and he mentioned that Brian had met Casey and wanted to do 
something with him and this guy was bemoaning the fact that Casey was 
"exactly" like Steven Marque, the idiot who shammed and scammed Brian into 
reforming The Lords of the New Church in 2001. He said Casey was incredibly 
pretentious and that Brian's a pushover when it comes to these kind of guys 
latching on to him.
