Wie es zu der Entscheidung kam, erklärt Sänger Phil Jonas mit diesem Statement im Namen der Band. "We are seeing the darkness at the end of the tunnel. From the moment that we built the four walls of the "Black House" with our bare hands skyward, we knew this would be not only our ultimate record but the epitaph at our final resting place. We thank you for walking this long winding idiosyncratic path with us over all these years. It has been an illuminating ride. Our appearance at this year's edition of the Party San Open Air will mark our final festival show."
