Symphony In Peril Announce Breakup

SYMPHONY IN PERIL are sad to announce the decision to disband the band. They have left the following message:

"After almost four years, two full length recordings, and many shows, we as SYMPHONY IN PERIL have decided to call it quits. This was a completely mutual decision between all members, and we are still the best of friends. We would like to thank John for helping us out this past summer so we didn't have to cancel any shows. We apologize to all of those that wanted to see us but never got a chance to. However, we will be playing four final shows, and best of all, Shawn will be there with us taking over the vocal duties. We would like to thank all the bands we got a chance to share a stage with...but most of all, we thank our fans. A huge debt of gratitude goes out to all of you for your unrelenting support throughout this journey.

Thank you to anyone who let us sleep on their floor, or supported us in any other way, whether it be purchasing merch, or just sending an email out to us. We couldn't ask for better fans, and our sincerest thanks goes out to all of you."
