"Greetings, As some of you may know, my time as the bassist for Crown the Lost has come to a close. Both parties collectively agree that it is time for me to pursue other interests, as personal and creative differences have begun to hinder progress.

"I cannot stress enough that I harbor no ill will towards the remaining members - this experience has allowed me to grow as a musician and even more as a person. I'd like to thank the band and everybody that I have met as a result of my membership for everything they have contributed.

"Farewell and good luck to all of you!"
