Via de mailinglist van Apocalyptica kreeg ik het volgende bericht binnen:

After the artistically satisfying, but very exhausting two-and-half-year project with the Cult-album, we have finally started to raise our sights towards the future. Instead of focusing only on music, the project has forced each of us to clarify our individual ambitions - as human beings as well as musicians. Unfortunately during this process we couldn't clear up some of the difficulties and disagreements we had inside the band. The sad outcome of that is that Max will not continue in the band.

We are also sorry about the fact that the Finnish press was faster than us to release this information, and we would really like to apologise for that. Sorry.

Apocalyptica is now beginning to work with new material with full force and power and will be back more consistent and powerfull than ever!!!!
