Comments Christian: "It's a great honor and privilege to once again work with my good friend Roy Yeo and his Pulverised Records. We have known each other for almost 12 years now, through our past work together with UNMOORED and QUEST OF AIDANCE, so it feels very much like coming home in a way. We are very happy and excited to see where this re-established cooperation can lead us as a team!"

Christian Älvestam announced his departure from SCAR SYMMETRY in September 2008, explaining in a statement, "We've decided to part ways . . mainly [because] of different outlooks on musical production and touring. Of course it's sad to see that SCAR SYMMETRY will not continue in its present form, but unfortunately these things happen. I hope SCAR SYMMETRY will go on being successful, while I myself will for sure keep on singing, playing, writing and performing my own music, in various shapes and forms, for a very long time. My musical journey has just begun!"
