The following news was retrieved from the MySpace of Swedish death metal squad Miseration:

"Unfortunately, we have some sad news for you all. For personal reasons, guitarist Jani Stefanovic has decided to part ways with both Miseration and Swedish melodic death metal act Solution. 45.

In an official statement Jani states: "For several years I have been working with many talented musicians and done many albums in a very short period of time. Music is my passion, but over the last year or so, I have felt that I want to focus more on quality time with friends and family. I do not intend to quit music, but at this point I feel that I am not ready to commit to these bands as much as would be necessary. I just feel that my personal life is striving for something else than the rest of the guys in Solution .45 and Miseration. There´s absolutely no bad blood between us and I do wish both bands great success, cause they are really good, with nothing but quality people in them. Us parting ways has consequently notning to do with musical- or personal differences, or anything like that for that matter. I just feel that this is not my place to be right now. I am very satisfied with the result of both the Solution .45 debut album and the latest one from Miseration and do feel that I can leave with my head held up high."

We want to stress two things:

While we are extremely sad to see our brother go, there is no bad blood between Jani and ANY of the Miseration or Solution .45 members whatsoever. We respect Jani's wishes and so should you. In fact, Jani, and the boys will still be found jamming together in The Few Against Many and possibly future outings to come.

Both bands will move on, stronger than ever. We are happy to announce Tobias Alpadie of Jesiah, as Miseration's new second guitarist.

More news as it happens!"
