US blackened death metallers Dawn Of Ashes have parted ways with bassist Othuum and guitarist Volkar Kael. They issued the following statement: "Fans, Friends, Vile, our time with Dawn Of Ashes has been quite a ride. Writing and performing for you has been such a reward. However it is time that we moved on to other ventures. It is with no ill blood that we depart from DOA, we simply no longer feel we share the same vision or views as the other half of what was Dawn Of Ashes. Thank you for all of your support, and we hope to see many of you spreading the word for things to come!"

Vocalist Kristof Bathory also issued this statement regarding their departures: "I will officially be taking over Dawn Of Ashes as my solo band. Bahemoth & Rayne will still be in the band with a whole new live line up. I appreciate the hard work that Volkar & Othuum did for this band but it's time that DOA to go back to its roots with a new feeling that I will be provoking. Stay tuned! Cheers to Volkar & Othuum again!"
