US progressive metal band In The Silence have announced the departure of guitarist Nathan Higgins. The band will soon be launching a crowdfunding campaign to fund the recording of a new album, and is actively looking for a new guitarist. You can read the band's full statement below.

They stated: "For those of you who don't know, we feel it's time to announce a change that has taken place with In The Silence in the last few months. From time to time priorities in life can shift, and unfortunately (for us, and for our fans) Nathan Higgins has left In The Silence to pursue another path in life. Nate continues to be a good friend, and a fantastic guitar player. We're sad to see him go and he will be greatly missed. We hope you will join us in giving gratitude and love to Nate for his contributions to the music, for his friendship, and wish him and his family all the best. This of course means we are looking for a replacement. Nate has left big shoes to fill, but we look forward to continuing to make great music, and finding a future rock-star out there to join us on our quest to bring In The Silence music to the world!"
