Today sees the release of "Phoenix Rise", the farewell single from Ænimus as they embark on an indefinite hiatus. After over a decade of unforgettable moments, the band wants to express their heartfelt gratitude to fans, friends, and family. Read the full statement by vocalist Seth Stone below.




Statement from Seth Stone as follows: "To my fans, friends and family… With over a decade of moments shared together and infinite memories that will live with me forever, I have made the difficult decision to put Ænimus on an indefinite hiatus. Thank you all, for the support and love over the years, in making many of my dreams come true.

"Thank you to all the amazing musicians who performed and wrote these magical songs with me. Never, did I fathom I would perform and write music alongside some of the best and most humble musicians that I now consider family. I could not have accomplished any of this without a single one of you.

"Thank you to Nuclear Blast Records, Continental Touring and everyone else within the music industry who guided Ænimus and gave us opportunities of a lifetime. With that, I give you all one last song, "Phoenix Rise" a farewell to celebrate the time we spent together and a song to inspire hope to whoever needs it.

"Thank you Brian Gosling (guitars/production), Cody Pulliam (drums) and John Flynn (bass) for sharing your amazing talents and writing "Phoenix Rise" with me."
