Here is a statement from Tero Vaaja: "For the friends of Excalion, since some time, I have not been playing bass for Excalion. In December 2015 I went to live in Barcelona, and I am not around the Excalion base camp anymore - which made it necessary to put an end to one chapter that started more than 15 years ago. I handed over the Excalion bass duties to a great player and a good friend, and I am not in the band's lineup nowadays. But, fortunately, the chapter is not really ending. I have written lyrics for a number of new Excalion songs, and I will continue writing lyrics whenever the band wishes so. I understand the guys are happy to have me around as a kind of a sixth member, and I am more than happy about that! There is a time for everything, and in my opinion, now it is time for Excalion to be better than it has ever been. The band we founded in an attic so many years ago has matured into something fantastic. That is just so cool. - Tero."
New line-up is as follows:
The band has also released a promotional video which showcases new songs and the new band members:
