After the band's vocalist Johanna DePierre left in July of this year, Amaran desperately tried to find a new singer. The band has given up the search now and posted the following statement on the official website.

"Dear all,

This year comes to an end and we are sad to say that Amaran does the same. Since Johanna left us in July we have really been struggling looking for a replacement. We have tried by contacts, friends, ads, headhunting, hostile kidnapping and threat without any success. Our bad luck always seems to keep up with us.
This issue has simply unplugged our tub of motivation, and we all decided to put Amaran six feet under. We would like to thank everyone who has been involved in any way with us during these Amaran years. As a final word, we suggest you to keep your eyes open during the forthcoming year. A new year seems to be a good time to start up something new...

A final farewell from Amaran"
