In October 2013 the band announced that singer Benjamin Nominet had left the band. All tour dates were canceled and the band would take a break for now.

Style

The band's music is characterized by mostly high tempo, and a futuristic sci-fi atmosphere, which is achieved by samples. It is supported by the most aggressive music, but partly also clear vocals of Benjamin. Antares on the pace has been shut down something that also clear vocals were increasingly used to give the songs more atmosphere. With The Pulse of Awakening, the band continues to pursue the chosen already with Antares direction. The use of more samples and synths at the expense of aggression, in favor of the melody.
