After a long run with Cryptopsy, Alex Auburn (guitarist) has parted ways with the band. His statement can be read below.
“I am announcing my departure of the band Cryptopsy. There are many reasons why i must leave the band, and this has been going on for a while now, so i am quitting. The band and i believe it is better for me to go, so i am moving forward. I want to thank the guys in Cryptopsy for an adventurous and crazy 10 years. It's been a great ride. I will especially miss the fans a great deal and i want to thank all of you for you're awesome support through out those years. Right now i need to take a break for a few months to reflect on my life and my future in music. As far as music goes, i might start my own band next summer but i don't know yet. In the mean time i am open to good offers and to join other forces.”
Thank you very much / Alex Auburn”
