Blev till att gå skilda vägar med bandet.
Officiellt uttalande;

Hey guys! Patrik writing, now as the former singer of Archania.
Let me elaborate as to why we met today over a beer and unanimously agreed to split our paths.
The last couple of months have been tumultuous for the band to say the least. Essentially uncertaintly and unease became increasingly present as to become so tangible that it rather defined a new standard for the band, replacing what was the intense passion of five individuals and their musical ambition. Replacing the times of having fun together making music as well as just hanging out as friends.
This is almost solely a consequence of my personal life - Fighting all fronts simultaneously, as a myriad of situations, tremendous in severity appears, with me unable to resolve them. For me, accepting that I can not change a situation for the better, that I can not control or contain a fire, is accepting mediocrity and defeat. It's not an option for me. So I keep fighting everything at once, at this time in my life where adversity chose to be so abundant and bizarre that it would make any rockstars autobiography seem mundane and trivial.
This of course causes greater and greater discomfort for my friends as no matter how hard I try to hide all that wears and tears me down in my personal sphere, it becomes more and more apparent that something is not right, creating a self-sustaining feeling of doubt.
We set out from the beginning with the zealous intent of success. Hard work, fiery passion, devotion and love for music. We would never be a hobby band.
As my friends ardor slowly waned, measures had to be taken in order to understand, adapt or resolve, and get back on track because we had one hundred percent belief in the music we made and that is not something to toss away just like that.
Alas, crisis, as real as it can get, culminated the other day and became the deciding factor of me leaving the band.
There are no grudges, there are no hard feelings. I have learned a lot from these guys, as a person and as a musician. I've had a lot of honest laughs with them, such as when Oscar tried to break my floor with his nose (floor won), or when Martin believed himself mightier than a sausage, or Leffan and me being nothing short of epic at Sjätte Tunnan when Tenacious D was being played or Alex doing singing excercises at my place while, ehum, 'feeling at home'. These are the best of guys one could make music with and I wish them all the best and will support them in any way I can.
Me, I will have to take a breather and make adjustments in my life. Things are fortunately moving the right way albeit slow. Though knowing how adamant and strong-willed I am and how confident I can be in the things I find a fire for, I doubt I could stay away from finding/creating a band for very long :P
With all this said, I want to thank Alex, Oscar, Martin and Leffan for the time and them being awesome.
To the people who've seen us, liked us and noticed us; thank you!
Be sure to continue following my friends as they keep making amazing music.
Seems proper to end with our song Rise.
Catch you all on the flip side!
