Rise To Remain have announced that they've split up after six years together, despite having put together a second album.
The band's frontman Austin Dickinson broke the news that the band have called it a day in an interview with Kerrang, where he also announced that he's formed a new band - As Lions.
Rise To Remain formed in 2008, but only released one full-length album in their time together - 2011's City Of Vultures.
They've been working on a second album since 2013, and in February of last year, they revealed the first single off the album, 'Over and Over'. Despite finishing the album though, it's not been released, and it's not looking like it ever will be.
In a statement on their Facebook, Dickinson wrote, "Living the dream, in many cases, is not enough to hold it all together when the band is not stable, and after putting together the second record, Adam told us he was in a place where he felt the pressure of the album and the upcoming cycle and couldn’t continue, leading Ben to quit music altogether."
He continued, "To continue the band at this point, with as many line up changes as its had, with the two original members being Will and myself, seems pointless."
As Lions release their debut EP in spring.
