In an email message to fans the metal group blamed the parting on "insurmountable differences of musical opinion", though they wished Theart luck for the future. They added that the remainder of the band have now started writing their new album, though they are also looking for a new vocalist to replace Theart.

"We are looking for a powerful, melodic singer to write a new chapter of DragonForce with us," guitarist Herman Li explained.
