Dopo quindici anni trascorsi tra le fila dei suoi Susperia, il cantante Athera ha annunciato pochi giorni fa di aver abbandonato il gruppo. Le cause di questa scelta sono riconducibili ai problemi di salute dell'artista, che ultimamente è risultato essere meno collaborativo. Non è attualmente noto il nome del nuovo cantante del gruppo, e Athera non nega la possibilità che in futuro possa tornare a far parte della formazione.
E' possibile leggere, di seguito, il comunicato ufficiale rilasciato dallo stesso Athera; nella colonna di sinistra sono riportate le parole dei Susperia.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I bid you farewell. At least for a good while. Considering my health situation and lack of progress contributing anything to my beloved band the last few years I have decided to pull myself out of the mix and let the guys continue on without me. We remain the best of friends and this is not a breakup due to any bad circumstances. It's simply me realizing I cannot deliver what you as fans and the band expects of me anymore. And I do not want to hold this brilliant band back anymore. They deserve better and you guys deserve to hear more new music. It is with regret and sadness I now do this, but trust me, it is the best for all parties involved. I am left with a strange feeling. Susperia has been with me for almost half my life and it is my family. So this hurts. But for me staying in the band any further would hurt you guys and the band even more. I don't know what will happen in the future, if they will get a new inspired vocalist or if Memnock will do the vocals (I vote YEAH!!) But something good will come of this in the form of a new album, or maybe even two! Maybe I'll pull the Bruce Dickinson/Rob Halford and make a return one day to the band. But for now I am out guys. I thank you so much for all the support through the years. From the bottom of my broken heart. Sorry we've been away for so long. Susperia will be back. One way or another. All my love and gratefulness".
I Susperia pubblicheranno prossimamente il loro nuovo album, successore di Attitude del 2009.
