Hi all, this will be my first and last post here.
Just wanted to bring across my statement from my myspace here as well.

Take care, Justin

Regarding Revolution Renaissance

I'm writing this statement of course in regards to the latest news from Revolution Renaissance. It's only been a few days and already I can see a storm on the horizon. So, I figured before things go any further I could take the time to reflect and clarify a few things.

Playing in Revolution Renaissance was a great time and we shared many laughs, like most bands we had our ups and downs. Initially, this has been pretty strange as I was a bit confused given the circumstances.

I was unaware of things that were to happen but aware that something was wrong for the past few months. Perhaps amidst the chaos everything was lost in translation. At any rate I can say that the split (at least on my part) was "mutual" as I, personally, am into other music at this time and I am much more focused on Descend.

I am very proud of "Age of Aquarius" and for the most part it saw Revolution Renaissance come into light as an actual band. It was a step the band needed to survive much like this is the next step in things to come. Every member played just as an important role as the next, the chemistry in the band was perfect, and we all had alot of fun making the album. I am really glad they will continue as a touring, recording band.


To the remaining members in Revolution Renaissance I can only say that I hope and wish the best for you guys and that you guys achieve the goals you are striving for. You guys deserve it and I hope it does work out.

As for me I will continue working with Descend. We have released an EP entitled "The Reckoning" which I am very excited about! The new material is sounding great and we look forward to playing gigs and getting this machine rolling. "The Reckoning" EP can be heard via our myspace. www.myspace.com/descendsweden
Check it out!

Lots more to come from Descend in the near future.

Nice, but your statement was posted by The OriginalGenuineRealTolkki TM in another topic.

Anyway it's interesting to see Mike complaining and Justin being happy and calmed. Seems like two parts of the same story.

I posted the statement too. In the Flames section.

And I don't really know what to belvie. Mike says you guys didn't know about it. You say you did. It is a weird situation.

Descend is an interesting name for a band.
I associate that word with...elevators, coal mines, and puberty

:ola:

Anyway, you seem to be handling this split pretty well. The only split Tolkki handles well is a banana split...he's a true master I guess on account of your last name you are pretty good at being the "bigger" man, but besting a man of Tolkki's size at that game is nothing to scoff at!
