Official statement drom Jasse Von Host (guitar) from CHARON:

After long consideration and prioritizing, I have come to a point where it is time for me to put a phase in my life behind me. I feel that Charon has nothing more to give me, musically or otherwise, and my interest in the band has faded completely.

During the last year, I have simply had enough of all that.

At the moment, I’m concentrating on my day job.

I will continue with music in the future, and I’m constantly writing new material. In which context it will be used remains to be seen.

I want to thank all our fans and supporters for great years with the band.
