Lighthouse Project and Combat Rock Industry have parted ways. Says the label: "It feels weird because we started doing stuff together right from the start of the band and they have an unique vision of what they do, and we still have nothing but respect for the band.. but it's just that we don't enjoy the music they currently make enough to do what a record label should do. For me an important part of the personality of the band disappeared with the departure of their original drummer, for some people it's quite the opposite like it should be.. but anyways good luck in the future!"
