Darkane vocalist Lawrence Mackrory has sadly quit the band. In a statement, Mackrory said he simply lost the dedication and passion for making music with Darkane. Mackrory originally fronted Darkane between 1998 and 1999, and then again between 2011 and present day.
"The time has come to announce my departure from Darkane. I've struggled to find the passion and dedication these last few years and that's why I have decided that the best thing to do is to hand in my resignation. If I can't do it 100% why do it at all? That's always been my motto and continues to be.
"It's been so much fun making music, touring, and hanging out with some of my best friends since I rejoined the band in 2011. And they are the ones I will miss the most. But meeting all the dedicated Darkane fans has been the highlight. There are so many of you out there who are passionate about the band and to you I give a big heartfelt THANK YOU!"
Darkane also commented: "Lawrence has been handeling the vocal duties for Darkane on the debut album Rusted Angel (1999), The Sinister Supremacy (2013) and Inhuman Spirits (2022). He's been a huge part of the Darkane history and the rest of the members would like to say a huge thank you! We wish him all the best with everything. He is a very talented vocalist, song writer, producer, engineer, mastering wizard and a very good friend. Much love from Peter, Christofer, Jörgen and Klas."
