Chicago, IL's Ateriavia has broken up. The band, who released Regarding the Midwest, Sleeping this year, saw the departure of of vocalist Matt Forkenbrock as well as guitarist Nicole Beres but the remaining members do plan to continue on in a new project. The band posted this in their myspace.com blog:

We (Eric, Chris and Mike) have no hard feelings toward their departure and wish them the best in whatever they do next [and ] also decided it would be wrong and in poor taste to continue on as this band and are going to start fresh with a new project. We haven't decided yet on a full lineup but are already in the process of writing in order to record 3 to 4 songs sometime in early June.

The current lineup band has also lined up a final show on April 16th at Earthworm Empire in Kankakee, IL.

Update: We spoke with Erik at Lujo who added that the remaining members of the band are currently auditioning vocalists and that they are very much committed to continuing on together.
