The band now wants to sever ties with the label. On March 14, at a premiere of Breaking a Monster, the documentary about the band, singer Malcolm Brickhouse stated, "Our attorneys are working on our exit from Sony now." He declined to give any other details about the band's relationship with the label. The band's manager, Alan Sacks, confirmed the statement.
