It has been announced that Engerica are to call it a day after six years together.

A band statement reads:

"It is with a sad heart and a weird feeling in our tummies that we announce as of November this year, Engerica will be no more. All the touring dates with Seether will go ahead as scheduled and there will be some one off headline shows announced shortly including our last ever gig which will be a special Halloween show at Chinnerys, Southend on 26th October.

"After this show the members of Engerica will go their seperate ways; Dave will be starting a degree and learning to play the piano, Mike will be playing solo and recording some tracks shortly and Neil will be starting a new life away from Essex.

"The split is entirely amicable and all members of the band still love each other very much. We would like to thank all of the many people who have helped the band to do all that we've done and we would especially like to thank all the fans who have supported Engerica over the past six years and made being in this band a very special and brilliant time of our lives that we will always remember, we'll see you all on the tour.

"Also a very special thank you to our long serving manager and friend, Warren Higgins, who put up with us through thick and thin. We wish him every luck in the future."
