THE AGONY SCENE’s Michael Williams has recently addressed rumors of the band breaking up and touring plans:

“THE AGONY SCENE will be taking a break for the rest of 2003 and regrets that they will not be able to participate in the MUSHROOMHEAD and INTEGRITY tours. With the announcement of guitarist Chris Emmons leaving the group, the band will be announcing a new replacement in the near future and will be on the road in early 2004. This has been a great year for THE AGONY SCENE and we appreciate everyone’s interest and support. We respect Chris’ decision to move on and wish him the best. THE AGONY SCENE will be back - we’re writing some great new material and look forward to hitting the road again soon.”
