His departure from DEMONS AND WIZARDS, the band in which he participated together with the guitarist and mainman of ICED EARTH Jon Schaffer, was announced by their singer and BLIND GUARDIAN singer Hansi Kürsch.

Kürsch announced that in consultation with Schaffer and Century Media Records, the label that owned the band, decided to leave following the scandal over Schaffer’s involvement in the US Capitol episodes, expressing his opposition to his friend’s choice to join the riot

Kürsch’s departure from the band obviously marks the end of it.
It should be noted that Schaffer voluntarily surrendered to US justice, without any conviction against him yet.
