Guitarist Kris Norris confirmed rumours that he has left his longtime band, Darkest Hour. He made a statement via Blabbermouth:

Well, I'm not in the band anymore; see it how you want. Let's do no press statements, let's do no bullshit, let's just leave it what it is -- I'm not in the band anymore, that's all. See you if I see you. I'm actively pursing some producing routes and any band that might want a guitarist, feel free. I haven't off music totally, not just yet.

The band released Deliver Us in 2007.
