Johan Axelsson hat sich erstmals mit einem Statement zum Split von DERANGED geäußert, bei denen er den Sechssaiter bediente.

"I'm really sad and surprised that it should end like this….

"First of all I would like to thank all the fans that have supported the band during the years I would also like to thank all the bands we have played with…

"In my opinion, me and Martin [Schönherr, vocals] was agreed on the same thing — that it didn’t feel right to do the [previously announced] shows after Rikard's [Wermén, drums] decision to leave the band. Thomas [Ahlgren, bass] disagreed and still wanted to do the shows. It left Martin and me — the majority [of] the remaining band — to take the decision.

"I don't understand what did change that. When I read the official statement regarding the split, I [didn't] see any agreements and me Johan [were made out] to be the ones that split up the band. I was also surprised when I heard that there was another version of the story when I talked with Thomas. 'Cause of reason unknown?? I mean, if Rikard quit the band, where is the future of the band anyway?"
