Steve Janevski has made the following statement on the band’s official Facebook page regarding his departure.

“It’s with a heavy heart that I am writing to tell you that I have decided to part ways with my brothers in Black Majesty. I have nothing but good things to say about the members in the band. We have had so many good times together and I am extremely proud of the eight albums that we recorded together. I am going to miss everyone, but we remain friends for life. I wish Black Majesty nothing but the best for the future”.
