Slaves Announce Sudden Break-Up

California rockers Slaves have left fans devastated with news that they have split following the final two shows of their US tour with Sydney metalcore outfit Capture The Crown, just weeks after lead guitarist Alex Lyman announced his departure from the band. 

Without any prior indication, a statement posted to the group's Facebook page over the weekend read, "Tonight in Sacramento and tomorrow in Santa Cruz are the last Slaves shows EVER. Come send the band off with us."

The band's final show took place last night and just hours ago, Lyman took to his personal Twitter page to thank his fans and fellow band members.

Meanwhile, frontman Jonny Craig has kept people guessing after promising an announcement, which he has since delayed.

"If you are waiting for my announcement please be patient it will be coming in the next few days. Need to type it all out," Craig posted to his Twitter account.

Announcement in two days!!!! Stay tuned!

Slaves released two albums since forming in 2014,  Through Art We Are All Equals and last year's Routine Breathing.

The band found themselves in a controversial situation last year after they were kicked off the popular US Warped Tour, following allegations of drug use and sexual assault. 

Shortly after the ugly incident, Craig released a statement denying the allegations.
