- The band described the decision as difficult but right, expressed gratitude for 10 epic years with Burkheiser, and wished him success in his future endeavors.
- I Prevail intends to continue delivering high-energy performances, including songs from their catalogue, has new music planned, and will perform in the upcoming Summer of Loud tour.
