Singer Francesco Cremisini has amicably left Italian thrashers Enemynside. He explains in a statement: "All these years, we've worked very hard for this band to reach new levels, new challenges, and we've always tried to put something new and interesting in the sound. Now it's time for me to leave and let the band continue the good work we've been done for a long time!"

After Francesco's departure, guitarist Francesco De Honestis also decided to leave Enemynside because he was not available to recreate band's lineup. The remaining members of the group are still committed to Enemynside but will take a break in order to come up with new ideas and figure out the best way to manage the current situation.

Enemynside's latest album, "Whatever Comes", was released on September 10, 2012 via Mighty Music. The Cd, which was recorded at Temple Of Noise studios, features a guest appearance by vocalist/guitarist Richie Kotzen (formerly of Poison and Mr. Big), who contributed a guitar solo to the track "Too Many Times".

Enemynside's second album, "In The Middle Of Nowhere", was released in 2008 through Hatestone Records.
