Chiodos Break Up Confirmed By Craig Owens

(Metal Hammer) Craig Owens has confirmed that Chiodos have split up. Their last studio album was 2014's Devil, but the vocalist reports that they decided to call it a day as they "just couldn't stay afloat."

Owens tells Billboard: "It's done - it just couldn't stay afloat. There were just kind of, not necessarily bad vibes, but we came to the realization that we can't do it full-time.

"I think it just stopped becoming a passion for all of us, so we said, 'All right, let's stop.'" But while Owens has ended one chapter of his career, he's started another - announcing new project BXC, aka badXchannels.

He's been working with Panic! At The Disco producer Erik Ron for the last 18 months, with the band's debut EP WHYDFML out on November 18. Watch a video for the track One Car Funeral here.
