"Attention for everyone who has been waiting for the news. Saud has decided to make The Holy Guile a full time band with all new members. With that being said TCA will not be putting out another album. We appreciate every last fan who supported us through thick and thin ! The rest of our merch is still available online! so get what's left. Also support THG and everything Saud an the rest of the band do. Saud will be posting a update video explaining more this week."

Originally formed in 2007, The Crimson Armada has released albums with Metal Blade Records and Artery Recordings.
