If the story is true, they are quitting not to please the fans (hence the "closed minded" comment again), but to avoid getting slammed. It simply isn't worth it to them at this point. If it is not within them to make tech death, they will never again get it right. I was never a fan anyway, but Flo is acting childish (in both articles) to what should have been a predicted response from such music. Metal fans are harsh critics, but this music is absolutely ridiculous.
