Dutch symphonic progressive metal act Stream of Passion, the band created by Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Ayreon/The Gentle Storm), has decided to call it quits after 11 years and four full length releases.

The band posted the following up on its Facebook page: "ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. ear friends and fans, over the past eleven years we've had the time of our lives playing in stages all over the world and sharing moments of joy on stage. But all good things come to an end, and we feel it's time to move on and search for new musical challenges. We're proud of everything we've achieved, with your help, and we want to end the band history on a high note instead of losing focus, interest and drive.

"Before parting ways as a band we will perform a few goodbye shows; we also want to record a DVD to serve as a memento of the good times we've had.

"Once again, we'd like to express our eternal gratitude for the support you've given us all these years. All of us will continue to make music, one way or the other; so we still hope to see you soon on a stage near you.

"Thank you for being part of the wonderful adventure that has been Stream of Passion! Marcela, Johan, Eric, Steve, Jeffrey, Martijn"

The final live performances for the band are as follows:

- Aug 26, 2016: Zebra Festival, Gemert (NL)
- Sep 2, 2016: P60, Amstelveen (NL) (DVD recording)
- Sep 7, 2016: ProgPower USA XVII, Atlanta GA (USA)
