Lead vocalist Matt Good release this statement about the hiatus: "Hey guys, just wanted to take a minute to update you all with the current status of FFTL.

We have been best friends for years and will continue to be for as long as I can possibly foresee, so I don't want anyone to think this is a result of animosity between them and I.

Four full length albums and almost 8 years of solid touring later, the urge to see what else we are capable of achieving is almost overwhelming and I feel like there is no better time than now to go ahead and take a leap of faith and see what happens.

We love every single person that has ever helped make our dream of being musicians and traveling the world come true.

"[2] Bloom formed grindcore band The Color of Violence with future members of From First to Last, including current guitarist and vocalist Matt Good, as well as former bassist Joe Antillion and former guitarist Travis Richter, as well as Richter's friend Chad Crews on guitar.
