Veteran post-hardcore outfit These Arms Are Snakes have officially called it quits after eight years performing together. Via a post on their official blog, the group thanked fans, friends and fellow bands for their support and for various other decidedly more specific things. Missing from the statement, however, was any clear indication of the reasoning behind the break up. Read the full announcement after the jump.

From The Band:
It's with a heavy heart we tell you that These Arms Are Snakes is no more. It's been a great run and we'd like to send out a very hearty "Thank You" to everyone that we've worked with or anyone that we've toured with; anyone that lent us a floor, towed our van and/or trailer, lent a van, given us a listen, downloaded our records prior to their coming out, bought our shit, or asked us where our band name came from; everyone who cooked us food, made habanero-infused tequila, had a safety meeting with us, let Steve gyrate all over you, had to live with any of us, made us pay shitloads of money to get off your punk label, got us into LOST, found Steve drunkenly wandering the streets of Tokyo alone, played Madlibs in the van (plural nouns), lost money promoting one of our shows, took Chris to the hospital, put up with our drunken sorry asses, got into a fight with us, etc. etc.

TAAS

The Seattle, Washington-based band's last album was 2008's Tail Swallower and Dove.
