On December 17, 2010, after an extended period of inactivity and infrequent updates, Finch officially announced that they had broken up. Their third studio album failed to materialize as each member had broadened his "musical ," which made it difficult for the band to collaborate on new music. On the day of their announced break, Finch also released several new items through their webstore. A digital single titled "Epilogue" was released that featured two mastered recordings of "Hail to the Fire" and "World of Violence", which were to appear on their third album. Also released was a free download of "Bury White" originally by Far, a new version of "Finch" with three bonus tracks, and the American release of "A Far Cry From Home" (previously only available in Japan).
