Following "Mutto"
's time on Australian Idol he decided to stand down from the band in July 2007 for personal reasons, and the band subsequently went on a break after six months.
On 1 February 2008 the band posted this message on their website, formally announcing the end to Soulframe;
"Hi guys
As some of you have heard, we here at Soulframe have been on a break since July 7 when for personal reasons, Mutto stood down from his position with the band.
The time since has given each band member time to reflect and pray through what the next step should be as individuals and as a band.
After much discussion and consideration, we decided this week to officially bring Soulframe to an end.
While we are not yet certain what the future holds, we feel that the 'season' for Soulframe as a group has ended. We remain close friends and are sad to see things come to an end with the band, but are also looking forward to new beginnings.
We want to take this opportunity to say thanks to all of you for your support and for being with us on the journey for the past 7 years - for buying our albums, coming to gigs and supporting our music; more than that, thank you for getting behind the 'soul' of the band - the dream that ordinary people can enjoy their giftings and make a positive impact with what they have.
We wish you all the best in your journey from here, and thank you again for being an amazing part of ours for the past 7 years.
