Yesterday The Ark first time presented their (probably the last in The Ark history) single "Breaking Up With God" at Grammis awards, today we've got a nice backstage video containing also some clips from performance. We don't know if it will serve as music video in future. Would be a bit strange remembering about how massive The Ark videography is but however it was touching to see them apart from stage extravagant image as ordinary people.
Among another artists on the stage audience could see performances of Malena Ernman, Håkan Hellström, Anna Järvinen, Lykke Li, Magnus Carlsson and others. People could even see Håkan Hellström, Eva Dahlgren, Melody Club and Tove Styrke singing together with The Ark one of The Ark's big hits "Calleth You, Cometh I". Melody Club and The Ark on one stage, isn't it symbolic few weeks before MF?

One of the most popular bands in Sweden and the winner of Melodifestivalen-2007 - The Ark is finishing its existance next year.
Earlier last Autumn The Ark shocked their fans by news that in 2010 they will release their greatest hits compilation "Arkeology" on February 23rd containing two new songs "Breaking Up With God" and "The Apocalypse Is Over", will go on tour during Spring-Summer and will break up. Explanation of this solution was their wish to go further and make something new and grow more but apart. Vocalist Ola Salo currently doesn't have any plans for his future, recently becoming father he sees himself only in this role for now but he's not going to end up with music completely.
Tomorrow The Ark will release their single "Breaking Up With God" - nice pop-rock radio-track sounding like sharp and epic U2's "Beautiful Day" softened being painted with glam bright colours of The Ark.
Below you can listen to "Breaking Up With God" and check tracklist of "Arkeology".
