Napoleon was a metalcore ensemble originating from Exeter, England, established in 2011.
On 3 February 2019, the group revealed their plan to part ways, culminating their journey with a concluding two-week tour across Europe.
"After nearly a decade together, we have mutually agreed that it is time to bring the band to a close. This choice was carefully considered and aligns with our personal paths. Throughout our career, we have created lasting memories, toured extensively, and built connections with fans around the globe. We owe everything to your unwavering support—thank you to everyone who played a role in our journey. Our farewell will be marked by a two-week European tour, and we hope to see all our supporters there to make it a memorable finale!"
