French electronic music duo Daft Punk has officially broken up after nearly three decades.

The group released a new video title "Epilogue" which shows the pair out in the desert in their signature helmets. Thomas Bangalter, in the silver helmet, then initiates a self-destruct sequence on Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, in the gold helmet. Bangalter walks away as his partner explodes and the sun sets. Pitchfork reached out to the band's publicist, who confirmed that they were calling it quits.

The duo formed in Paris in 1993 and soon became an essential part of the growing French house movement of the late '90s. Their 1997 debut album, Homework, received critical acclaim, but it was the 2001 follow-up, Discovery, that put them on the map thanks to singles like "One More Time" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger." The band long used masks to cover their faces and rarely gave interviews, preferring to let their music speak for them. Since 1999, they've appeared almost exclusively in their trademark silver and gold robot masks.

Discovery would be used as the soundtrack to the duo's 2003 film, Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, an anime-inspired movie composed of narrative music videos to all of the album's songs. The videos would not only make a splash on MTV but on Cartoon Network as well, which would air them alongside Gorillaz videos.

Daft Punk continued to gain recognition with their third album, Human After All, a Grammy win for their live album, Alive 2007, and Kanye West's massive hit "Stronger," which sampled "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger."

In 2010, the duo was brought aboard Tron: Legacy, the sequel to the 1982 cult hit Tron. The soundtrack was critically well-received, arguably better than the film itself, which garnered mixed reviews. Their final album, Random Access Memories, was released in 2013 and saw collaborations with Niles Rodgers, Pharrell, Panda Bear and more. Their most commercially successful album, Random Access Memories won the group five Grammys in 2014, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for the hit single "Get Lucky."

The pair's last major release was 2016's "Starboy" with The Weeknd, which awarded them their first number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. With the band's split, it seems that they won't be soundtracking the long-gestating Tron 3, which Jared Leto will star in and is in the works from Disney and director Garth Davis.
