Norwegian gothic metal outfit Mortal Love have decided to go on indefinite break after being around for over 10 years and having released 3 studio albums.

The band explained as follows: "After over 10 years together as a band, Mortal Love have decided to take a break - indefinitely.

That means no new music will be released, and no concerts or touring will take place in the foreseeable future. The break might be permamanent - or not. We don't know. All we know is that our passion for creating music through Mortal Love is not where it should be at the moment.

There are many reasons for this, the most important being time restraints due to other engagements in our private lives. We are all still the best of friends, and this decision has been mutual on all parts. This was an extremely difficult decision to make, most of all because we knew so many of you would be disappointed and let down. We can assure you that countless hours of thinking this through and weighing our options went into making this decision.

We want to thank everyone who has supported us and stood by us over the years. Our families, friends, partners in crime and bands we've played with.

Most of all we would like to thank YOU. For your love and undying support, words of encouragement and inspiration to make Mortal Love what it is. But most of all we thank you for making Mortal Love a part of your life. Because of you, Mortal Love will live on - and for that we are eternally grateful.

We will maintain our Facebook page and our Twitter account with sporadic updates. All of us will continue with other music projects, and news of them will be published through the aforementioned channels and on our website.

We would like to repeat again how much your support has meant to us - more than you can EVER imagine. Our lives have been better because of you, and from the very bottom of our hearts we thank you. Maybe we'll see you again - who knows."
