Vokonis - Call It Quits
After 10 years of creation and 5 studio album releases, the Swedish stoner/prog rockers Vokonis have decided to call it quits. More can be read in their statement, as well as the label statement, below.
Statement from the band as follows: "Vokonis have come to an end. We'd like to thank everyone who's listened to our music, come to our shows and supported us in any way possible. We might come back in the future, we might not.
"We're gonna keep creating music in a different shape and under a different name. Again, thank you all who's taken part in our journey."
Majestic Mountain Records label commented: "It is with heavy hearts that we at Majestic Mountain mark this somber day. We’ve been ardent supporters of Vokonis’ music since their inception in 2015, closely following their profound influence on the heavy music scene and their remarkable evolution from stoner doom roots to the expansive realms of progressive metal that is the album ‘Transitions’.
"So it goes without saying that releasing Vokonis latest album, Transitions, has been a true privilege for us at Majestic Mountain. A true milestone for us as a label.
"We’ll all miss Vokonis, but we’re also already looking forward to hear where their new musical journey takes us.
"Vokonis, Thank you for the music."

Written by RaduP on 13.03.2025 at 14:14 Yeah for sure - the last album wasn't as good as Odyssey, but still good enough to give confidence that there was more good music left in them still. Although the announcement makes it sound like at least some of the people in the band will be continuing on as part of another project?
