Lord Belial - Announce Indefinite Hiatus


Taken straight from the band's website, Lord Belial issued the following statement:

"January 2009; Lord Belial has quit all their activities. All future gigs are cancelled. We would like to thank all fans, bands we have played with, labels, organizers and everyone involved in the band for the past 17 years!

The main reason for this is the hearing problem (tinnitus) that has grown into a quite big problem for Micke Backelin the last years... The other members in the band were not forced to put an end to the band but instead they mutually agreed that finding another drummer was not a solution for the future. Anyhow, if Micke's hearing will be at least a little bit recovered after a break from music and especially live appearances for some time, we really hope that we can continue where we ended.

We will not comment or discuss this in emails etc."

I can't say that I find this a disappointment. They never seemed that interesting anyways. Don't take my full word on that, but merely based on 'Revelations' I wasn't personally impressed.

Mmhh...I was really digging the last record, so I guess there will be no chance to watch a video of them performing songs of that album, but what the hell

Music was my life, music brought me to life and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz in my head that only I can hear.

Too bad about the drummer's tinnitus. I hope he gets better.
