;_____; Why they do this?

WHY.

Well, my hopes were raised for a little moment there...

Myspace ? really ?

Just kidding

It's actually better than what I expected. I expected them to say they were disbanding.
Well, this is still good news!

The anti-update

I didn't even know they were still alive. Oh well, no new album I guess.

Thank god this important message was delivered in a timely fashion.

Haha this is a terrible news update!

"and it always remains a possibility as long as the band exists"
what else would they do as a band? ...this update prolly raised more questions than answered...

Well, seeing that they write pretty boring music, that's no loss!

Boring and cheesy.

To each their own, but I've enjoyed the band's music for years. Anyone who's heard "Starfire Burning Upon The Ice-Veiled Throne Of Ultima Thule" could agree that the band did do their own thing with black metal, and I think they are the only black metal band I've ever heard, that narrated in their songs. Listening to their music wasn't just like listening to song, it was like experiencing some great old tale. It makes me think of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert Howard, and is truly black metal for fans of finely written fantasy and horror. I've loved the riffs, the melodies, and even got used to the scowl approach with time. The one thing that I can say that makes their sound truly timeless, is that there's been nobody else out there like them in the realms of black metal.

Trust me, I've been trying to find something to get my Bal-Sagoth fix with for years now. Summoning perhaps? Nope. Just not the same. I heard some years ago that their frontman was going to be working on some graphic novels or something. But it seems that this never came to pass.

I think because of the band's uniqueness, they are always going to have mixed sentiments from listeners. But we can also say that about bands like Diablo Swing Orchestra, which people either love or hate. It's been six years since the hexology was completed, and I hope we'll hear something else from these guys in the future. But I'm still saying the same about The Kovenant's upcoming album, that's been upcoming for almost ten years now.

Because God likes to play with his food before he eats it.

Bal-Sagoth has a great cheese factor and lacks in some areas, but their music is not boring to me. For me the worst part are the drums, they sound so god damn fake. This update actually had a negative effect on my thoughts toward this band, good job "lord" byron.

Bal-Sagoth are a legend in music in general and there is no other band like their sound and vibe! It's a shame they don't want to make music anymore, but that's their right. Only us fans are losing, but apparently these guys are sold out and that's clearly the truth! Still, they are great and will remain so in the history of music! Respect and respect from us fans and thanks for having you!
