Dark Fortress - To Disband, Confirm Farewell Shows

"So we are proudly announcing our final tour together with co-Headliners The Spirit and special guests Asphagor. Come and let's celebrate one more time. This will be your last chance to see Dark Fortress live."

That's a shame as they're one of my favorite BM bands, but I'm glad I'll get a chance to see them before they call it a day.

I've never really got into this band and I have tried too. Still I wish them all the best.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 09.12.2022 at 09:14 Worse, they weren't able to actively even do that.  Boring as autopilot boring gets, the state of modern metal and all that.

Written by AndyMetalFreak on 09.12.2022 at 10:53 Have you checked the song Evenfall of Ylem? It's a really awesome and catchy song. Shame they are disbanding, but at least I should get to see them in Munich, which looks too be their last ever show. It might even get a good crowd

Written by Ball Fondlers on 10.12.2022 at 15:08 I remember quite liking their debut but not getting into their later stuff, perhaps I miss judged them, and hearing this news has now brought me to their attention so I'm tempted to give them another shot,

Stab Wounds is still to this day one of my all time favorite black metal albums. But I'm glad they are ending it officially rather than continuing to spew out mediocre albums like so many bands do towards their end. Also they ended on a good album which somewhat redeemed their previous ones so overall I'd say it's a good way to go.

Sad news, I hope we'll get new interesting projects from their members in the future...
