Finnish death doomers Solothus have officially announced their disbandment. The group, which is planning a split release with Temple Of Void in July, will hold their last concerts at the Tuska Festival in Finland and Brutal Assault in Czech Republic.

Official statement from the group: "The time has come for Solothus to sheathe the bloodied sword and enter the slumber of ages. We stand extremely proud of all the deeds we have accomplished and the path we have travelled, but there truly is a time for everything and now we see that Solothus has ran its course. There is no drama or any of that nonsense behind the decision, just the fact that now is time to concentrate on different things, musically and in personal life. We would like to thank all those who have walked with us all these years, all of those with whom we have played and all those who have supported us. Our deepest gratitude for you all.

"There will be two chances in the future to see us live. Our last show in Finland will take place at Tuska Festival and Brutal Assault will mark the last live performance by Solothus ever. After that, it is the end and the lumbering beast will be done. The split with our brothers in Temple of Void will be our swansong, there you will have the last song by Solothus.

"Fear not, the fire will keep burning stronger than ever in the bands surrounding Solothus. Keep your eyes, ears and tendrils out for Sepulchral Curse (Kari & Aleksi), Gorephilia (Tami), Cataleptic (Juha & Tami) and Tormentor Tyrant (Juha)! We will continue our work with them stronger than ever.

"No King Reigns Eternal. Hail Solothus."
