BATTLELORE Taking 'Indefinite Break' From Touring And Making Music
November 4, 2011Finnish fantasy metallers BATTLELORE have released the following statement:
"BATTLELORE played their last foreign show for the time being in Belgium, at Metal Female Voices Fest IX, on Friday, October 21st 2011. After that the band is going on an indefinite break from touring and making music. This is not the end, however, just a time-out to focus on other aspects of life and build up more creative energy for the future. The plan is to play one more show in Finland before the break to thank the Finnish fans for their support over the years. The details of the last show are not confirmed yet but will be announced as soon as the information comes.
"There's no drama behind the decision to go on break, just a need to take a step back and have a breather.
"We want to thank all of our associates and supporters for the help and work over the past nearly 12 years. We've been lucky to have met and worked with such wonderful people! The biggest thanks definitely go to our amazing fans, without whom none of this would've been possible. We are honoured to have met you all and are humbled by your generosity and support! You all have a place in our hearts and we will always cherish the amazing moments we've shared with you on and off stage. THANK YOU!"
BATTLELORE's sixth full-length album, "Doombound", was released in January via Napalm Records. The band's first conceptual effort, features lyrics which "tell the story of J.R.R. Tolkien's tragic hero Trin Turambar and his kin," according to a press release. "One of the songs is sung completely in Finnish in appreciation to BATTLELORE's beautiful home country Finland and Kalevala, the national Finnish epic. The songs themselves are more dynamic, atmospheric and epic than ever before."
