KHOLD Is 'Put On Ice'

April 24, 2006

Norwegian black metalers KHOLD have issued the following statement:

"We are sorry to announce that KHOLD has been put on ice for an undetermined length of time. The members of KHOLD feel they need a break to gather their thoughts about the future. The members will each have their own projects from this day on.

"Sarke [drums] and Gard [guitar, vocals] will continue with their pre-KHOLD project, TULUS. They will enter studio and record their fourth album. Rinn [guitar] is about to build his own studio and will start producing other artists as well as continuing a previous project, SENSA ANIMA. Grimd is proud to announce that he will be an organ donor. In order to keep his organs in the best possible condition he will make sure they're drenched with alcohol most of the time.

"This announcement does not mean that KHOLD is dead and buried. We all still keep in touch with each other. If the time is right KHOLD will once again rise from the icy north!

"We would like to thank all our fans for all your support through all these years!"

KHOLD recently put the finishing touches on their self-produced second video from their latest album, "Krek". The clip, for the song "Innestengt I Eikekiste", "will be coming to a screen near you shortly!" according to a press release.

As previously reported, KHOLD's video for the track "Blog Og Blek" has been posted online at Candlelight USA's web site. Visitors can download or view (available for both high- or low-speed connection) the Norwegian band's last clip in support of "Krek" at this location.

Formed in 2000, KHOLD is said to be "one of the most unique bands" in the extreme metal genre. Their 2004 CD, "Morke Graves Kammer", was their first with proper U.S. distribution. "Krek" is the fourth studio album from the widely respected black metal band.
