THE DUSKFALL Calls It Quits

August 23, 2008

Swedish metallers THE DUSKFALL have decided to disband following the departure of guitarist and main songwriter Mikael Sandorf.

Commented Sandorf: "The time has come for me to leave THE DUSKFALL after nine years. This has been a decision I have breathed, slept and thought over for a long time. I have gone through a lot of good and fun times with the rest of the guys but keeping this band alive has taken a toll on me in my personal life. I feel that we have managed to write and record four great albums together, but now it's time for me to move on.

"I want to thank everyone that has been involved in this journey and especially all the fans that has supported us all these years! You guys are great!!!

"I feel like there is a lot of creativity waiting around the next corner and I have already plans on what to do next, so be patient and stay on your toes for my next adventure."

THE DUSKFALL had its fourth CD, "The Dying Wonders of the World", released in the U.S. on August 12 via Locomotive Records. The CD, which came out in Europe last October via Massacre, was recorded at Uppsala, Sweden's Dug-Out Studios (drums, vocals and the mix) by Daniel Bergstrand (IN FLAMES, DEFLESHED, DARK FUNERAL, BEHEMOTH, SOILWORK) and Promile Studios (guitars and bass) by Michael Hahne. It was mastered by Achim Köhler at Indiscreet Audio in Germany.
