ACHERON’S FINAL SHOWS CANCELLED
American death metal band ACHERON will be splitting up sooner than their fans thought - the group’s final concerts have been cancelled.
Last month (Apr10) the rockers announced they would soon be "done for g ood" and posted a message on their MySpace page titled, "ACHERON 1988-201 0 (Call it Quits) Farewell Shows Coming…" But now their fans will be left disappointed as the band has announced it will not be playing any more shows and the group has "officially been laid to rest".
In a MySpace blog post titled, "ACHERON (1988-2010) Officially Breaks U p!", frontman Vincent Crowley writes, "After a 22-year run, I am finally putting ACHERON to an end. It has been an interesting journey, but it is indeed over now.
"I know I have broken up the band in the past, but there is no turning back this time. This musical entity has run its course and I didn’t want to tarnish what ACHERON represented. Some people didn’t agree with my dec ision, but I feel I know what is right to do.
"Originally we were going to play shows until the end of the year, doin g the ‘Rites Of The Black Mass’ set. Unfortunately, the lineup I had plan ned to use for the shows didn’t work out, so all those shows have been ca ncelled, including the Central Illinois Metalfest and Michigan Death Fest ..
"I apologize to the fans and the promoters, but there is nothing I can do about it. So as of now, ACHERON will no longer be recording or playing shows. It has officially been laid to rest."
