Veteran German death metal band Morgoth have officially broken up. The band has been on hiatus since 2018.
Says the group in a statement:
“It’s already been 2,5 years since our last updates and the announcement of an indefinite hiatus in regards to any band activities. Time surely flies! “In the meantime and after much deliberation, we can now announce that we have indeed reached the end of the road for MORGOTH. “It’s been an interesting and challenging ride since the band’s initial reunion and we will forever cherish all of the incredible experiences and great memories from these years. We thank ALL OF YOU for that! “Please keep enjoying and supporting the music that will forever remain out there for all of us. Best of wishes for a hopefully good/better new year 2021…Stay safe and stay heavy!!! “MORGOTH (1987 – 2020)”
Morgoth’s last album, Ungod, was released via Century Media in 2015.
In 2018, the band announced they were taking a hiatus. At the time, guitarist Sebastian Swart explained:
“Since a while it is difficult for us to act flexibly enough as a band. The main reason is that we all live spread all over Germany. My individual reasons are the fact that I suffer from massive and multiple hearing problems, and on top of that, I will be moving abroad for my work.“
