We hereby announce after a long and careful consideration that we have decided to quit Norther.
*
During the last year it has become clear that we are not able to tour or do shows as much as we would want to, this being due to members´ complicated and time consuming life situations. We have been forced to find session members and turn down too many gig offers. We simply cannot act as an active and working band and it is clear that these issues are not solved in the future. This is everything but an easy decision for all of us, but all this have taken the band to the point that pulling the plug is the right thing to do. There is no drama, this is a mutual decision and we all remain as good friends. The last show of Norther will be on the 10th of August at Brutal Assault Festival 2012 (CZ).
*
However, most of us will continue in other bands: Jukka in Wintersun and Amberian Dawn, Aleksi in Medicated and ASXX, Daniel in Naildown, Heikki in Naildown, Tuoni and Amberian Dawn, and Kristian in his solo project.
*
Norther would like to thank especially our FANS, friends and partners for their support for the past 12 years. Also great hails goes to Tomi Luoma, our ex-members Toni Hallio and Petri Lindroos, and producer Anssi Kippo for their contribution. It has been one hell of a ride and together we shared truly unforgettable moments!!
*
Thank you,
Aleksi, Jukkis, Tuomas, Kride, Heikki, Daniel

One of my favorite bands of all time but I'm glad they're finally ending it.

Not to sound like a dick but hasn't this band been bad for a while?

I think I listened to Death Unlimited back when I was a big melodic death fan. What album should I check out?

Not my usual thing, but I actually liked them. And never saw them.

Dreams of Endless War and Mirror of Madness.

Most of the newer shit sucks.
