Arcturus calls it quits

This was the first post.

Arcturus disbanded after the Australian tour. I didn't know about it till just now, some think its an April Fools joke and then I look at the comments and a girl got a message from Hellhammer saying it's true. They haven't sent me anything but I'm going to assume this is the last for Arcturus. Hails to them, and if this is a joke, then thats just sick.

Followed by this post later today.

This came from the Arcturus Official Website Forum from a fan:

Ok, I've heard more about this from the source (somebody close to the promoters at Just Say Rock). Apparently Hellhammer will soon be moving to Dimmu Borgir full-time (I know, it's an insane waste) and Vortex will be leaving the band also (not sure if this is also to be in Dimmu Borgir full-time).

This would leave Knut, Sverd and Tore looking for a fifth vocalist and lacking arguably their best member (Hellhammer). Therefore they have decided to split-up for now, and are not ruling out reforming in a few years for another album.

This was explicitly confirmed for the promoters by the band themselves, and comes from one of the most reliable sources in the Australian metal scene.

I'm personally waiting for the next update of this website or the next interview with Arcturus to see what will happen...

I messaged Hellhammer myself just to make sure. So I'll wait and see whats happening.
