BLAZE OF PERDITION: SEND BAND UPDATE

Polish black metal warriors BLAZE OF PERDITION have sent this update on the health and future activities of the band. In early NOVEMBER,  BLAZE OF PERDITION were involved in a serious car accident while on a EUROPEAN tour near Austria, IKAROZ was killed (in the accident) and died at 30 as other members of the band were seriously injured. 

















According to DIEPRESSE.COM (AUSTRIA), the driver of the four occupants of the vehicle apperently fell asleep for a few minutes and had allegedly "nodded off".




The POLISH MUSICIANS FOUNDATION has set up a donation account for BLAZE OF PERDITION for financial assistance regarding this medical need and to bring  "IKAROZ" (Wojciech Janus) remains home to Poland.

BLAZE OF PERDITION unleashed "The Hierophant" 9/2011 via PAGAN RECORDS and also just
unleashed a split "418-ATHUAC" with DEVATHORN 10/31/2013 via THIRD EYE TEMPLE .

FROM BLAZE OF PERDITION:
Firstly, on behalf of myself and the rest of Blaze of Perdition, I would like to thank you all for your great help. We have received massive support not only from longtime friends and colleagues but also from (often) anonymous people from all over the world, from inside and outside underground metal scene, all kinds of maniacs over there. It has been of very importance to us and would help us a lot in our returning to normal life.
Then we would like to share some official news.
So, despite having already been written off by many people, Blaze of Perditions are still alive. WE WILL NOT STOP. Indeed we need to slow down a bit, appropriate time for recovery is required, but most important is that the decision has been taken to carry on and to start working on the 3rd album as soon as possible.
As far as live performances are concerned, our activity here has been put on hold. Basically, it depends all on the state of health of the ones who suffered most, but booking agents' and promoteurs' readiness to work with us again must also be taken into consideration. However Blaze of Perdition won't be returning to live concerts soon.
A couple of words about Sonneillon's and Vizun's health condition.
S. state of health has been improving significantly. He remains at hospital in Lublin, interacting with people with no serious constrains. Despite heavy physical and mental damages he displays enormous strenght and willingness to get well. Nevertheless, long-term rehabilitation is needed for full recovery.
Vizun is staying at his home, being able to move and walk on his own, however his injury is also heavy (indeed not as serious as Sonnellon's). There might be a need for surgery. We all hope for his return to normal life (as well as his drumming duties) in a couple of months time.
From now on we are disappearing from the scene, but we would be back in due time. The only pieces of news to appear in the near future will be related to overdue releases.

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
