FROM MIA WALLACE:
It
is with sadness I have been forced to part ways with Abbath. It has
been a challenging but exhilarating/exciting time and I am proud of my
contribution to the Outstrider album, the concerts, the videos for
Harvest Pyre and Hecate and the visuals and promotion of the band in
general. For me, being a part of Abbath was a dream come true and I can
say with my hand on my heart I have been loyal to the team and to Abbath
himself. Everyone can see this from the Argentina concert where I stood
on the stage until the bitter end. I have not always agreed with
certain other people in the Abbath camp and I have given my opinion
honestly without anger or negative intent.
Unfortunately not everyone can take this.
I am disappointed that none of my former colleagues have contacted me in this process except for the five minute phone call from Abbath's manager in which I was told I would no longer be needed.
I was told not to contact anyone in the band. The explanation for this had no substance and just made more questions and confusion for me.
Up until then I had been preparing for the European tour as I had been told to do. I had to cancel other plans, and get time off work for the tour which I spent much time preparing for.
I am truly grateful for all the support from the fans, media, everyone at Season of Mist and collaborators of Abbath!
Thank you so much! It means everything to me in this difficult time.
I also wish only the best for Abbath whom I will always admire as an artist and thank him for the opportunity he has given me. Now I shall focus on my next step. Several very interesting new projects are in the works. I promise you have not heard the last of me.
Ciao!
