MIA WALLACE (ABBATH): "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. "

MIA WALLACE, bassist for Norwegian black metal warriors ABBATH have announced she was forced to leave the band.









Late last year, ABBATH announced he will enter rehab for undisclosed addictions. .ABBATH cancelled the remainder of the bands 2019 SOUTH AMERICAN tour after a disastrous shortened set in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  


ABBATH have announced SEPTEMBER 2020 ASIAN and AUSTRALIAN TOUR DATES (SINGAPORE and JAPAN).




ABBATH  unleashed "OUTSTRIDER",  7/5/2019 via SEASON OF MIST.











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!
Mia
