Während ETERNAL TEARS OF SORROW seit März eine Pause eingelegt haben, hat sich die Band nun entschieden, komplett das Handtuch zu werfen. Die Musiker wollen allerdings weiter aktiv bleiben, allerdings neue Wege einschlagen. Mehr über die weiteren Aktivitäten wird man in Zukunft auf der ETOS-Homepage erfahren können.
Hier das Statement der Band:
“With mixed feelings we have to announce that Eternal Tears of Sorrow have decided to split up. EToS have been on a break since March 2002. During the break, it has become obvious that it is time to quit. This band started as a free-time activity about ten years ago. As we got more success, we also needed to give more and more of our time to the band. Day by day, we realised the band had become a full-time job for us. Now it’s time to move on and do something different. This band achieved much more than we could imagine when we formed up this band. However, we don’t stop making and playing music. Check out the official EToS website regularly for information about the members and their other projects and bands. The site has been online for almost seven years now and will remain as it is. Only the address has changed: www.etos.tk . We thank all our fans for support! A huge number of nice things happened to us between 1994 and today, thanks to you!
On behalf of Eternal Tears of Sorrow in early January 2003,
Jarmo Puolakanaho & Altti Veteläinen (the founding members)
