Eternal Tears Of Sorrow – Calling It Quits

The statement reads as follows: “The two of us began this Eternal Tears Of Sorrow journey back in early 1992 when we formed Andromeda. After a few twists, it became Eternal Tears Of Sorrow — a band that lasted for about 30 years.

Now, it’s our turn to turn off the lights.

Eternal Tears Of Sorrow has completed its journey. This is the end. We’ve seen, experienced, and done everything possible for this band, for our fans. This is a mutual decision, with every member fully behind it, and there’s no hard feelings this time.

We want to thank everyone for these incredible years — every member who has ever been part of the band, everyone who has worked with us behind the scenes, and all of you who have supported us in any way, especially you, our fans. We are eternally grateful.

There are two memories we both hold especially dear. One was our first tour — the 2000 European tour with Nightwish and Sinergy. The other was our last tour — the 2016 Japanese headlining tour. Both were dreams come true in different ways.

Life goes on, and so does the music. We both continue making music, separately. Altti’s gothic metal band has a second album coming later this year, and there’s an album from my brand-new melodic death metal band scheduled for release next year. More details will be shared when the time is right.”
