Einherjer Splits
Norway's EINHERJER have officially called it a day. The following is the group's statement on the matter:
"After 11 years, 4 albums and 2 mini-albums, we've decided to split up EINHERJER. We feel that we've made the album we wanted with 'Blot' and therefore a journey of 11 years has come to an end. We would like to thank everybody who has supported us through the years.
"For us, it is time to move on. We are definitively not retiring as musicians, so you haven't heard the last from us yet…
"Regards, Frode, Aksel & Gerhard"
