Seattle hardcore/metal outfit Himsa have officially announced their breakup. Bassist Derek Harn issued the following statement:
After 10+ years, four releases, countless tours and almost incomprehensible (yet constant) upheaval, the last three years of the band have been relatively stable. Having sacrificed everything we had in order to ensure the band's survival it's time to let it go. We made a great CD (Summon in Thunder/Century Media); reportedly, our best. We've got a great label. We're getting along, we've toured and we're fine. It's all good. We're leaving it at that.
The band will play their final show August 16th at the El Corazon in Seattle, WA.
