...and it's bye bye from Battlewitch

Postby Mazz on Tue Sep 15, 2009 10:22 am

Some call it indefinite hiatus...I call it the end.

From our forum..

"It is with some sadness that I must announce that the all conquering mighty Battlewitch are going onto an indefinite hiatus due to insane reasons beyond our control. As a result of this, all upcoming gigs have been cancelled and anything Battlewitch related is going up on the shelf until further notice. Thanks to everyone who has supported us in one way or another - you mad fools - you know who you are.

Cheers,
Kev

I shall be retiring to my Citadel to finger my copies of Dark Elf porn.

Cheers

This is bad news indeed, Battlewitch were the greatest band in the world, probably better than Iron Maiden and AC/DC combined. I shall mourn you.

In this very sad moment, you still managed to make me chuckle though... "due to insane reasons," absolutely wonderful.

Don't worry, Metalbrew will save up some money and pay you three million dollars to reunite in a few years time.

I like the way you spotted our plan.


This is the real reason (I have just given an interview to GO HEAVY METAL RADIO)..."Well the trouble is that I heard the new ‘disco’ song by the Black Crowes and realised that there is no point anymore as that song is soooo awesome."

It's not quite the end of the world as long as Ratz Ass are still together, I suppose.

Very sad to hear, Battlewitch fo lyfe.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

Was listening to Wessex Steel on the weekend. Talisman is a grand track.

A rubbish day in metal, without doubt.

There's an unseen fortune under their belts
Are golden temples a symbol of God's way
This horde of wealth is a sickening display"

All my age group have sadly "grown up" and can't be assed to bring the Metal anymore. All I ask is to sing in a band that rips off Black Sabbath, uses a Cow Bell and writes songs about Wizards, Elves and Space.

..oh but I have formed a ‘Techno Punk’ band. It’s bloody ridiculous but good fun.
