Black Moth announce indefinite hiatus

BLACK MOTH have announced they are going on indefinite hiatus.

Despite releasing last year’s Anatomical Venus to strong plaudits (we gave it a high 9/10 rating), the Leeds/London based band have announced they are going on indefinite hiatus. There will be two final shows. One in Leeds on 6th December and a London date to be announced shortly.

Speaking about the decision, the band says, “the time has come for the BLACK MOTH family to hang up our wings. After delivering three albums we feel we have for now, said what we came here to say. It has been a fucking privilege to play for you and share those incredible live experiences, connecting with you in that special way. We have had the honour of supporting such legends as L7, SLEEP, SISTERS OF MERCY, BIG BUSINESS, ORANGE GOBLIN, COC and UNCLE ACID not to mention touring with our dear friends GRAVE LINES, LIMB, WET NUNS, TURBOWOLF, ANTLERED MAN and many more. We’d like to say a big thanks to New Heavy Sounds for taking a punt on us back in 2012 and believing in us ever since. We’ve booked a farewell show at Brudenell Social Club on Friday 6th December. Please come and celebrate with us and help us go out with a bang. London date to follow.”
