The following announcement has just been posted via the official band Facebook page, calling it quits after 13 years and countless shows alongside legendary acts like THE DEVIL’S BLOOD in 2011 and playing a full European Headlining tour in 2014 with en route support by the recently re-formed and re-named BEASTMILK.

In Solitude“Dear friends. It is with great sadness that we inform you that we have chosen to end In Solitude here.

This is something that’s been taking shape for a long time and suddenly the day came when we had to evaluate our positions in life and find a solution.

The reasons for our departure are not hostile in any sense and our love for each other and the music is stronger than ever before. But it is with respect for that music and that love between us that we choose to end it at this point.

Changes in our personal lives demanded that we treated this as carefully as we could and with our deepest respect and reverence for all personal feelings, and for the aim of our journey.

This has been one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make and we’ve had to investigate every inch of our beings in order to make this right. In Solitude has been the center of our lives for 13 years and we’ve invested everything we have in this and to make this decision was to rip us up by ours roots and make us re-evaluate our entire lives and our future.

As the final words fell in our concluding agreement, we looked back and saw with new eyes the magnitude of our brotherhood and the things that were carried through because of it. Our trust, our love, our shared obligation. The truth of the hand and the truth of the word to disperse the bounds between us and to diverge the shore for us follow. How it gave us the width of the world and the means to share it and store it together. All that was in it and all that was taken from it. And all the things that now shall pass without our collective notice. We saw with new eyes how clarity entered in stagelight and moonlight and sunlight and darkness and landed us finally over and over in that inexplicable mystery of beauty that we’ll share as ours forever. If there was ever an accomplishment in what we did, it was the merging of the five of us in unity and the things that came as everything grew because of it. Not a single second was spared in these 13 years, and we’ll never ask for any of them back. We spent everything in our world on this and got more than everything back.

We want to thank all our closest brothers and sisters for being there and standing by our side the whole way through. Your love, support and hard work will never be forgotten and your presence have realized this band and enriched our lives in ways you’ll never understand. You are all truly the geniuses who shall change the course of the world. You know who you are. And we’ll always admire you for that.

Last, but most importantly. We thank all of you for being there. In the crowds, in front of the stereos and in our hearts. Without you, this strange and wonderful dream would never have happened. The impact of your support can never be put in words and the outcome of our lives will always be in debt to you for what you gave us. As much as we were In Solitude, you were as well.

We know that this will come as a shocking surprise for many of you. And we hope you understand that we must follow our hearts in order to stay true to what In Solitude is and what that entails.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you forever.

/Pelle, Uno, Gotte, Nicke and Henke”

THE DEVIL’S BLOOD – Release Ritual

On 11 – 11 – 11 I acquired two tokens of entry for the ritual on 12 – 11 – 11, conceiving the numbers 11 and 12. Entering the unholy halls of Club TuRock, infamous for it’s atmosphere.

None other than the Release of “The Thousandfold Epicentre”, the latest creation of THE DEVIL’S BLOOD shall be praised on this very night. Summoned devotees fill the place before passing the doorway, where inside all is crowded.

First to step upon the stage are the young yet convincingly furious IN SOLITUDE. This gathering of Swedish souls does not only leave – burnt – ashes, but far more do they share an altar with tonights protagonists. Ritual blood in their vocalists face and a fox on his shoulders complete the picture. Some of those present seem to have come here but for the opening act, making the temperature rise ever so high. Like a force of nature is not only the performance of IN SOLITUDE: Their sound appears much like a rough and dirty landescape with the feedback of the air. The beauty of the band’s second output “The World. The Flesh. The Devil” might get lost to a certain extent. One should consider listening to theirs tunes on records, be it vinyl or any other kind!

Setlist IN SOLITUDE

“The World, The Flesh, The Devil”

“We Were Never Here”

“Demons”

“To Her Darkness”

“Poisoned, Blessed and Burned”

“Witches Sabbath”

A short interlude of stage recreation marks the nearing appearance of the Ritual Master (S.L.), the Siren (F.) and their entourage. After the disillusionment which the Pre-Release Ritual at Hammer Of Doom Festival some two weeks before, became for me, this would become a memorable night for many reasons. Nothing compares to a club show and this venue is just perfect for both band and audience. Although I miss some of the early tunes like “The Graveyard Shuffle”, finally the new ones seem to get to me.

Even if not everyone around enjoys this as much as I do, those who call themselves “fans” will not regret a second of it. The action onstage is modest as ever, still inviting no too many to join this: Hands and heads are rushing to the sky, bodies in motion and the air seems to burn.

Calling it a “Ritual” raises expectations to the unexpected, still the evening has a predetermined sequence, interrupted only by some jam parts here and there. At least the Siren herself kneels infront of the altar as her voice is not needed in those parts. And not to forget the praising hands in position for minutes and minutes to come, one only keeps up to this if truly convinced!

Setlist THE DEVIL’S BLOOD

(Intro)

“Unending Singularity”

“On The Wings Of Gloria”

“River of Gold”

“Fire Burning”

“House of 10,000 Voices”

“Die The Death”

“The Heavens Cry Out For The Devil’s Blood”

“Rake Your Nails Across the Firmament”

“She”

“Christ or Cocaine”
