Himsa calls it quits

As we first reported two weeks ago, Seattle, Washington's Himsa is indeed breaking up. Formed in 1998, the band has released albums with Century Media Records, Prosthetic Records, and Revelation Records. Bassist Derek Harn comments: "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." Himsa will play a final show on August 16th at the El Corazon in Seattle.
