Carpathian announces indefinite hiatus

Australia hardcore/punk outfit Carpathian will be going on an indefinite hiatus (sounds like a break-up to me) following a final run of shows next month in Australia. Vocalist Martin Kirby had the following to say: "The band has been an incredible ride for everyone involved and we are extremely thankful for the experiences and opportunities we have had to make music and travel the world. It has been the biggest part of our lives and touched on so many friends and family in it's almost 10 years of existence. Thank you to anyone who has had an influence on this band in any way...this doesn't mark the end but a new beginning." Since 2003, the group has released material with Deathwish Inc. and Resist Records, among other labels.
