"Dear Friends,
After 10 years of making music as The Blood Brothers, we have made the collective decision that our time together has come to an end. We feel extremely fortunate to have spent such a deeply memorable and amazing part of our lives with each other. At this point, however, we feel it's best that our futures move forward on separate paths. We'd like to express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all the bands we've played with, individuals who have helped us make our records, and fans who have come to our shows and picked up our music throughout the years. Your friendship, support and love hold such a profoundly special place in each of our hearts. We hope that the memories you attach to our music are as fond as those you have given us. Thank you and take care, we'll miss all of you.
Love,
The Blood Brothers"
...and with that statement one of my favorite bands are fucking done. They opened up so many doors for me. I've met so many great people just from liking that band. My love for heavy music in general came from me getting into them.
They were the first band to show me that music could be used as an art form, not just entertainment and I will always appreciate that.
This might sound a little premature, but they were my fucking Beatles.
The one band from which all my influences originate.
R.I.P. boys. I'm going to miss you.
