DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE, die Band um KATATONIA-Gitarrist Anders Nyström haben sich nach einem ergebnislosen Versuch des Songwritings für ein fünftes Album aufgelöst.

Anders, der unter dem Pseudonym Blakkheim bei Band agierte, gab dazu folgendes Statement ab:

"Blakkheim has decided to put his solo project, DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE, to rest. Despite the commencement of a combined composing/recording process of a fifth album last year, the utterly slow progress along with the lack of updates sustained the very worst fear; the spirits didnt come to him this time. Maybe or maybe not, everyone knows how big role the spirits have had on the completion of the former albums and without even a spark of their presence it wasnt possible to move forward with the fifth album."
