Progressive Group AKASHIC Splits Up

After 10 years of activities, the brazilian progressive metal band AKASHIC calls it quits. Since its creation in 1998 the group released two albums, “Timeless Realm” and “A Brand New Day”, and played lots of concerts in Brazil and Europe. The band says farewell with a new DVD, which will be released soon and will feature the band playing the best songs of their set.

The members wrote the following statement: “To all AKASHIC fans, we want to let you know that we are ending the activities of the band. We had 10 fantastic years where we learned a lot with each other, musically and personally. We recorded two CDs and a future DVD, besides of playing two european tours. In this period we focused all our creativity on Akashic. We are sure that we gave our best, maintaining the truth of each of us in every song and action made by the band so far. We thank the fans for all the support. We will keep working with music as we always did, because that's what we like to do and what we do best. Keep following our carreers and wait for the DVD which will be released soon. Thank you very much. AKASHIC”
