Moria lopettaa (2003-2008)

Kalifornialainen metalcore yhtye Moria on päättänyt lopettaa uransa. Lue lisää nähdäksesi virallisen viestin bändin vokalistilta Taylor Youngilta.

Five years ago we started Moria with the intention to make music, hang out with friends and play shows. We had no expectations of touring or even releasing an album. But as time went by our hard work and dedication brought this band far beyond anything we had dreamed. We got to tour the country multiple times, meet tons of awesome people, and leave our mark on the music scene with our full length No Light Ahead.

However, It’s become increasingly harder to maintain Moria at the level it’s at, balancing school, work, and touring. We came to the conclusion we needed to drop everything and start touring full time or stop touring all together. Since Keith and myself are both in college and only have a few years left we elected that no touring would have to be the choice. Along with that, a few of us are happy with our positions at our jobs and tired of having to quit and find new jobs every few months after we get back from tour. Most of us have had the best times of our lives while on tour, but some times it gets to the point that you need to make a decision to dedicate yourself to one thing or the other. After this decision we also figured it would be best to just end the band. We’d much rather stop while we’re some what ahead rather than just fizzle out slowly.

For some of us, this has been our lives the last five years. We will all miss the good times, road trips and tours. But at the same time we couldn’t be happier with this band going far beyond what we had intended. A few of us will be starting a little less serious project while James is going on to play bass in Molotov Solution. We want to thank everyone who was involved with Moria at one point or another. Passed members, Ruben, Jaeson, Tim and Steve, along with Jesse from The Wrath and Brandon Abhorrence for filling in at various times. Also Zack Cepin for getting us our first few shows along with Jason and Charlie for keeping the Salinas scene going and booking shows. Joel and Matt at Process Records for putting out our only release and always being there to support and help. All of our families for supporting all of our hopes and dreams of this band. Without their support Moria would have gone no where. We have a few last shows leading up to our final show in Salinas on June 28th, if you live anywhere close to these areas come and hang out with us one last time! We’ll have a limited amount of merch and cd’s at these shows, so come and buy some stuff cause it’ll be your last chance. Thanks again everyone!
