Finnish melodic thrashers Hevein are disbanding for a while. The band has posted the following sad news for fans on their official website: "Hevein have decided to disband indefinitely. The decision comes after many months of consideration but under the current circumstances it has become impossible to continue as a band."

"So, even though we came close to finishing our second album Gentle Anarchy it will sadly remain unfinished. We ended up with 4 completed songs (V, Spineless, Gentle Anarchy and Nor), 1 kick ass video (Nor) and edited drum tracks for 5 other songs (Terms of Abuse, The Bullsrun, A Damn Good Thrashing, Get Born Again and Mother Earth/Father Sun). We also have a few instrumental tracks ready for this album."

"We would personally love to thank the people (we call them 'the real fans') that purchased our material off our 'Bandcamp' site. The 125 purchases created a revenue of 542? that directly (but only partially) funded the recording of the drums for the 5 additional songs on Gentle Anarchy."

"Although this revenue was great appreciated it is grossly inadequate to continue let alone finish the record. We will continue to sell our music via Bandcamp and if, at some stage we receive enough revenue to continue recording, we will do so. There has been some talk of a possible 'final concert' in Helsinki, Finland. We have also been invited to play at a festival in Delhi, India in October. We are currently awaiting conformation of this obscure request. So comrades, we will see where things go from here."
