GROAN split up?

It's our sad duty to announce that UK doom rock titans Groan have split up - At least in as far as the current line up is concerned. The supernova of rock conjoured up by The Riff Wizard in 2009 has imploded. Fear not, they left behind an album which is available now, and two new tracks for a split CD with Finnish rockers Vinum Sabbatum. These will be released later this year and will mark the end of the Groan phenomenon as we know it.

So tonight we give thanks to The Riff Wizard, Mazzareth, The Forest Dwelling Fuzz Creature and Thor's Hammer for the music and the fuzzy memories.

The Riff Wizard will continue with his band Purple Elf
The Forest Dwelling Fuzz Creature has just joined Pagan-folk group Beneath The Oak 
Mazzareth will contunue with his band Rattz Ass

If you never saw them live at any of the handful of shows they played , here is a taster of what you missed, and a reminder for those of us who did.
