The Gates Of Slumber Call It Quits

Karl Simon of U.S. doom metal act The Gates of Slumber has posted the following message about the band calling it quits:

"Some of you may have noticed that Jason quit The Gates of Slumber this past week.

"So, yeah. it's done. I always said I'd never go on doing TGoS without Jason, I don't think anyone ever really believed it, but yeah, it's done. I did start the band, but McCash has been my best friend for the last 20 years, the last 10 in this damn band. He wrote amazing music and was a killer person to be around on the road.

"Somewhere about 3 years back shit started to change, and it's ended with him quitting. I'm sure he needs the break, probably from me... I'm starting to *kind of* get the hint.

"So yeah. It's done."
