Decibel Magazine: Emperor Magus Caligula Leaving Dark Funeral

Emperor Magus Caligula Leaving Dark Funeral

Posted July 28 by sarah.kitteringham

The good folks at Earsplit PR just sent us this message from Emperor Magus Caligula, vocalist for Swedish black metal act Dark Funeral:

“I would like to inform all of our fans that on Saturday, August 21, at the Summer Breeze festival in Germany, I will be doing my last show with the band. Naturally I have mixed feelings about this decision, but it is final! They say that every person will have about 15 minutes of fame during their life. Well, I have had a hell-of-a-ride for 15 years now together with Lord Ahriman and Dark Funeral. As some people love to spread weird rumors about others, let me make this clear once and for all. I have not committed suicide, I have not taken an overdose, nor are there any personal issues between me and Dark Funeral.

However, my life has taken a new turn lately, and I am also getting married this year, thus my priorities in life lie somewhere else. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our fans for their amazing support during all the 15 years I've been with the band. And I would also like to thank my brothers in Dark Funeral for all these years together. Lord Ahriman and I have managed to raise Dark Funeral from the deepest abyss, when we have confronted problems before. And there is no doubt in my mind, that Dark Funeral, without me, will raise once more, stronger than ever...

Thus I have spoken, thus shalt it be......

-- Horns up, Masse Broberg A.K.A Emperor Magus Caligula.”

This statement also serves as a search for a new vocalist, and the band is requesting audio/DVD files of vocal performances to vocalist@darkfuneral.se. Perhaps this kid should send in his samples.

Hey, if a band member wants to quit to commit himself to family life, then he should go right ahead. There are and will be lot of bands that act just the way you like it so be cool. \m/
