Cult of Luna going on hiatus

Swedish post-metal septet Cult of Luna have announced they'll be going on hiatus, stressing that they are not breaking up.

"We are not quitting," reads a statement from the band, who released latest album 'Vertikal' earlier this year.

"2013 have been a very active year for us and neither do we want or think it is good to continue in that pace. We will not be a band that put out an album every 18-24 month anymore. We did that for almost 10 years when we were younger and were able to focus more on the music. After 'Beyond the Redshift' we might do a festival or two but after that we have nothing planned. Maybe we'll release another album next year or maybe in a decade, we honestly don't know.
Sooner or later we will return in one form or another. Cult of Luna will not die."
