Reamon and Mark leave HEIDEVOLK

Image
Sad news for all the fans, Reamon (guitars) and Mark (vocals) have taken the decision to leave their band HEIDEVOLK , after 12 years inside.  Their statements: Reamon: "After twelve fantastic years I am announcing my departure from Heidevolk. I would like to express my gratitude to the fans around the world for all their support over the years: you are amazing. I would also like to thank the Heidevolk members and crew (past and present): it has been a honour working and partying with you. I am proud of what we have achieved over the years. This is an extremely difficult decision for me to make, but the last year my heart hasn’t been in it 100% anymore. I strongly believe that when you’re part of a band you have to give it 100% or don’t do it at all. What will the future have in store? I’ve been working on a project for a while now. It’s going to be heavy and manly as f*ck! I’ll keep you posted about that. Thank you all. I am going to miss your fantastic response during
