Progressive rock group Black Peaks have announced that they are splitting up. The Brighton four-piece, who released their last studio album ‘All That Divides’ in 2018, made the announcement this morning July 26.
The band released a statement on their social media that reads “The time has come to bring Black Peaks to its close,” the band’s statement begins. “Over the past four years, we have dealt with some incredibly hard and demanding situations which we have done our absolute best to work through. Unfortunately, we have reached a point where we don’t feel we can continue in a way that is healthy for us.”
Black Peaks then went on to thank all their fans “Thank you for being the greatest support network we could’ve ever hoped for. We have achieved things that we never thought would be possible when we began this journey. So, for supporting our vision, we owe you our utmost gratitude.
They then finished with “A special thank you to our team, who we believe to be some of the best in business. It has been our pleasure to learn from and grow with these wonderful humans over the last 10 years and we couldn’t have done it without them.”
