Today, Asriel put out a pretty heartbreaking statement for all Blood Crushers the Band fans.

I don't wanna take away from it so I won't make too many comments.

He has yet to post the announcement on here but in the meantime I'll transcribe it for those who haven't read it:

"It's currently morning for me, since I've been up all night trying to think about how I'm going to say this.

To put it plainly: Blood Crushers the Band is on indefinite hiatus.

After we made Debris and went on tour, December had been continuously telling me she didn't want to do any of it anymore.

If you've listened to our albums you would know the situation with her family, specifically her relationship with her mother.

From young she was always held up to an impossible standard of being the absolute best at everything she did.

Baseball, hockey, violin, etc. etc. She hated all of it, but she had to do it.

I don't want to get into detail because it isn't my place to.

This perfectionist mindset bled into when she started playing guitar and singing. (no pun intended)

She would send me her early music and then delete it forever a few days afterward because she thought it was terrible. I wanted to save some of the songs she made but I always felt guilty whenever I did, so most of it is lost now.

As great as the music was, it was strained. I told her this many times and she said she was trying to loosen up but just couldn't because she wanted to sound impeccable.

That's why I suggested we start Blood Crushers, I wanted her to vent her frustrations without worrying about how she sounded.

I took over the production (for the most part, there was no way she would let me do everything on the backend.) so all she had to focus on was singing.

Shockingly, she also wanted to manage the band's public image. I pushed against this as much as I could but I never got through.

I don't have to tell you that Blood Crushers the Band was successful, because I wouldn't have to do this if that weren't true.

So successful, that after one of our shows in ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ December broke down and started talking about how even after she thought she escaped from what her mom had put her through going on tour had felt like the same grand performance. Nothing had changed from back then, even if she had thought BCTB was what she wanted to do.

This was in January, so there were fortunately not a lot of shows left for us to do. However, she was clearly very done with touring after that.

We talked about ending the band many times after the Debris tour, I always wanted BCTB to serve Dess instead of me or anybody else so hearing that it was actively making her life harder I didn't have a lot of say against discontinuing it.

The band functionally ended weeks ago and we were planning on writing a sign-off together, but she went missing before that could happen.

Working with her family to find and get in contact with her took up a lot of my time, so I apologize for the late arrival of this announcement.

This is the last thing she wanted me to do for Blood Crushers.

I won't be releasing anything from the second album out of respect for December.

Thank you for reading this and supporting us throughout it all, I'm sorry it had to be this way."

Please be respectful in the comments, I don't give a fuck what you have against Asriel, December, or BCTB as a collective. This is a very serious situation and there is absolutely no room to be dicking around.

UPDATE: Comments are locked. I'm incredibly disappointed in you all.
