Million Dead will split at the end of this month following their forthcoming UK tour. Their final show will be in Southampton on the 23rd.

The band are currently riding high with critical and public acclaim for their latest album Harmony No Harmony and will also release a download-only single To Whom It May Concern on the 19th September but have decided to draw a close to the band due to “irreconcilable differences”.

A statement from the band reads: “Million Dead are breaking up. After four years and two albums, we have mutually decided that this is best thing to do. Irreconcilable differences within the band mean that it would be impossible to continue, and anyway, we’d rather leave a good-looking corpse. Our reasons are personal and assured. Therefore, the upcoming September tour will be our last.

“We’d like to express our deep gratitude to those who worked with and for us over the years, who had faith in us, and without whom we would never have got anywhere. We’d also like to thank all those who bought records, came to shows, and generally gave a shit. We’re still pleasantly surprised that anyone ever did.

“You will no doubt be hearing from some or all of us again at some point in the future.”

The dates for the bands final tour are as follows. Support will come from the awesome Gay For Johnny Depp.
