Lay Down Rotten Laid To Rot

Bad news for Lay Down Rotten fans - the band is officially calling it a day, with Apostasy Records issuing the following statement:

"For nearly 16 years now, Lay Down Rotten has stood tall for energetic top-notch death metal. Their haunting live-shows at festivals like With Full Force, Rock Harz, Extremefest, Death Feast or Summer Breeze and their concerts alongside Cannibal Corpse, Bolt Thrower, Aborted a.o. always grabbed the audience by the balls."

Lay Down Rotten also had this to say: “After a very honest discussion, we all realized that the individual future plans from all band members differ too much from each other. Due to this, it doesn’t make sense to continue with the band. With a heavy heart, we decided to close the chapter LDR after nearly 16 years to move on to address ourselves to our new tasks. Needless to say, we will all stay active musicians and you’ll definitely hear from one or another again.

"We want to thank each and every one who backed us on our long road in the past. First and foremost we thank all the fans that pushed us to the maximum during our almost countless concerts.

"We are going to play all the shows that are already confirmed up until June to celebrate with you for the last time!! Thanks for your support! Lay Down Rotten laid to rot!!"
