BATTLELORE Ends Five Year Hiatus With Return Performance At Metal Female Voices Festival 2016 (Video)

Finland's Battlelore returned from the Grey Havens after a five year hiatus, performing their first show since 2011at the Metal Female Voices Fest in Wieze, Belgium on October 22nd. Back in 2011 they announced on the same stage the band was taking an indefinite break.

Fan-filmed video of Battlelore's  return performance can be viewed below.

Battlelore went on hiatus in October 2011. They issued the following statement at the time:

"Battlelore played their – for the time being – last show abroad in Belgium, at Metal Female Voices Festival IX, on Friday October 21st 2011. After that the band is going on an indefinite break from touring and making music. This is not the end, however, just a time-out to focus on other aspects of life and build up more creative energy for the future. The plan is to play one more show in Finland before the break to thank the Finnish fans for their support over the years. The details of the last show are not confirmed yet but will be announced as soon as the information comes.

There’s no drama behind the decision to go on break, just a need to take a step back and have a breather. We want to thank all of our associates and supporters for the help and work over the past nearly 12 years, we’ve been lucky to have met and worked with such wonderful people! The biggest thanks definitely go to our amazing fans, without whom none of this would’ve been possible. We are honoured to have met you all and are humbled by your generosity and support! You all have a place in our hearts and we will always cherish the amazing moments we’ve shared with you on and off stage.

Elen síla lúmenn’ omentielvo. (A star shines on the hour of our meeting.)"
