In what is obviously sad news for the weekend, Kalidia have officially announced that they are no longer active.
A statement posted by frontwoman Nicoletta Rosellini on her Facebook profile reads:
Dear friends,
It’s with heavy heart that we announce that we’ve disbanded, for the good of all the people involved.
Unfortunately during the latest years, our vision on the future of the band strayed away: we tried our best to make it work anyway, but we now understand that it’s better for everyone to take different paths, without forcing anyone to do things they don’t want to.
It was such a long and, most of the time, joyful adventure and we would like to thank you all for the unconditional support and love you showed us in these 12 years. The music and the good memories remain forever.
Take care and hopefully our paths will cross again – the band members are already working on new exciting music projects!
On a happier note, Rosellini also updated us on her future plans in a subsequent video released on her YouTube channel. In the video, she details how herself and Dario Gozzi (drummer of Kalidia), together with Paolo Campitelli and some other as yet unnamed members, have formed an entirely new band and have already recorded a new album in the same genre.
