Giant Squid call it a day 2015-10-08 by Sevengill | 20 Comments | Post-metal band Giant Squid have announced an indefinite hiatus, citing family commitments and a waning desire to continue with the hardships of touring. Frontman Aaron Gregory posted a lengthy explanation of the circumstances surrounding the breakup, explaining that "there are NO plans to write another album or play another show again." He did, however, leave the door open for a reunion under the right circumstances, and announced plans for vinyl reissues, a music video, and new projects by the band's members.
Giant Squid have two final shows scheduled in San Diego (Oct. 16) and San Francisco (Oct. 17).
The full post can be read on the band's Facebook page.

| | | sweet
| | | Bad news
| | | NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
| | | Aw man, that sucks haaaard. I'm just pleased they've left behind such a great discography for us all. Gonna go jam The Ichthyologist now.
| | | Bummer, I remember the buzz they made in 2011 with the Cenotes EP.
| | | rip giant squid lol
| | | Will jam The Ichthyologist in memoriam.
| | | The Ichthyologist is probably my favorite album of all time, though Leviathan and Oceanic are right there, too.
| | | This is is too bad but not that surprising really. They only played like 15-20 shows a year as it was. They have some amazing material, although Minoans was somewhat lackluster.
| | | damn they were pretty good
| | | :/ Always thought this band was a breath of fresh air in metal. At least they're leaving the door open?
| | | Never got to see them live. Bullshit.
| | | thats sad
| | | Pity
| | | Shiiiiiiiiitty
| | | terrible band anyway
| | | never got into them
| | | I guess they're calling it squids?
| | | ^goddamn you.
