"Time to say goodbye": Metalium is planning to split and stop all activities in 2011!
All musicians are meanwhile involved in many other activities (private as well as music-wise) and after nearly 13 years with 9 cd's and 2 dvds, the chapters will come to an end in 2011. The bandmembers share a deep friendship underneath and want to say thanks to our longtime label Massacre Records,and all fans & supporters around the world who kept the flame burning since the band's beginning in 1998.
The 5-piece group will play some farewell shows which will be multitrack-recorded for a final Live-CD which comes together with 4-5 new studio songs we will record end 2010. This final output with the live cd and new studio songs will be completed with some rare photos and further footage and released over Massacre records in 2011.
The first part of the farewell tour will take place in Spain at following dates, Henning, Matthias, Tolo, Michael and Lars are looking forward to have a killer Metal-party with you one last time!!!

The title of the NEW Metalium will be “Nothing To Undo – Chapter VI”
It’s an unusual “realistic” and “direct" title for a METALIUM album but it fits the best to express the meaning of the lyrics.
The lyrical themes are about the deepest innerside of a human being…. Lies, betrayal, false friends… but also about honour, loyalty and blind understanding.
In general the most direct and dramatic lyrics of Metalium so far and more related to reality than the other chapters.
Once more the lyrics were written by Lars and Michael and we feel that we are getting more and more closer with our style of writing, eventhough both writers kept definitely their own style as always._______________________________________
While the recordings for CHPT VI are still going on, here is a list of the songtitles :
When Death Calls
Dare to fly
When the sky comes down
Setting Spirits free
On My Way
Hellfire
Straight out of hell
Never Die
Straight out
Straight to hell
Mindless
Mental Blindness
Follow The Sign
Roast for your rotten lies
...cover from Queen...
The order of the songs might change later on._______________________________________
New tourdates for Spain added !!!

Metalium is finishing up on the writings for Chpt VI , vocals are planned to be done in August. The theme of the new album will be very dark so Mr Ratz says and the release is planned for early 2007. More detailed news will follow ....
