Sons of Huns Announce Indefinite Hiatus

As of this post, there’s been no official word from the band directly on the subject, but it appears that Portland, Oregon, heavy rockers Sons of Huns are calling it quits, at least for the time being. An upcoming European tour that included a slot at Freak Valley 2016 has been nixed, and while they have a show next Friday, March 4, at The Know in Portland with Cloud Catcher and Pushy, they’ve apparently set March 28 as the end of their tenure — again, at least for now.

One never wants to say never in these situations, because six months or four years from now who knows what might come, but even if their exit is temporary, Sons of Huns make it at the sacrifice of considerable momentum. While also sharing guitarist/vocalist Pete Hughes with Danava, the band — Hughes, Aaron Powell on bass/vocals and Ryan Northrop on drums — made a stir in their own right, their second album, While Sleeping Stay Awake (review here), having landed from RidingEasy Records as one of 2015’s highlight riffers and a worthy follow-up to their 2013 debut, Banishment Ritual. Even in the crowded Pacific Northwest, Sons of Huns seemed able to reach an audience.

Cool band, glad I got to see them. Their final offering was made last month in the form of a collaboration beer/single with Gigantic Brewing called Kiss the Goat (posted here), and Freak Valley festival posted the announcement from the band:

Sons of Huns canceled their European tour including the show @ FVF. Here’s their official statement:

“Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, Sons of Huns has to cancel their European Tour for May 2016. We are truly sorry to our fans and folks counting on us being there. We hope to make it up to you one day. Thank you for understanding. There’s been some items of business that we’ve had to figure out as a band, and it has caused us to go on indefinite hiatus after March 28th, 2016.”
