Hiatus

Hiatus refers to at least 2 artists:

1. Hiatus formed in May 1989.They played in a Doom/Discharge/E.N.T. style.Political D.I.Y band from belgium, that would become well known in the underground Hardcore/Punk scene of that time. Technically good for the kind of music they made, they were one of the ensigns of crust-core in early 90's. Hiatus would later redefine their sound completely on their final release, and finest work, "The Brain" as they grew sick of the songs they had constantly toured. The music moved up a notch, Willy's vocals become more powerful and with more anger/conviction than the tired Doom-style vocals for which he was known (Willy had actually filled in for the band Doom in the past! No surprise there!) They released albums under several D.I.Y labels such as Skuld Releases, Profane Existence, Nabate, Urban alert, Mother peace Rec. and Sound polution (It is needed to confirm for this article if they released an album with Don't Belong rcs,spain).Disbanded in mid 90's, some of the members would later form a band called Unhinged.

2. Cyrus Shahrad began recording as Hiatus in 2003, when an American friend mailed him a copy of Reason and the necessary gadgets to run instruments directly into his computer. The following twelve months saw the independent release of three EPs – each individual CD burned in iTunes, tagged with marker pen and posted by hand to friends, family and the occasional media flunky. Yet it wasn’t until Cyrus spent three months working as a journalist in Tehran that he came across the sound, not to mention many of the samples, that would ultimately inform the Twilight Kingdom LP. Tracks from the album have since have featured on numerous independent movies and snowboard flicks, and work has already begun on a collaborative project with lanky rootsman Smoke Feathers, whose vocals grace two of the tunes on Twilight Kingdom. When he’s not in his south London studio – a stone’s throw from the tree in which Blake saw his first angel – Cyrus writes for various magazines and newspapers on a range of subjects. He suffers from tinnitus, chrondromalacia, carpal tunnel syndrome and acute hypochondria.
