“It is with sadness we announce that The Rattlesnakes are taking a hiatus,” reads a statement from Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes issued today. With MetalTalk reporting a ferociously animated set at Download Festival 2024 and the band Hellfest appearance showing that with potentially massive crossover appeal, there is no reason why Frank Carter will not be filling stadiums within the next five years, this has come as a shock to many.
“Nine years, five albums, hundreds of stages shared all over the world and our songs sung with each and every one of you,” the statement read. “It is with sadness we announce that The Rattlesnakes are taking a hiatus.
“From the deepest lows to highest highs, in grief in anger and in joy, our band has been a celebration of being alive no matter the circumstances.
“We want to send our love and thanks to the band – Gareth, Tank, Elliot & Mitch. It’s been a privilege to share the stage with some of the best musicians we know.
“So please join us all in celebration of the songs that changed our lives. Our UK and European Tour will go ahead, and we look forward to seeing you all on the dancefloor. Frank & Dean.”
Their recent release Dark Rainbow, which landed their fourth UK Top 10 album, now looks like the last chance to hear the band in the studio and their upcoming tour seems certain to be your last chance to catch them together on stage and on tour.
