Hiatus
Biographie
Hiatus is a hardcore punk (crust) band from Liège, Belgium.
Formed in May 1989, at this time the line-up was Phill, Ben, Raf and Phil. They played in a Doom/Discharge/ENT style and recorded two demos. Soon after Willy joined them on bass.
A first 7" was recorded ("i don't easily scared but..."). Phill and Raf left the band then Azill joined as guitarist. Several 7" (among others "way of doom" and a spilt with Doom) were released and they toured the United States and Canada in 1991.
Willy left the bass and became the main singer so the band recruited an additional member : Fredalabass (future Starflam member) on the bass.
In 1993, the first LP "from resignation...to revolt" is released. Hiatus tours intensively through Europe with bands like No security, Svart Snö, Mushroom attack/Fleas and Lice, Six feet over...
Meanwhile, Fred quits the band and Jonas becomes the new bass player.
A second album "El sueño de la razón produce monstruos" is released in 1995. Hiatus tours the United States and Canada for the second time with american crusties State of fear. In 1996, a mini LP commonly called "the brain" is released with elements of modern hardcore added to their crust punk sound. Hiatus split up in 1997, end of the fisrt era.
After a hiatus of 12 years, Willy, Phil, Ben and Azill did three reunion gigs in 2009 (in Liège, Lille and London) with Chris (Health Hazard/Doom) on the bass.
On hiatus again, they eventually reunite again in 2019 with this time Sam (Werly/Suitside vs vedaplight) on bass. With this line-up, they release a new album in 2022 called "out of hand" on ruin nation records (D).
Fall of 2023, Sam leaves the band and Paskk (ex-Collapsed) join the band as new bass player.
Historical singer Willy passes away in 2024 but following his wish "the show must go on", the band survives without him sharing vocals between the remainig members. This new 4 pieces band version record a mini LP called "realm of nightmares" in 2025 which is released on Agipunk (I) and Archaic records (US) in 2026. Another mini LP comes out "sanctus propaganda sessions vol.6" (PL) which is a sort of re-recording compilation with the current line-up (only available on vinyl), a benefit for local association helping homeless people with or without papers.
