MeteoroiD Announce Disbandment

MeteoroiD have updated their English and Japanese websites with news that they will be disbanding after their show at Shibuya REX on February 11, 2017. They thank fans for supporting them thus far, but say that the "balance that [they] had perfectly preserved began to crumble." As a result, they decided to finish things while they were still "shining the brightest at this moment." They will disband on the exact anniversary of their formation. As a result of the decision, the band will not release a new mini album titled "83" as previously announced. They apologize for the sudden announcement. Individual member statements are translated on the English OHP.
