9GOATS BLACK OUT will be releasing a new single called 「Karte」. There details are very limited, but they did say that it is a three-track single. One track is called “any” and another is called “nude”, the third track is not known yet. The single will be released on 2/14/12.

2/14 is Valentine’s Day! I wonder if they deliberately chose the release date to be on Valentine’s Day. Maybe it has to do with the third track? We’ll see!

9GOATS BLACK OUT, who had been on an indefinite hiatus since April, have announced that they will resume activities in 2011, opening the new year with a series of oneman lives in January! As of yet, only three dates have been announced on the “Melancholy pool” tour, but fans are sure to be awash in relief, rather than melancholy, over the resumption in activities!

The April 26 hiatus announcement was soon followed by the revelation that support drummer aki (ex-GULLET) would be departing from the band. aki, who had performed with 9GOATS since the band’s inception, reflected fondly on his experience as a part of 9GOATS but admitted that, from the beginning, his involvement was meant to be short-lived. Still, while his departure may have been inevitable, it was nonetheless difficult for many fans, some of whom feared for the band’s future, to accept. Over the subsequent months the members continued to perform, individually in various sessions and, not-so-secretly, as a trio under the name “baphomet,” keeping their ties to the music scene strong. But the question of if and when 9GOATS would return remained unresolved.

…Until now! So let’s all celebrate 9GOATS BLACK OUT’s official return by diving head first into the “Melancholy pool” !

Saturday, January 8, 2011 @ Nagoya ell. FITS ALL
OPEN 17:30 / START 18:00
3,500円 (4,000円 at the door) + 1 drink ticket

Saturday, January 15, 2011 @ Osaka MUSE

The band has not decided when they will be making a return to the scene or in what formation, but will update their OHP as the occasion arises.

The following announcement was posted on the band’s OHP:

To everyone who supports us,

Thanks to you, we were able to safetly reach the end of our coupling tour, 「deep sleepers」. Thanks to everyone it was very productive and a well-completed tour. Thank you. With the central theme of “Heaven to Hell”, we plan to complete our tour with our oneman live, “the Orphee”, at Quattro on May 7th using the world that was depicted in our album, “TANATOS” which was released on March 24th.

After that, 9 GOATS BLACK OUT will be undergoing preparations for our next phase, and therefore for a short time, we will put a stop to our events and live activities, will obstain from putting out new releases and will become dormant. We have not yet decided when we will be restarting our activities. During our pause, our official site (9goats.net), online webdesk (webdesk@9goats.net) and offical shop (9GOATS BLACK MART) will reman open. Furthermore, we will be updating our OHP, mail magazine, zoisite-information and so forth with information about the member’s personal activities during our activity pause.

After our live, “the Orphe” at Quattro on May 7th, both the members and support members will be discussing the future of the band. As a result, it is currently possible that there will be a change in formation when we restart activities. In that case, our oneman live on May 7th at Shibuya Quattro, may very well be the last live with the current line-up, and we therefore wanted to share this news with everyone who has been supporting us in advance.

We received more support than we ever expcted for 9GOATS BLACK OUT, and we’ve been developing our activities as a speed we had never experienced before.

It’s been something that has been a great honour for us. Therefore, we have decided that we will briefly stop our progress so that we can pursue our stance on the activities we want to pursue, alter the direction that our work is taking, and above all, so that we can show our growth to everyone that has been supporting us.

When we further develop the concept that the band carries of “can we strongly strike the heart of however many people with the the work and the music that that sound and voice bring?” we will be able to announce the revival of our activities.

The world of “TANATOS” which is sewen like a net is in everybody’s grasp, and opening part of it, the world will come alive, and deeply touch our hearts.
With that kind of performance, we can close the passage of “Heaven to Hell”.
Please be sure not to miss our return.

Now as I’m sure most fans realize, a lot of the online stores will not ship overseas and you therefore have to use a shopping sevice, which is great if you want to get items, but does cost extra.  However, 9GOATS BLACK MARK has announced that they will do overseas orders!

You can find more details on ordering here (in English, too): http://9goats.net/pc/MAILORDER_OVERSEAS.htm

They have also opened their online store, “9GOATS BLACK MART” where fans can purchase goods via mail order. So far they have CDs, as well as artwork photosets and stickers available. If you’re interested in looking around to see what they have, check it out here: http://9goats.shop-pro.jp.
