First was this:

"Negura Bunget official statement

This has to be one of the most difficult messages to be written. We are sorry to announce that Hupogrammos and Sol Faur have ended their journey along Negura Bunget. Our paths are now apart. We wish them all the best on their new endeavors (their new project will be announced at a later time).
Meanwhile, a new Negura Bunget line-up is assembled, which will continue the path started almost 15 years ago. Rest assure, we are keen to prove there is more to be said by this band, and we will work to fulfill our spiritual endeavor relentlessly.
All Negura Bunget scheduled plans (concerts, festivals, contracts with Aural Music/Code666 Records and Prophecy Productions/Lupus Lounge) will be completed in the new formula. New website and myspace page are developed and will soon be online.

Negru, of behalf of Negura Bunget.

The new official Negura Bunget line-up is:
Corb - guitars/vocals
Spin - guitars
Gădineţ - bass
Inia Dinia - keyboards
Ageru Pamanatului - vocals/pipes/percussions/xylophone
Negru - drums/percussions

A word from Hupogrammos and Sol Faur: We would like to thank everybody who supported and believed in Negura Bunget and invite you to follow our further musical activities."

Which was shitty news in itself, because Hupogrammos and Sol Faur wrote pretty much all the music and lyrics. Then came this:

That is pretty shit. I've been looking forwards to a follow-up to Om for ages... hope things get sorted.

Heh, looks like whatever Hupogrammos and Sol Faur put out next will be the true follow up to Om.

Blimey. Wasn't expecting this.

Damn it.

eh. this is one of those circumstances where a band is crippled not dead. I wonder what theyll have to offer in the future

So it seems its not the end of the world. Whatever happens, it looks like the true creative spirit of the band will continue under either under the proper name, or another. Thats all that really matters for me. My only issue is how much longer until we see another album

Yeah, I agree. Everyone involved still plans to make more music so this doesn't have to be bad news.

I try to remain optimistic and hope for the best,who knows maybe down the road(i.e.years from now)we'll get a sort of spiritual successor to Om.By Zeus that album is phenomenal,I recall it really helped me get into the newer side of BM,which is how I like it.That and the songwriting is so entrancing,it still gives me chills just thinking about it.I used to own Call of Duty 4 multiplayer to that cd,hell even my girlfriend likes it.
