I'm also super bummed about this. I was trying to figure out a way to see them in L.A. the other day but I couldn't get off work. They are by far my favorite band and Oceanic is my all time record. I was lucky enough to see them quite a few times over the years and they were great every time. I'll definitely miss them but I look forward to the other projects they work on. As long as Hydra Head keeps putting out awesome bands I'll be okay.
wow, surprised to hear about this. glad i was able to catch them once opening for mogwai. oceanic is such a great album, love panopticon too!
