June 22nd, 2009

As many of you may know and many more don’t, Ron Ostlund, co founder of Cessation Of Life has retired from the drum kit. We want to thank him for all the great work and the volume of music he helped us create. He remains a great friend of ours and we speak often. He is off to pursue other interests in life and we wish him the very best.

To say this as completely as we can, CESSATION OF LIFE is not finished. On the contrary, we are working on new music for later release in 2009, we are working with a new drummer (TBA) and will be performing August 14th, 2009 at the Key Club (main stage) in Hollywood California.

So keep your self strapped in tight. This ride is far from over!
