"It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that The Odious will be going on hiatus. This upcoming show with Ænimus will be our last for the foreseeable future. I want to thank all of the wonderful people who have supported us throughout the years; our families, our die-hard fans both local and international, and our fellow bands who have shown us nothing but love and respect. Lets make this last show one for the history books!! Once again, thank you, and mark my words... WE WILL BE BACK. - much love, spenny, The Odious"
