This week Glucifer vocalist Biff Malibu and guitarist Raldo Useless decided to quit the band, feeling they no longer have the proper motivation to make an new album and go touring again.

Gluecifer have been one of the few Norwegian bands to enjoy such a successful international career. Doing this takes a lot of hard work, dedication and a serious amount of motivation.

Through the past decade, Gluecifer have had a busy touring schedule and a constant album release rate. Co-founder and guitarist Captain Poon stated:

\"To begin a whole new process of writing and recording, and all the touring that comes with, takes a lot of goodwill. You can’t pretend, it’s gotta be a 110% thing. If you lose that feeling, it makes no sense anymore. Breaking up is the only right decision, even though I’m truly sad about the matter. I think we released our best record so far in 2004, and hanging it up one year later makes no sense to me. But anyway, they lost that certain feeling, and there’s nothing we can do.”

The other members of Gluecifer were looking forward to start working on a new album in 2006. Unfortunately, without Biff and Raldo, the rest of the guys do not have the will to do it, so Gluecifer has officially broken up.

The band is currently deciding where to play their farewell show. Continues Poon:

\"These days we\'re trying to figure out what places we wanna pay a last visit. Some places are obvious, others will be based on demand. Even though there are different opinions about the decision being made, I\'m happy we\'re still good friends, so we go out there together, and play our last shows with our hearts on our sleeves.\"

Captain Poon, who formed Gluecifer together with Biff in 1994, and since then has devoted all his time to the band, says that he still has a lot to do in rock, and that he will continue his career in a new band.
