Report for Lifelover

Hi guys, I want to point out something that I noticed on their note and it's not entirely true. In the notes there is written:

"Lifelover's last concert was performed in Rotterdam on September 11, 2011 in B's memory, two days after his passing. The band was planning on playing another show on October 14, 2011, dedicated to B, but later decided against it, laying the band to rest out of respect to him since he was "the main composer" in the band."

Actually, this is not true because Lifelover played ONE LAST SHOW on 15th (not the 14th) of October, 2011 at the Black Lake Fest IV, in Lipomo (Como), Italy. In this festival played Abaton from Italy, Hypothermia and Lifelover. I personally was at the show and I can confirm that Lifelover played after the Hypothermia set! In this concert Lifelover played the tribute to Jonas Bergqvist (B) and played something like a "medley" of some of their songs. It was a strange and very touching show, with all the band visibly sad for the departure of their friend. But it was Lifelover playing Lifelover songs. I don't know what the band think about this show, but the concert happened. Maybe can be pointed out in the notes.


Source/Evidence:
Many Italian Metal websites still have infos about the show:

I just found this on one of the previous Reports:

"After these concerts, the band had planned on playing one more show on October 14, 2011 dedicated to B, but later decided against it, laying the band to rest out of respect to him."

This seems evidence enough they broke up.

That's very weird, because even if on the Official Facebook page thay stated that the didn't the show on 14th of October, actually they played the day after at the forementioned Fest, I've seen them with my eyes. Probably they don't consider it as a Lifelover show, but all the band was there and they played in grief...

Interestingly enough there are concert photographs of Lifelover of that concert on October 14th though.

Yes, not only they played that show in Germany on 14th of October, but they also played the final show the day after in Lipomo (Como), with Hypothermia as supporting act! Unfortunately I don't have pics from the show, but I was there!
