Drummer of Japanese all-female power metal outfit Aldious has announced that she will be retiring from music to focus on her future.

The drummer, named Aruto stated that her impending marriage would make it impossible for her to continue with the band as her plans include moving away from the band’s hub of Tokyo. She joined the band in 2010 and released three albums before she decided to call it quits.

The band will continue though and a search for a new drummer has begun, and we look forward to hearing some new music from these rising starlets as they play some pretty sick power metal!
