(Classic Rock) Crucified Barbara have announced they've broken up. The Swedish outfit formed in 1998 and issued four albums, their last being 2014's In The Red. But they report that they've decided to call it a day, and have thanked fans for their support over the years.

Mia Coldheart, Klara Force, Ida Evileye and Nicki Wicked say in a statement: "Today we are sad to say that a long journey has come to an end. Crucified Barbara were our dream and you all made it come true.
