Maryland Deathfest VIII

[Brian]

MOTHERFUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

Sodom has the NYC and CA dates cancelled on Ticketmaster and the MDF show isn't on their myspace

[donkeytron]

It's official. Sodom is off MDF. More info to come.

[Metalfreak]

That fucking sucks!

[Psychoplasm]

I can't fucking believe it.
I hope they can some how make it. Or it's a terrible joke.

[Generubin]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, they better replace them with someone who is of equal worth.

[livmons]

FUCKING SHIT PISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO UPSET.

[donkeytron]

From the sounds of the statement from the promoters...not really expecting a replacement. Quoted as follows...

"We just found out that it is true after reading internet rumors and noticing that other US dates have been cancelled as well, so we contacted their representative. We still don't know exactly how to word the reason for the cancellation, and we're trying to get to the bottom of it. This is truly the LAST possible thing we'd like to deal with ONE WEEK before the festival, but rather than dwell on it, we have over 60 other bands to welcome to MDF next weekend, and that's where our main focus needs to be. An official statement will be announced as soon as we know what can be stated."

"The plan is to give Autopsy and Asphyx longer sets" --RyanMDF

Yes for Autopsy having a longer set. Still upset about Sodom though.

[livmons]

"Due to solid problems with our local tour promoter and getting our Visa in time, we are forced to cancel the upcoming shows. We already had our suitcases packed and were ready to go. We are awfully sorry to take these steps, but everybody acquainted with the entering provisions of the USA knows what we're talking about. We are deeply disappointed by this situation, but in the end there's the awareness, that not everything is done to our entire satisfaction. We are "only" the musicians, who would have loved to rock the USA again. We owe this to our fans, even more because we made ourselves scarce in the US since the foundation of this band, of course through no fault of our own. The one who botched this up will have to be confronted with the local organizers and club owners and account for his faults. We surely will catch up on these shows as soon as possible, which we especially owe to our fans. In the end, this set of problems redounds upon us, because we're in the front line and have to be answerable to our fans. I hope we didn't lose too many fans due to this mess, but all people who know us are aware of the fact, that we would do anything for our fans. The risk of being forbidden to enter the USA for 10 years or even getting arrested is too high. We hope for your understanding and keep you informed about the latest facts.

Sodom"

Poop on the US border customs shit.

[ratanda]

Of course, the main band I wanted to see cancels.

[Acidic Consumption]

alot of bands cancelled...next weekend needs to hurry the fuck up before more bands cancell. really looking forward to Autopsy,Gorguts,Asphyx,Entombed and of course Obituary.

[Knucklehead]

Some of this may be visa issues, some of it may related to Iceland -- I hear the volcano is acting up again.

Good luck to all who are going.

[Generubin]

If Iceland can't control their volcano they shouldn't be aloud to have one.

[Knucklehead]

If Iceland can't control their volcano they shouldn't be aloud to have one.
