NECROPHAGIST: Canadian Dates Cancelled

March 3, 2006

German death metal band NECROPHAGIST have cancelled several dates on their previously announced Canadian trek because of a conflict with the tour producer. The band's statement on the matter reads as follows:

"The 'tour producer' who originally set up dates for the band turned out to be a rip-off. His method of booking is totally unethical and leaves the band getting totally screwed. The producer was doing two shows himself in Montreal and Quebec City. He was given the option to keep the shows as is every promoter who has a date scheduled. As you can see from the Ottawa show that is still scheduled at the original club, we have no intentions of cancelling all of our Canadian dates. We are very excited to play Canada and look forward to seeing all of you guys soon! However, the following cities will definitely be played: Toronto, ON; Montreal, QC; Ottawa, ON; and Quebec City, QC."

NECROPHAGIST will play their first-ever U.S. headlining tour starting April 28 at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. The tour will run through May 31 in Philadelphia. The band will be playing with new guitarist Sami Raatikainen (CODEON),who replaced Christian Muenzner. The former axeman departed in early February due to "scheduling conflicts." The group's most recent record, "Epitaph", came out in 2004.
