ARSIS Drops Off SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR

July 3, 2007

West Virginia's ARSIS has been forced to drop off the Summer Slaughter Tour while supporting its latest release, "United in Regret".

Commented ARSIS guitarist and vocalist James Malone: "Due to circumstances beyond our control, we've been forced to drop off the Summer Slaughter Tour. I do apologize to ALL the fans that missed seeing us.

"To make a long story short, everything was going great for us until we reached Sacramento, California. After that show, our van began to give us trouble — which surprised us since the van had just been in for repairs twice before the tour even started and we were sure the problem had been fixed. So we took the van in to the nearest dealership, were told the problem could be resolved in three days, and decided to wait in Sacramento until the van was fixed. It's now over two WEEKS LATER and the van STILL hasn't been repaired. Unfortunately, it's already too late for us to rent a vehicle. We've gone broke paying for hotels. Van rental fees and the cost of gas would have cost us a fortune to catch up to the tour. Please understand that we made the best decision we could with the information we were given. Unfortunately, it turns out we made the wrong decision."

Offers to assist with lodging, gas card gift donation pledges, and general well-wishes for the band can be left at www.myspace.com/arsis.
