BLEED THE SKY's Trailer With Equipment Stolen; Band Seeks Public's Assistance

While on tour with AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE, BLEED THE SKY had their trailer with all of our equipment stolen from a residence in Mableton (suburb of Atlanta) Georgia the night of November 13, or the early morning of November 14. They were scheduled to play shows through the end of this month.

The band has issued the following statement:

"We're in a rough spot and we're asking for help from anyone that can identify with where we're at. The support we’ve experienced so far from friends, family, fans, other bands, sponsors and within our record label etc. has been great, which we're eternally grateful for.

"As a message to our fans, be sure that this will in no way keep us from doing what we have been doing, we've built this band in the face of adversity, and rebuilding from what we lost will only make us stronger than we we're before."

The band is scheduled to begin a European tour with HATEBREED on December 2 in support of their debut album, "Paradigm in Entropy", on Nuclear Blast Records, and is asking for any information or help in leading to the recovery of their stolen equipment. The dollar value lost is estimated to be around $25,000 to $30,000. BLEED THE SKY are also accepting donations via PayPal and mail from their website at www.bleedthesky.com.

The band will be doing two or threee local shows (Southern California) before they leave to Europe to raise money. These dates will be announced within the next two days.
