CATAMENIA: U.S. Tour Cancelled

October 20, 2007

Finnish melodic black metal act CATAMENIA has cancelled its previously announced U.S. tour which was scheduled to take place in November/December.

Commented the band's manager Tunci of Cebidelik Management And Booking Agency: "It is the hardest time after a long work and long discussions. And I am really sad to inform that we have recently had to cancel our USA tour after we spent months on it. The band and I, myself, are really disappointed now, since it is more than a dream to come true for both of us.

"What we have been trying is to make the best for CATAMENIA fans. The tour was totally not financial one and what we wanted to make a long tour and visit every single town for the fans. But as I said, I have failed to make it happen.

"We had started working on time and found a promoter. It went all well and we got the confirmation about the dates. Then it started to go worse. We have changed the line-up and promoter and dates for a few times. We thought it was best to post the tour in 2008. But some problems occured and we aren't left any choice except cancelling.

"As I said before, it was totally my failure. And I want to say sorry firstly CATA-guys, promoters, the bands we have involved for tour, club owners and last you, the fans...

"Currently we are looking forward to see what our next step would be... You will be informed as always...

"And last, I would like to thank again CATAMENIA for still believing in me...

CATAMENIA guitarist Riku Hopeakoski recently revealed to Metalhead.ro that he is currently working on material for the band's new album. The group is tentatively scheduled to enter Mastervox studio in Helsinki early next year to begin recording the effort for a late 2008 release.

CATAMENIA recently uploaded the "Cataventures Part III" video clip, the most recent in a series of clip chronicling the band's adventures touring through Europe. Watch it below. You can check out all three parts on the group's official web site.

CATAMENIA's latest album, "Location: COLD", was released in August 2006 via Massacre Records. The CD was recorded, mixed and mastered at Mastervox Studios by Kakke Vähäkuopus and Immu Ilmarinen. The cover artwork was created by Anthony Clarkson.
