CATTLE DECAPITATION, CEPHALIC CARNAGE, WITHERED Drop Off 'Blackenedfest' Tour

June 10, 2009

CATTLE DECAPITATION, CEPHALIC CARNAGE and WITHERED have all reportedly pulled out of the remaining dates on the Blackenedfest tour. The headlining act, Norwegian black metallers MAYHEM, will apparently complete the trek on its own.

A full report on the circumstances that led to the other bands leaving the tour can be found on the Metal Injection web site.

Swedish black metallers MARDUK, who were also supposed to take part in Blackenedfest, were forced to cancel their participation in the trek after singer Mortuus' visa was not processed in time for the tour.

MAYHEM recently announced the addition of French guitarist Silmaeth (ex-VORKREIST) to the group's touring lineup.

MAYHEM's current live formation is as follows:

Attila Csihar: Vocals
Necrobutcher (a.k.a. Jørn Stubberud): Bass
Hellhammer (a.k.a. Jan Axel Blomberg): Drums
Morfeus (a.k.a. Krister Dreyer): Guitar
Silmaeth: Guitar
