DEICIDE To Be Joined By DISSENTER Frontman For Remaining European Tour Dates

January 8, 2007

Massive Music, the organizers of DEICIDE's current European tour, have issued a statement explaining the reasons behind bassist/vocalist Glen Benton's absence from the trek and the status of the remainder of the tour. It reads as follows:

"On Friday (January 5) kicked off their European tour without frontman Glen Benton, who was forced to stay in the U.S. due to some family problems. The decision was actually made in the very last moment, when the band arrived in Europe. DEICIDE in agreement with Massive Music decided to not cancel the tour and Glen Benton consented to his replacement. Hope Glen will join the tour after solving his problems (all the best for him!) The more so because so far the tournee has been going great! First two gigs in Eindhoven and Nijmegen were sold out! During the first four gigs Seth [van Loo] (SEVERE TORTURE, NOX, CENTURION) is handling vocal duties. In Manchester [beginning on January 9] Garbaty 'Yaha' (from Polish death metal band DISSENTER) will join DEICIDE, taking care of bass and vocal duties as long as necessary. Every night DEICIDE is going to play a killer 75-minute live set (17 songs!). New merchandise featuring new t-shirts, longsleeves, zippers, girly, stickers from band's latest album 'Stench of Redemption' is available during the tour.

"Remember, DEICIDE, VISCERAL BLEEDING, PSYCROPTIC in cooperation with Massive Music are going to play this tour till the last gig. There's no plan to cancel any show, now it all depends on local promoters. Hope this situation won't lead to any cancellations!"
