EVERGREY Explain METALIST FESTIVAL Cancellation

August 25, 2004

Swedish progressive dark metallers EVERGREY have issued a statement explaining their decision to cancel their appearance at the second annual Metalist Festival, set to be held August 26, 2004 at the Hangar 11 venue in Tel-aviv, Israel. The statement reads as follows:

"We are very sad to inform our friends and fans in Israel that we not will be performing at the Metalist Festival.

"The entire band had been looking forward to this event and it sounded like a dream come true to see Israel.

"Unfortunately there has been a lot of practical problems, and when the flight tickets were booked for the wrong day, there was simply no way we could travel to Israel.

"Please understand that this was totally out of the band's control and that we would do nothing rather than come to this festival. We will do our best to come to Israel in the autumn or the winter instead.

"The festival has also promised that they would explain to all at the festival that this was an error from their side and that EVERGREY are not to blame. If this doesn't happen please let us know."
