IN FLAMES Comments On Milan Concert Cancellation

July 12, 2008

Swedish metallers IN FLAMES have issued the following update:

"Unfortunately tonight's (July 12) show at the Evolution festival in Italy was cancelled. [As BLABBERMOUTH.NETreported earlier today.—Ed] The cancellation was due to extreme rain and bad weather. The main reason for us having to cancel the show was that the rain found it’s way on to the stage shutting the monitor mixing desk down and also making it extremely dangerous to perform for the band and the crew. As we all know, water and electricity and don't mix well together…

"We are VERY sorry for having to cancel this show. We were really looking forward to play tonight but as you hopefully understand it is beyond out control.

"We'll be back in Italy on October 21st — Milano at Alcatraz so hope to see you all there!

"Again, our sincere apologies for having to cancel tonight's show!"

IN FLAMES will embark on a European headlining tour in October. Support on the trek will come from SONIC SYNDICATE and GOJIRA.

IN FLAMES's new album, "A Sense of Purpose", shifted 20,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release. This is slightly less than the opening tally of "Come Clarity" (Ferret),which sold just under 24,000 copies in February 2006 to debut at position No. 58.
