KATAKLYSM Explain European Tour Cancellation

April 25, 2006

Canadian death metallers KATAKLYSM have issued a statement explaining their decision to pull out of the remaining dates on the BOLT THROWER European tour. It reads as follows:

"KATAKLYSM have been forced to cancel the remainder of the Euro tour with U.K. death metalers BOLT THROWER for reasons beyond the band's control that have to be dealt with back home. The band would like to add that they had a great time and the tour was a complete success and the strongest for KATAKLYSM ever. The band would like to thank CANNIBAL CORPSE and BOLT THROWER for the great opportunity to tour with these great bands. All the shows missed after Saarbrücken, Germany will be rescheduled in September as KATAKLYSM is planning their headlining tour for the fall in Europe. Also big apologies for the missed Helsinki show but I'm sure the fans will understand that when you board a flight that says Flight 666 To HEL (abbreviation for Helsinki) and get barely get there on time and lose all your guitars and equipement and luggages (still haven't found Maurizio's a week later!),it's hard to play the show. We will make it up as soon as we can! We will also post the ticket stub of that flight 'coz is a classic!!! All Metal Crusaders dates will not be affected by this in the States."

KATAKLYSM's "Metal Crusaders Tour 2006" with VADER, DESTRUCTION, GRAVEWORM, SPEED\KILL/HATE and THE ABSENCE will kick off on May 26 in Montreal, Quebec.
