LEAVES' EYES, ATROCITY Explain MANDRAGORA'S FEST Cancellation

March 4, 2008

LEAVES' EYES and ATROCITY have issued the following joint statement regarding the cancellation of their appearance at this past weekend's Mandragora's Fest in Mexico:

"Last Saturday [March 1] LEAVES' EYES and ATROCITY were forced to cancel Mandragora's Fest in Mexico due to major technical problems and power issues that were out of the band's control. When ATROCITY prepared to enter the stage around 1 am to perform their set at Mandragora's Fest, suddenly the whole power of the stage, lights and PA was gone and people were left in darkness for almost one hour. The audience was left confused and started throwing missiles and chanted profanities directed to the stage. When the power was finally restored the whole equipment was not functioning correctly anymore and both bands had to regretfully announce that they were not able to play the shows. Both LEAVES' EYES and ATROCITY would like to sincerely appologize to the fans who came to see the shows for not being able to perform and they promise to return to Mexico as soon as possible!"

LEAVES' EYES recently announced that its stage set for the group's upcoming appearance at this year's installment of the Wacken Open Air festival — scheduled to place July 31 - August 2, 2008 in Wacken, Germany — will include the Viking ship designed by the group's tech Leebee. The ship was previously for the band's concert on October 20, 2007 at the Metal Female Voices Fest in Wieze, Belgium. That show was filmed for a DVD, due later in the year.

As previously reported, LEAVES' EYES has been confirmed as the "special guest" at the DORO anniversary show, "25 Years in Rock", at the ISS Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany on December 13, 2008.
