We are very sorry about any problems that this might be causing you and thank you for giving MISERY INDEX and ORIGIN the chance to prove that they are well worthy of taking on our position as the headliner for these dates."

The affected dates are as follows:

Feb. 08 - Trier, GER @ Exhaus
Feb. 09 - Rotterdam, NL @ Baroeg
Feb. 10 - Essen, GER @ Turock, Essen Death Fest
