PEGAZUS Forced To Postpone Tour

April 6, 2011

Due to circumstances beyond the band's control, Australian metallers PEGAZUS have been forced to postpone their previously announced "In Metal We Trust" tour until later in the year.

Commented guitarist and founding member Johnny Stoj: "Recently, we were hit with some unexpected situations which were unfortunately out of our hands.

"We feel very disappointed that the band won't be in Europe for this summer as planned for our club shows tour and festivals appearances. Now we have to wait a few more months before we can hit the European stages and do what we love to do best! The great news is that PEGAZUS will be touring the world later in the year for our 'In Metal We Trust' tour. See you all out on the road soon!!!"

An audio sample of PEGAZUS' cover version of the JUDAS PRIEST classic "Metal Gods" can be streamed below.
