THREAT SIGNAL Forced To Pull Out Of (HED) P.E. European Tour

Canadian metallers THREAT SIGNAL have issued the following update:

"We sincerely regret to inform you that our 2010 European tour dates with (HED) P.E. and ATILLA have been officially cancelled. The tour will still go on; however, we will not be performing on it.

"We had worked very hard to make this tour even considerably possible, but due to financial difficulties we've had to abandon ship. We're back thousands more dollars than we originally expected, and we've been struggling ever since to find affordable means of transportation. We cannot justify or even find the amount of money needed to make this tour possible for us anymore.

"Our hearts are broken [as] this would have been THREAT SIGNAL's first European tour.

"On the upside, we've had an amazing North American run with EPICA and BLACKGUARD and are looking forward to confirmed dates in Canada.

"The more people that show their support locally will ultimately help us land these tours overseas. Even if you can't make it out to a show, you can show your THREAT SIGNAL support by purchasing some new merchandise at Kill The 8 online merch store, and music from iTunes and Amazon.

"Once again, we apologize a million times over and over to our friends and fans in Europe who expected us on the tour. We're currently working extremely hard with our agents and record label to find another tour in Europe before the year is over.

"We promise to make this up to those who were looking forward to seeing us live.

"Thank you so much for understanding our situation."

THREAT SIGNAL's video for the song "Severed" can be viewed below. Edited by vocalist Jon Howard, the clip features live and behind-the-scenes footage from the band's summer 2009 tour with SYBREED, THE AGONIST and THE AUTUMN OFFERING.

"Severed" comes off THREAT SIGNAL's sophomore album, "Vigilance", which sold around 1,100 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 32 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

Released in September 2009 via Nuclear Blast Records, the CD was produced by vocalist Jon Howard and mixed by Greg Reely (FEAR FACTORY, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY).

THREAT SIGNAL members Jon Howard and Pat Kavanagh (bass) are also involved with ARKAEA, the band featuring FEAR FACTORY members Raymond Herrera (drums) and Christian Olde Wolbers (guitar).
