ENTOMBED were forced to drop off their upcoming US tour with DISMEMBER and GRAVE.  Here’s a statement directly from the band:

“Due to circumstances beyond our control, ENTOMBED sadly has had to postpone their upcoming USA West Coast trek.

“We were very much looking forward to this tour, but conflicts with the promotor, breach of trust and straight-up lies have unfortunately forced us to cancel at the eleventh hour. Never in 15 years of touring the States has this happened, which really is saying something. We are appalled, and you should not be surprised if you see/hear more lies spread about how it is ENTOMBED’s fault that we could not do the tour because we changed our minds or some shit like that. Simply not true. We’ve never seen blame passed around like this ever before and deeply regret having lent our name to this madness.

“We abominally want to apologise to good folks like Dinis of THE MIGHTY NIMBUS, who have taken time off work and rented a car to come see the show, but look forward to hitting American shores in 2007, hot on the heels of our upcoming studio album release, ‘Serpent Saints’.”
