ARSIS DROP OFF (remainder of) SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR

 SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR UPDATE: Bad news for ARSIS fans. We all know that ARSIS are stranded in California, as the bands touring van broke down near Sacramento. The worst case scenario is confirmed, ARSIS have dropped off the remainder of the SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR (now in it's last week) as it is NOT economically feasible to continue on without transportation. Tough break for ARSIS, whom are a great melodic tech/death metal band btw. Catch ARSIS on tour (in the USA) with ENSLAVED later this year in November and December.

FROM ARSIS:

“Due to circumstances beyond our control, we’ve been forced to drop off the Summer Slaughter Tour. I do apologize to ALL the fans that missed seeing us. To make a long story short, everything was going great for us until we reached Sacramento, California. After that show, our van began to give us trouble - which surprised us since the van had just been in for repairs twice before the tour even started and we were sure the problem had been fixed. So we took the van in to the nearest dealership, were told the problem could be resolved in 3 days, and decided to wait in Sacramento until the van was fixed. It’s now over 2 WEEKS LATER and the van STILL hasn’t been repaired. Unfortunately, it’s already too late for us to rent a vehicle. We’ve gone broke paying for hotels. Van rental fees + the cost of gas would have cost us a fortune to catch up to the tour. Please understand that we made the best decision we could with the information we were given. Unfortunately, it turns out we made the wrong decision.”
Offers to assist with lodging, gas card gift donation pledges, and general well-wishes for the band can be left here.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal, BBL with more \m/ -l-
