FROM CARPATHIAN FOREST:
We are very sorry to have to announce that we will not be appearing at the Hell and Heaven Festival this weekend. This is a contractual matter and has nothing to do with the problems that the festival is having with the local authorities. We know many of our fans will be disappointed and we are also very disappointed not to be able to play, as it's something we have been looking forward to very much. We will do all we can to try and make it up to you, hopefully along with a South American tour at the same time in the future.

FROM COMBICHRIST:
After weeks of being told by the promoters of the Heaven & Hell festival in Mexico that dispite heavy government opposition a new venue was secured and that the show would definitely go on, we would like to let our fans know immediately that this is all bullshit and the show is canceled. We are not coming to Mexico and neither are any of the other bands as far as we know. We tried to make a special club show for you last minute because let's face it, our Mexican fans are some of our best! But unfortunately it is too short notice to make it happen. We will be back as soon as we can Mexico. And remember, WE LOVE YOU... NOW DIE! #combichrist

FROM HELL AND HEAVEN FEST 2014 PROMOTERS:
We ask for an apology to all fans by our silence, we also need that you understand that not easy is to move an event from 9 months of planning in a week. Now continue working to get a place and carry out the event.
We have long supported by various rulers; as you know, there are very strong forces that don't want to carrying out the event, therefore we can not disclose information not to impede the work.
We ask the fans and press to put the shirt H & H, just as they have been doing artists who expressed their support to the 100%, their agencies already sent to staff of advanced, which work at the biggest festivals in the world and not explained how it is that they have not given permission for this festival?If it is complying 100% with maximum international requirements.
 all bands willing to play where authorities suggest we be that suitable and comply with the requirements of security, since these festivals around the world, performed outdoors, huge terrain, and for more than 20 years with white balance.
All bands and the Committee of the H  H, ask you the authorities reflect this sad and disappointing case, so they provide security to citizens we deserve, in the same way that has given it to large political rallies, religious concentrations, large mass concerts in the Zócalo and other festivals that have been held in the city of Mexico and State of Mexico.
