CATHEDRAL Pulls Out Of HAMMER OF DOOM Festival -

UK doom legends CATHEDRAL have announced the band has pulled out of Germany's HAMMER OF DOOM FESTIVAL. The HAMMER OF DOOM FESTIVAL is set to take place October 28-29 at Posthalle in Würzburg, Germany.
FROM CATHEDRAL:
"Regrettably, CATHEDRAL will be withdrawing from their planned appearance at this year's Hammer Of Doom festival [set to take place October 28-29 at Posthalle in Würzburg, Germany). This is due to the use of animal blood as part of the stage show of one of the other bands on the bill. We do not condone nor endorse this type of activity, and in fact we are very much opposed to it.

"We would like to apologize sincerely to any of our fans who were expecting to see us at Hammer Of Doom, but we feel very strongly about this issue and therefore felt we had no alternative but to withdraw."
FROM HAMMER OF DOOM FEST ORGANIZERS:
We are right now negotiating with other great bands to finalize the billing.
