FUNERAL : ANDERS EEK SUFFERS HEART ATTACK ABSU: ABSU Forced To Cancel Chaos In Tejas Performance; Proscriptor Goes Under The Blade Just Hours After MDF Set

Norwegian funeral doom legends FUNERAL have sadly announced drummer ANDERS EEK has suffered a heart attack.

FROM FUNERAL:
 "We're sorry to inform you that Anders suffered from a heart attack today. Luckily, he's still alive and kicking, and from the circumstances, he's doing well. Playing in Funeral is apparently a dangerous thing to do! More info to come."

Tragedy already struck Funeral twice, with the death of Einar Fredriksen in 2003 and Christian Loos in 2006. Fortunately, this time it wasn't fatal.

In other news,  ABSU have cancelled out of the bands scheduled appearance at CHOAS IN TEJAS, set to take place 5/31- 6/3/2012 at RED 7, Austin, Texas . ABSU drummer/vocalist "Proscriptor" was just discharged from the hospital (after MARYLAND DEATH FEST 2012, Baltimore, MARYLAND) after multiple surgeries regarding a knee infection.

FROM EARSLPIT PR:
Mythological occult metal artisans ABSU regretfully announce the cancellation of their set at this weekend’s Chaos In Tejas festivities, where they were confirmed to headline the show at Red 7 this Saturday with support from Terrorism, Loss, Morbosidad, Ares Kingdom and Black Witchery.
Immediately following their bludgeoning performance at the opening night of this year’s sweltering installment of Maryland Deathfest this past Thursday night, ABSU drummer/vocalist Proscriptor had to rush back to Texas due to a knee infection. Following two instantaneous surgeries, Proscriptor will be in good health and back to 110% efficiency by the mid portion of June, but not in time to perform as scheduled on Saturday night.
This cancellation is disheartening to the band for the moment, as they were fully planning on leveling all in earshot at the performance this weekend; however, this procedure will now ensure that the band will be fully operational for the previously mentioned forthcoming ABSU live assaults throughout North and South America, which are being confirmed now to be announced in the weeks just ahead. Stay tuned to be inundated with new information on said events.
