FROM INCANTATION:
Our friends in Singapore need your help. WATAIN was supposed to play a few hours ago but a large number of Christians got together, protested via an online petition and managed to shut down the show.
We played in Singapore last year and had enjoyed the warm hospitality very much.
Please sign THIS petition to let the voices of Singaporean metalheads be heard: https://www.change.org/p/ministry-of-home-affairs-separate-…


FROM ASSAULT:



For friends who are concern about the Soilwork show in Singapore.

Here’s a post from the promoter STREET NOISE SG. The show is still on, ASSAULT is fully committed to perform on 29 October 2019.

FROM STREET NOISE HG:
On a serious note, we have newspapers, media, magazines calling us from 5pm today. Just hung up 5 mins ago ... so "Soilwork how?" everyone wants to know.

So here's how. Soilwork is here to stay. So are the other shows. And the future shows to come. For as long as we can hold up against those bullshit we will continue to stand tall and fight on. We have always done the right thing, getting the right licenses and approvals, placing licensed security personnels where necessary, doing whatever it takes to make things work. We break no rules. We harm no one. So please respect us and our work.

So until the day comes for us to say good bye, please continue to support your local promoters. This is the only way to keep things going. At least 90% of our shows will never happen with the big boys promoters because these shows do not make money at all when only 50 to 150 (if lucky!) crowd comes. And with all these drama mamas coming in at us, we are now at a new low. This is reality here in Singapore. "Life is a rollercoaster, just gotta ride it"

Stand united. Fight the good fight.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
