INCINERATION FESTIVAL 2022 have also confirmed EMPEROR, AKERCOCKE, TSJUNDER, OCTOBER TIDE, WINTERFYLLETH, SKELETAL REMAINS, REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER and MORE EXTREME METAL BANDS
FROM DARK FUNERAL:
We are deeply disappointed to have to announce that we have reached a situation with the organizer of the Incineration Festival that makes it completely impossible for us to attend. This means that our show on May 7 in London is canceled! We were really looking forward to performing for you but that doesn’t mean that we accept whatever nonsense that comes our way or tolerate contract breaches.
To make things very clear. The organizer is solely responsible for this and this is not something that we take lightly.
We apologize to the people who were waiting for us (we are equally disappointed) and we are looking forward to meeting the great people of England at Bloodstock Festival later this year!
A great festival that honour their agreements and treats their artists with respect!
DARK FUNERAL
FROM INCINERATION FESTIVAL:
We really wanted to maintain decorum and professionalism with the Dark Funeral situation, but with the band having decided to publicly attempt to soil on us, we feel that it must be said.
Dark Funeral refused to perform at Electric Ballroom, the stage they were originally booked to perform on. With the addition of the Roundhouse stage Dark Funeral demanded to play at the Roundhouse, even though the Electric Ballroom is three times the size of their usual headline venue. Moving Dark Funeral to the Roundhouse was logistically unviable, so the band decided to cancel on the festival and their fans.
We remain huge fans of the band musically - they are an incredible band, but it is what it is.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
