Andorra based progressive, melodic death metal warriors PERSEFONE have CANCELLED out of their anticipated FALL 2023 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR with NE OBLIVISCARIS.
PERSEFONE unleashed "METANOIA", 2/4/2022 via NAPALM RECORDS.
FROM PERSEFONE:
It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce today our withdrawal from the upcoming US Tour this next October along Ne Obliviscaris and Beyond Creation.
The final decision not to continue with this particular tour is linked to many different reasons, from the purely economic side to very personal complications regarding some members of the band.
Prices on critical areas of touring such as transportation have been increasing far away from our economic capabilities in the last months, increasing the debt after the tour up to minus 30.000$.
When this reality started to manifest we tried very hard to figure out any solution not to cancel our appearance on this tour. From increasing bank loans to a crowdfunding campaign. But then the personal situation of two members of the band made it impossible for them to be able to come to the tour even finding an unlikely solution for the economic side of the problem.
On top of all this madness, the company we hired to transport all the gear from our last EU tour, lost equipment valued in about 8000€, adding that number to the economic pressure we are always facing and leaving us with no choice than having to replace all that gear by ourselves.
We want to keep making this band grow, and we will keep touring as much as we can, but the overall situation for this particular one is just too much for us to endure.
We are sure and we wish that the tour will be a huge success for all the bands involved, and we will really miss meeting all our friends in the US, and we will do everything in our power to come back to the US as soon as we can.
Thank you very much for all the support.
FROM NE OBLIVISCARIS
We are sad to share the news that @persefoneband have unfortunately had to pull out of our forthcoming USA/CAN tour this Oct/Nov. To read Persefone’s statement in full head to their socials or check our stories where we have linked to it.
We had such a great time with Persefone in Europe and had been so looking forward to another month on the road together, as I know many of you were to see us share the stage together.
The one silver lining in this is that our good friends @theomnificband have agreed to jump on for what will be their first ever shows in the USA & Canada. They are such a lovely group of guys and such immensely talented musicians and so we’re grateful to be able to give them this unexpected chance to play for you all.
Tickets are on sale (link in bio) and we really hope to see so many of you there! It’s been a long 5 years since our last shows in the USA/CAN and we’re really excited for it, even if today is a bit of mixed emotions seeing Persefone won’t be joining us this time around.
