Vomitory - European Tour With Incantation Cancelled

Vomitory have announced the following:

"The upcoming European tour in September together with Incantation has unfortunately been cancelled. Incantation has been forced to cancel due to personal familiy issues, which leaves us with no headliner for the tour. Vomitory will still play a few of the planned shows (see dates below). We are of course very sorry for the cancellation, but the things that have happened are beyond anyone's control, which makes it impossible to fulfil this tour. We apologize to our fans and all the promotors involved. We are aiming for a full European tour next year after the release of our next album, which is planned for a May 2009 release."

Vomitory will still play these shows just as planned:

11 Sept - DE, Berlin - K17
12 Sept - DE, Bischofswerda - Morbide Festspiele
13 Sept - DE, Bitterfeld - Festung
14 Sept - NL, Zaandam - Kade
27 Sept - DE, Essen - Essen Death Fest 7 / Turock

Other shows that are confirmed for the remainder of 2008 are:

24 Oct - SWE, Sundsvall - Club Destroyer (support: Dead Awaken)
25 Oct - SWE, Östersund - Hårdrocksklubben @ Gamla Tingshuset (support: Dead Awaken)

Pantheist - Mini European Tour Finalized

Pantheist have posted the following on their MySpace:

"As you might have noticed in the last few weeks, there have been a few changes in the tourdates with Skepticism and Ophis. We are proud to announce that the 7 dates have now been finally confirmed! This short but intense tour is going to be a unique event (not joking, considering Skepticism only tour for the second time in their long career and for us it's only our second proper tour as well). Hope to see many of you there.

In related news, we have a great time recording our third album "Journey Through Lands Unknown" with Greg at Priory Studios. The album is currently being mastered at Sonic Mastering by Rik Dowding (some of you might recognize his name from the credits of the last Portishead album; you might even have seen him, as he was their sound engineer on their recent tour). We should be able to post a full track on the myspace site by next weekend or so."

The dates are as follows:

Oct 25 Logo Hamburg, Hamburg (Ger)
Oct 26 Baroeg, Rotterdam (Ned) Dutch Doom Day VII]
Oct 27 Kunstverein, Nurnberg (Ger)
Oct 28 Black Pes, Prague (Cz)
Oct 29 Rock club na OZZaY, Nitra (Svk)

After Death - Playing European Tour As Nocturnus

According to a press release from Arcane Promotions, Nocturnus will be touring their legendary "The Key" album later this year with their classic line-up from that period. Support will come from Violated (SWE), Punish (CH), Memorial (DK) and Slither (SWE)

So far the following dates have been announced:

Oct. 14 - Copenhagen, DEN - The Rock
Oct. 15 - Hamburg, GER - Hafenklang
Oct. 16 - Hengelo, NED - Metropol
Oct. 17 - Rotterdam, NED - Baroeg
Oct. 18 - London, GBR - Electrowerkz
Oct. 19 - Birmingham, GBR - The Asylum
Oct. 20 - TBA
Oct. 21 - TBA
Oct. 22 - Pratteln, SUI - Z7
Oct. 23 - Wien, AUT - Viper Room
Oct. 24 - Milano, ITA - Zoe Club
Oct. 25 - Giebelstadt, GER - Bringer Of Death Fest XVI
Oct. 26 - Berlin, GER - K17

A flyer of the event can be found here

In the meantime, Mike Browning (Former Morbid Angel and Nocturnus drummer/vocalist) has issued a statement regarding what is being billed as a reunion of the "classic lineup" of Nocturnus, set to take place in Europe this fall. In a post to to the comments section of Blabbermouth, Browning writes, "I want to be totally up front and honest with everyone that the original lineup will not be touring. My band After Death will be doing the tour as Nocturnus, we WILL be playing at least 7 of the 10 songs on 'The Key" as well as a couple of old Morbid Angel songs done the way they were originally written on "Abominations of Desolation"! Mike Davis was asked and he didn't want to do the tour as he and I were the ones who wrote pretty much everything on 'The Key'. Lou and Sean were not asked to do this. What people will see will be a show that no one else can faithfully perform containing old Nocturnus and Morbid Angel material that I either wrote or co-wrote. And it will be done the way it was meant to be written and performed, not some contrived 'rock star' version! The tour will be from October 13-27, 13 shows only to be done in Europe because of these U.S. trademark restrictions from the former members who did indeed steal the name and band I created back in 1988."
