It is not good news, guys. Ah, the visas, always the visas. Brazilians Sepultura have announced that their upcoming North American tour has been cancelled due to delay in obtaining visas. The band just released their new album The Mediator Between The Head And Hands Must Be The Heart and would be touring in support of it.

Sepultura issued this statement: "Due to the delay in obtaining a visa for the band to enter the United States, we regret to inform all fans that the previously announced North American tour is being cancelled. We apologize to the fans, promoters, and the bands who were going to be part of the Tsunami Of Metal tour - Unearth, Kataklysm, Scar The Martyr, Anciients, and Dark Sermon."

Fans who purchased advanced tickets will be entitled to a full refund.

Unearth also confirmed it: "Due to a Visa problem Sepultura has cancelled the upcoming tour. Since they were the headliner the tour will no longer continue and all of our North American tour dates this Fall are now cancelled. We wish things were different, but we will be back next year with a new album and new tours."

Anciients also commented: "Gutted... Sepultura tour we were supposed to be on isn't happening..."
