Ill Niño - First Week Of European Tour Postponed

It is with much regret that Ill Niño must cancel the first week of shows for their upcoming European tour.

The band explains: "Our singer Cristian Machado was hospitalized last week, and after many tests, found out he has six herniated discs, and a pressured nerve against his spine. Cris is going through major treatment and rehabilitation, to be able to get back to normal. We all wish Cristian a speedy recovery, as he can't wait to get back and play for you all, as we all do!

After Cristian undergoes the necessary therapy for his back, we will now start our European Festival dates on Friday, August 6th, at the Wacken Open Air Festival, and finish on August 22nd. We apologize for any incovenience, but it was unexpected and beyond our control."

Manticora - New Album Details, European Tour Dates

Longstanding Danish metal band Manticora have completed the recordings of their 7th full length album, Safe, at Jailhouse Studios. Once again the album was produced and mixed under the guiding hands of Tommy Hansen (known for Jorn, Helloween, Pretty Maids).

Following the successful two-part Black Circus albums (released in 2006 and 2007 on now defunct Locomotive Music), Safe will see the band exploring a darker and heavier side of their songwriting than in recent years, and contrary to the simplicity of the album cover (a black/white cover only showcasing the band-symbol) Safe is filled with high-octane technical power-thrash.

Safe tracklist:

01. In The Abyss Of Desperation
02. Silence The Freedom
03. Complete
04. From The Pain Of Loss (I Learned About The Truth)
05. A Lake That Drained
06. Carrion Eaters
07. Safe
08. Embryonic Man

Upon renewing their deal for Japan with Stay Gold/Art Union Records for the release of the album, Manticora have signed with US based label Nightmare Records for the rest of the World. The releases in Europe and North America have been set for September 20th and 21st respectively.

In the same month, Manticora will embark on a headliner tour, presented by Rock Hard Magazine, throughout Europe. Support on the tour will come from Norwegian power/prog band Divided Multitude. The dates confirmed so far (more to follow):

Sep. 24 - Markthalle, Hamburg, Germany
Sep. 25 - Turock, Essen, Germany
Oct. 01 - Bastard Club, Osnabrueck, Germany
Oct. 02 - The Rock Temple, Kerkrade, Holland
Oct. 03 - De Pul, Uden, Holland
Oct. 04 - Nouveau Casino, Paris, France
Oct. 08 - EventStage, Zizers, Switzerland
Oct. 09 - Mephisto Club, Alessandria, Italy
