Death metallers Vital Remains made the news this week after their vocalist Brian Werner entered an onstage dispute with a club owner at The Haven in Orlando. The video of the incident circulated online (and you can see it below). After seeing a cross hanging at the venue above the stage, Brian Werner removed it, which prompted the club owner to rush to the stage and grab the cross. Allegedly, the woman didn't leave the stage until the show ended. Brian Werner has now released a statement explaining that the club owner assaulted the band, and also security ended up removing them from the venue.

Hate Eternal and Origin will co-headline a North American summer tour that will also include Vital Remains and Abysmal Dawn.

Hate Eternal vocalist/guitarist Erik Rutan and co. will be heading out this summer in support of their new album for Metal Blade Records, which is currently in the final stages of being completed. Hate Eternal's new album promises to be one of the most venomous slabs of death metal in 2011 and this tour, which features fellow death metal greats Origin, Vital Remains and Abysmal Dawn, will easily be one of the heaviest line ups of the year - or so the official press release promises you.

Erik Rutan adds: "Hate Eternal is super excited to be touring North America this summer with a new album and a completely awesome death metal package. It has been a while since we have done a headliner tour in the US, so for us to co-headline with Origin and add Vital Remains and Abysmal Dawn to the bill, totally has us amped up and psyched like you can't imagine!

We eagerly and anxiously await our time until we can get out there and play material from old to new for the death metal masses. Looking forward to seeing you all at the shows, and we hope you're hungry for over the top intense sonic destruction. This is a tour you do not want to miss!"

The Hatred Sounds Festival, set to take place yesterday December 4th in Ibagué, Colombia, was postponed after the last-minute cancellation of headliners Vital Remains.

Due to visa problems of the band's tour drummer Eddy Hoffman, Vital Remains were forced to cancel the event. Andrés Castro, tour manager for the band's Latin American shows, explained to the local media that the band tried to look for some available drummers in order to attend the show in Colombia, but they were already busy working on side projects or live shows with other bands.

Vital Remains promised to announce a new date, and the festival is postponed till then. Other acts on the bill included Soulburner, Luciferian, Nihil Obstat and Sagros.
