Lamb Of God - Cancel Euro Tour, COB And Sylosis To Continue


And the tour cancellations continue following the Paris terrorist attacks. While some bands have maintained their shows in Paris and all over Europe, others like Lamb Of God have decided to return home, citing security concerns to cancel their remaining shows. Curiously enough, Children Of Bodom and Sylosis, whom have been accompanying Lamb Of God on this tour, have decided to continue with the European trek unlike the Americans.

Said Lamb Of God in a statement: "Due to concerns brought to our attention by the venue security team yesterday in Tilburg ? and continued general concerns across Europe ? we have decided against putting our fans, our crew and ourselves in this position night after night and will be canceling the remainder of our performances in Europe. This is a decision we are making on behalf of the fans, our crew, and our band, as well as the well-being of everyone's family, friends and loved ones at home. Stay safe, and we will see you very soon."

Children Of Bodom have confirmed that they are continuing with the tour alongside Sylosis: "Lamb Of God has chosen to leave the European tour due to security concerns in Europe. Our team has been working very hard to make all of the remaining shows happen. We want to, and have decided to, continue on the road and play the rest of the tour. Sylosis also will be joining us on their scheduled appearances. Here is what we know so far. Unfortunately the promoter has decided to move forward and cancel tonight's show in Oberhausen, Germany, and the additional shows in Germany. At this time, the remaining schedule will move forward as this (we are looking to add more shows FYI). We will keep you updated as we have changes, and we are doing our best to keep you informed as quickly as possible on everything."

Children Of Bodom and Sylosis tour dates and more could be added:

22 Nov - Pratteln - Z7 Konzertfabrik
23 Nov - Lausanne - Les Docks
24 Nov - Milan - Alcatraz
25 - 28 - Nov- TBD - Please stay tuned
29 Nov - Brussels - Ancienne Belgique
01 Dec - Copenhagen - Amager Bio
03 Dec - Helsinki - Old Ice Hall
05 Dec - Stockholm - Klubben
06 Dec - Oslo - Rockefeller Music Hall
09 Dec - Tampere - Tähtiareena
10 Dec - Seinajoki - Rytmikorjaamo
11 Dec - Jyvaskyla - Paviljonki

It sound like Europe has become in a state of warfare :


Strange, and sad. With this the terrorists has won because their main task is to spread fear, and this is a perfect example on a situation where fear has canceled the tour for them.

Kudos to Sylosis and CoB!

I don't think it's unreasonable. A high profile band (for Metal) with songs regarding politics and religion, whose name mocks Jesus (a lesser prophet in Islam), has serious security concerns and now thinks about the safety of everyone after their singer was put trial for murder. Perhaps they consider the risk of having a large group of people in one place to be their responsibility and deem it unnecessary until things settle down. No matter how good venue security is, a well armed and suicidal group of assholes could overwhelm them. The police just had a 1 hour shootout with one small group. What good is a bouncer going to do? Or does venue security in Europe carry assault rifles and body armor with heavy plates?

Do they stop to turn in Europe until the end of war against ISIS?

Several advices from my little person: don't drive until the end of car accidents... don't eat or breathe until the end of cancer...

Next month, I will see a fucking good band in Paris: Arkona! Terrorists? I don't give a fuck!!! I'm not brave... but fear sucks! Do I die next month? Life is just the beginning of death! Live and die or die and live? I'm not a fucking zombie! I will live and die...

I was lucky enough to catch them at Wembley the day after the attacks, and they put on a great show. It's disappointing that they made this decision, particularly after the declaration they made at that gig (which I see Marcel linked), but at the same time I think it's reasonable for bands to be concerned about the potential they have for drawing attacks and endangering both themselves and concert-goers.

Maybe metal organizers should hire 1% biker gangs as HAMC for venue and area protection .. Sonny Barger is patriot he attacked in 60's hippies who protested against Nam war
Otherwise he is an idiot I am in George Christie side
Scandi bikers has scani army weapons even Alfa Tango 4 (ask deadone what is that)
Angels did protection to Stones for just few beers ...

I get what LOG means but they canceled their show in Tilburg (The Netherlands) just 20 minutes before the doors opened. That's ridiculous! If they didn't want to play because of safety issues than they should have canceled the show a few hours before opening of the venue. But okay, it's in the past now and we can't change anything about it. I just hope they come back to Europe and give us a show that will let us forget this all happened.

It was simply a matter of speech, not to repeat Lamb Of God in the same sentence again. Why are you making such a big deal about this? Now one can't mention that a band is American? Seems a bit too much. There was nothing behind it whatsoever.

It isn't that the article mentioned that the band was American. There would be nothing wrong with that. But in this case it is used in such a way as to seem derogatory.

"Curiously enough, Children Of Bodom and Sylosis, whom have been accompanying Lamb Of God on this tour, have decided to continue with the European trek unlike the Americans."

Curiously enough? Meaning what? That the writer of the article is actually scratching their head wondering why Children of Bodom and Sylosis would continue the tour after Lamb of God dropped off? Or do they mean, The Americans can't hack it...isn't that "curious"

I'm not saying that the writer meant to imply anything about Americans specifically. But I definitely think they could have worded it better.

Well, to me the article seems to suggest that Lamb of God (and by extension all Americans) are just being giant pussies.

I believe that was the intention, and the official stance of Metal Storm.

Well, it wasn't. Lamb Of God cancelled. Children of Bodom and Sylosis didn't. All the rest is nitpicking.

Yeah and that the arrangement went to hell pretty quickly.

So no, we should not hire low-life criminals for protection (unless maybe they threaten to break your store first ).
