I think I can safely say thats a rumour started by annoyed fans.............. however its possable, but very very slight chance.

We are forced to be the bringers of some bad tiding!
The Deceide tour is canceled! We have done all we could within our legal power to save this whole tour but non turned out to be sufficient enough. A statement will follow soon.

Statement from Metallysee Booking Agency re. Deicide Cancellation - 09/06/04

Yesterday, Tuesday 8th June, DEICIDE abruptly walked out on the eve of their European tour. They were scheduled to play London last night but, instead, they were in Heathrow airport waiting for a flight to the U.S.

A statement has already been made by the band's label, Earache Records, so we felt it necessary to issue our own.

The problems began last week when Glen Benton contacted us demanding a very sizeable increase in the band's wage per show. If this was not forthcoming, the band would cancel. So, left with no choice, we had to give in to their ridiculous demand. The fees had already been agreed with regional agents and promoters so we at Metallysee were being forced to foot this extra expense ourselves. But it was this or no tour at all so we had very little choice.

However, yesterday 8th June, the band decided to demand even more money - effectively, they were looking for double the amount originally agreed. This simply was not possible for 2 reasons: 1) Financially 2) We cannot allow ourselves to be 'bullied' in this manner after already giving in once to their demands.

Coupled with the financial wrangles, the band decided the transportation was not good enough - the main problem being the air conditioning being faulty on the bus. This was something that could have been fixed and surely not a reason to pull a tour.

So, in the end, the band unloaded their gear and headed for home, leaving 3 support bands, agents, promoters and of course the fans truly cheated (and in the case of ourselves, the agents and promoters, seriously out of pocket).

We now feel that we can never work with this band again and would like to apologise to everyone affected by the unreasonable behaviour of Deicide.

People I should also point out that Dying Fetus have cancelled their European tour as they have issues with the same tour operator that Deicide had issues with

Although I don not know the amounts of money involved, I am disgusted at a band like Decide cancelling for financial reasons. Perhaps I would change my mind if they weren't making enough to survive on, but they accepted one offer, fought for more, and then more again, that 'sounds' like something Louis Walsh would do, not Decide.

Karl Hungus

It's downright ridiculous altogether, but I'm actually more annoyed that because of this, I won't get to see Akercocke! I unfortunately missed them when they played here in January.

To paraphrase Phillip J. Fry, I'm literally angry with rage!

Here's a statement from Earache:

DEICIDE Cancel European Tour.

Floridian death metallers DEICIDE have abruptly ended their "Scars Of The Crucifix" European tour before even playing one date.

"After a performance at the Dynamo festival on June 5, the band entered the U.K. but declined to play the London show on June 8 — opting instead to fly home to Florida, citing their anger and frustration at the transportation and financial arrangements provided by the tour agent," reads an official statement from the group's record label, Earache Records. "It does not affect any other shows DEICIDE have booked in the USA."


Load of sh1t. :mad:

Dr. Dre

Didn't Glen Benton oncce say that he was going to commit suicide when he was 33?
Surely that time has come and gone, seems an awful long time ago.

Doctor J

Satanists will always let you down. Vote Jesus

There was funny business when they played here back in 91, support band (Cancer I think) didn't show up and they only played for 40 minutes or so, though they only had one album out at the time. Still, it was a great show, shame this has happened regardless of the cause, I can't see them coming to Europe again.

I would have gone more to see Akercoke myself also, but woudln't have minded seeing Deicide.

It seems a lot of people would have been going for akercocke, many of my friends were anyway. I'd have to agree, i don't see deicide playing in Europe again. Are they playing at wacken this year?

nesthead

i hope theyre kicked off tho..... mother****ers.........
