INCANTATION Cancels European Tour
05 Aug 2008

Pennsylvania-based death metallers INCANTATION have cancelled their previously announced European tour with VOMITORY. INCANTATION mainman John McEntee has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"There are some personal family issues that made it impossible for us to fulfill our touring commitments for the remainder of 2008. So we would rather cancel our European tour now and give the promoters time to fill the dates then have a catastrophe at the last minute. We feel this is the only responsible decision. We apologize to all our European friends, supporters, our touring mates in VOMITORY, the promoters and Blast Corpse Promotion for the cancellation. We thank you very much for your support and understanding!"

INCANTATION's seventh album, "Primordial Domination", was released in 2006 on Ibex Moon Records.

"Although CAVALERA CONSPIRACY (featuring Max and Iggor of the legendary SEPULTURA) had several amazing and successful dates with their brothers in PRIEST throughout Eastern Europe, apparently the band has been deemed too inflammatory to open for Priest in Australia a ...
