Anaal Nathrakh Says They Never Agreed To Tour With Fleshgod Apocalypse

Yesterday it was announced that Anaal Nathrakh would be hitting the road this fall in support of Italian technical death metallers Fleshgod Apocalypse. It was good news to a lot of metal fans. It turns out it was even news to Anaal Nathrakh who claim they never gave their consent for this tour. The band states:

"For anyone hoping to see us in the UK in October: It appears we have been announced for a string of UK dates with Fleshgod Apocalypse in October. We did NOT agree to play these shows. Repeat: at no point have we ever said that we would play these dates, or that Mick would even be in Europe at the time. We are currently looking into whether we can do them for the sake of those who may have already bought tickets. But the dates have been announced without our participation or consent, and we cannot guarantee at this stage that we will be playing. We thought it best to let people know the situation as quickly as possible rather than waiting for a final confirmation. Further information will follow as soon as it is available."

Tour promoter Andy from Deathwave Entertainment had the following to say about the development:

"Booking a tour is a very complex and tasking job, breakdowns in communication can happen at any level and often do. Very few gigs go off without a hitch never mind entire tours, it is just that this one is bigger than most and on a very high profile tour."

We will keep you posted and hopefully this all works out in the end as it seems to be a great lineup.
