According to the organizers of Germany's
Party.San Open Air festival, which is scheduled to take place August 9-12 in Bad Berka, Florida death metal veterans
DEICIDE have canceled their previously announced summer European tour "for reasons which are beyond of our control." The organizers add, "We are very sorry about this decision and need to go on without the band. Polish kings of satanic death metal
BEHEMOTH will headline on Saturday, August 11th. We thank
Nergal and crew for the great help and the quick conversions of [their] schedules.
BEHEMOTH are the ineffable kings of satanic death metal and they will without doubt rule the festival. We hope you are happy as we are about this unexpected booking!“
DEICIDE recently completed the North American headlining
"March Of Death 2012" trek, with support from
JUNGLE ROT, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS and
LECHEROUS NOCTURNE.
