ARCH ENEMY Apologize For Dropping Off MACHINE HEAD Tour

May 6, 2004

Sweden's ARCH ENEMY have issued the following statement regarding the cancellation of their participation in the MACHINE HEAD-headlined "Weapons of Mass Destruction" U.S. tour:

"As previously reported, ARCH ENEMY have dropped off the current MACHINE HEAD US tour. To the fans that were expecting to see ARCH ENEMY perform at these shows, the band offers their deepest apologies. To all the people involved in putting the tour together, the band regrets that they couldn’t make it work out. To MACHINE HEAD and the other performing bands, ARCH ENEMY would like to apologise and wish them a successful tour."

The Swedish quintet were originally slated to start the tour with MACHINE HEAD on April 28 in Philadelphia but ended up postponing the kick-off date by a couple of days, citing "problems in obtaining a replacement U.S. visa" in Germany for singer Angela Gossow — an excuse that sources close to MACHINE HEAD say was "a complete lie."

Although ARCH ENEMY made it to the New England Metal And Hardcore Festival in time for their performance on Friday, a supposed "throat infection" suffered by Gossow "forced" the group to pull out of the entire tour on Saturday. No further information is available at this time.
