CRYPTOPSY Explain DRUM DAY Benefit Cancellation

July 20, 2004

Canadian death metallers CRYPTOPSY have posted the following message on their official web site:

"The first 2 shows with the return of Lord Worm have been amazing, and fans have had great reactions as well. Unfortunately CRYPTOPSY was not let through the U.S. border to perform in the widely anticipated Rhode Island Drum Benefit. It seems as though you need to purchase expensive working papers to cross even if it's for one day and you are playing for free (donating your performance). The band had worked long and hard with the organizer of this event to make it happen and were more than happy to donate their performance. It's unfortunate that such strict 'free trade' laws exist between two neighbouring countries, but we won't even begin to go into that. We would like to wish all the best to the family of Russell Camire and to congratulate Marc for his hard work and dedication to this event. We'll be back."
