Slipknot: To resume touring in October!

Slipknot: To resume touring in October!

Slipknot bassist Paul Gray has issued a statement on MySpace regarding the cancellation of the band's U.S. tour.

The Iowa-based nine-piece cancelled 11 concerts that were scheduled to take place between August 22 and September 5 due to a "severe medical emergency" suffered by drummer Joey Jordison.

“Dear maggots, let me begin by saying we are VERY SORRY we had to cancel this leg of the tour,” Gray writes. “As you know, touring is our life; getting in front of you guys and playing keeps this band ALIVE. So it hurts us and much as you that we had to do this.”


“There are PERSONAL issues in the band that NEED to be taken care of for us to continue touring. Let me emphasize JOEY IS NOT DEAD/DYING, **HE IS FINE**.”

“We have been working hard for the last year and a half on the All Hope Is Gone touring cycle and it catches up to you, as I said earlier, but I am very sorry. We had to cancel to the two-week run but are desperately trying to make those shows up in our October tour.”

“We are not canceling our October tour, the band is not breaking up, we are all alive. I am setting the record straight.”

“If you don't hear it from one of us in this band, then it is bullshit. We are human and shit happens and that's how life goes, but we are making the best of it right now, as should you.”

“We will be on the road in October and hopefully we will see you there.”

“For everyone that has sent emails/messages thank you VERY much, They do mean a lot to us.”

“Hang in there we will see you soon.”

Cradle of Filth’s Dani blogs...

Cradle of Filth’s Dani blogs…

Apologising "for the lateness and irregularity of [his] correspondence", Cradle of Filth’s Dani Filth has updated the blog on the bands Official MySpace page with an update about the bands escapades in Australia recently. Pretty colorful it would seem...

"A few funny events included Martin in a Borat lime green Mankini, running around the hotel at five in the morning, having been reported to the staff for being a flasher and the promoter waking up the next morning to discover his shoes solidified in the freezer..."

Dani also touches upon the an incident in Adelaid when he was taken ill, sending his apologies foe the "shortened, slightly instrumental set...".

You can read the full, rather humerous blog at:

Cradle of Filth will be back in the UK soon to co-headline the upcoming Bloodstock Festival, this coming August. They join label mates Satyricon.

Port Amoral pop up and say hi!

Port Amoral pop up and say hi!

New boys Port Amoral have updated their official Myspace blog with news pf what life has been like for them in the past couple of years and and what they have coming up in the not too distant future.

Hatty posts: The last two years have been kind of a whirlwind, with lots of ups and downs. We’re all really jacked up that Roadrunner finally signed on to be a part of the PA team. Everyday is a day closer to the release of our debut album “Villains.” In the next few months things will be happening really quick. We are currently having Travis Smith (art guru and sex god behind many of your favorite bands art works) working on the art for the album. A new MySpace with brand spanking new photos will be accompanied by a couple new tracks (and hopefully a sexy album trailer) off the upcoming debut will be up in the next couple months…
