Soilwork – Offer Aggressive Music Festival Cancellation Reason

Thursday, July 14, 2005

SOILWORK frontman Bjorn “Speed” Strid has offered fans reasoning behind their abrupt cancellation of their participation in the July 16th Aggressive Music Festival with many of their other OZZFEST 2005 cohorts. “It came to our knowledge yesterday that our drummer Dirk Verbeuren can?t make it to the show since he?s playing a festival in Finland (Tuska open air) with his other band Scarve and somehow his flight got cancelled and there was no other flights available that day .. This really sucks and we really want to appologize for this, especially for such short notice..Mr. David Witte (ex.Burnt by the sun etc.) will fill in for Dirk on the first show on Ozzfest. We?re rehearsing right now and he?s really doing an awesome job..”.

SOILWORK, as previously reported, were subsequently replaced by GOD FORBID on the 1-day event in Glen Falls, NY.
