Mayhem – Cancel Upcoming U.S. Tour
Season of Mist, Thunderdome Booking, and Decibel magazine have announced the cancellation of MAYHEM’s “Deconsecrate the States” 2007 U.S. tour that was scheduled to launch in July.
During his recent stint across the U.S. with fellow Norwegian countrymen DIMMU BORGIR, MAYHEM drummer Hellhammer suffered an unfortunate and serious injury to his right limb. It is impossible for him to play any time soon as he is currently scheduling surgery and will need rest and rehabilitation in order to heal his impaired arm. Being such an indispensable part of the band, fellow members Necrobutcher, Blasphemer, and Attila realized that they are not complete without him and had no choice but to cancel this current U.S. jaunt.
The band have issued this statement, “The power of MAYHEM must come at full force and without Hellhammer, it is impossible for us to accomplish this feat. We deeply regret having to cancel the tour but we feel that there truly was no other option. We shall however return stronger than ever to deconsecrate your shores as soon as humanly possible!”

What a shame, ‘Ordo Ad Chao’ was one of the more serious, powerful releases in recent years. I like the manner in which the faggy reviewers dismissed it after a few spins due to ‘ poor, muddy production’ and consequently never even really heard the subtlties of the music or the insane vox.
LOL, perhaps they should have used the Abyss or whoever NILE used for their last couple of releases.
At least I’m spared standing through the insulting undercard for the ‘frisco show! :)
Better to go out this way than stumble along ala SABBATH, PRIEST, imo.
R.I.P.
the new cd sucked and their openers were better than them
