STATEMENT BY ANDRE
Now is the time to say something about the actual discussions and rumours on different internet forums concerning me wearing a shirt of the band “Ornaments Of Sin”:
First and for all time: I AM NOT AN NEO- NAZI!
Everything else would be a shame for me and the things i’ve done in the past 20 years. The “Ornaments Of Sin” Shirt was a gift from a fan I received on our tour with Obituary a few days before the interview in Spain where the photos were taken. I receive a lot of gifts at our shows, people talk to me and say thank you. In this moment you don’t really realise what kind of gift it is. At this time I didn’t know what this Band is and what development they had. I ‘ve known them as a Black Metal Band without an political background.
Until the discussions started i wasn’t aware of the political Background which I would not have tolerated. I never would have worn the shirt, I wouldn’t have even accepted it or would have thrown it away! Those who know me, know that I always stood up against fascism (incl. NSBM) and I always will! But I also will not take part on the actual Witch-hunt of the whole black metal scene!
Please accept my apology, that i wore a shirt by a band without informing myself about this band’s political background.

VOTING POLL GOT HACKED!
We just got informed that someone hacked our voting poll. We don't want to accuse no one so we decided to take off the poll. It is very sad, that it is not possible to realise a voting where everybody has the same chances, because there seem to be people who fight with unjust weapons. That is unfair and very disappointing!
We will decide what to do in the next days! We saved the names of all 40 bands, and one will definitely play. But how we now chose this one band we don't know yet. Sorry to all of you and a great fuck you to those who destroyed the whole thing! You know who you are!

SOUTH AMERICA TOUR CANCELLED
Due to many many different reasons, Marcos, the promotor of the tour and we as a band, have to cancel our South America Tour in April.
We feel very sorry about that because we were very excited to visit South America again after our last stop there 4 years ago.
It would be too much to talk about the reasons for this cancellation here.
We just wanted to let you know, that everybody who is involved in the planning of this tour tried everything to rescue the tour!
The smooth and satisfying order of events was just not guaranteed anymore in the end! Some Problems occurred which could not be solved and so we had to make this decision!
Once again we want to let you all know how very sorry we feel about these turn of events! Especially the very late cancellation! But that wasn't our fault! We also got informed just now about the problems that occured.
We hope to make up for the tour as soon as possible, maybe allready this year! We want you to know that we see this as a postponement rather than a cancelletion! So, see you all soon somewhere in South America!
Thank you!
MAROON

BACK HOME AFTER THE HELL ON EARTH TOUR
After more than 3 weeks on the road with the HELL ON EARTH tour, we are finally back home again. The whole tour was a great pleasure and it was so amazing to finally tour together with our brothers and longest friends in HEAVEN SHALL BURN. We shared the bus (and everything else) with them and our brothers in CATARACT. For us it was the best and easiest tour so far! We would thank all our fans who came to see us playing live once again. Especially those in Berlin, Frankfurt, Dresden and Essen for making those shows the most memorable of the Tour! Of course we have to thank HEAVEN SHALL BURN and Benny as well as CATARACT and Martin, Pappe, Schlumpf and Large for the great time we had. It was such a pleasure to spend those 3 weeks with you! We love you all and hope to do this again sometime! We also want to give a big shout out to the bands in the other bus, who've been really cool. GOD FORBID, PURIFIED IN BLOOD and A PERFECT MURDER... We hope to see you guys again sometime!!!
