OFF THE BILL:
In recent news reports, Nuclear Blast's Arsis have pulled off of the upcoming North American Carcass tour. Drummer David Kinkade states on the band's blog, "I do not feel that it is my place to go into specific reasons and/or details leading up to this decision, but being the drummer of ARSIS, it is in my best interest to NOT keep the fans in the dark. There are major personal and communication issues in this band that need be resolved before anything can continue as ARSIS. I will leave it at that. Again, my apologies to the fans, the other bands on the bill and everyone who worked so hard to put this together." Ouch.
