Sodom has reportedly cancelled their appearance at Maryland Death Fest XIII this weekend due to visa issues. Solstice will be taking their place. A statement was issued in regards to the matter:
SODOM CANCELLING THEIR APPEARANCE AT MDF XIII.
The government approved the visa petition for SODOM, but then failed to send the required documents that would have allowed the band to actually get their visas despite repeated attempts by the MDF and the band to get those documents. The parties have been unable to get any answer from the government as to why the documents were never received by MDF or the band. The band is incredibly frustrated by this and so are we. We take a lot of pride in doing everything in our power to get foreign bands to the states, but it’s really hard for us to swallow when the incompetence of the U.S. government messes this up.
SOLSTICE will be playing instead of Sodom. This will change the schedule for that stage slightly and we’ll update the website with these changes this evening.
