Cghicago-based black metallers WITHERING SOUL in conjunction with Pitch Black Productions has announced that the band will be canceling their May 2nd show in Mount Prospect, IL due to an injury to drummer, Marek. Marek’s injuries are only minor and he will return to his drum kit shortly.

According to a band statement, this is the first show the band has ever cancelled and Withering Soul wants their fans to know that they did not make this decision lightly and that all possible options were taken into consideration. Withering Soul has never canceled a show in the past and even finished a set back in August of 2008 alongside FINNTROLL after an injury that occurred on stage at Mokena’s Pearl Room. This prior injury was not the fault of the management or staff of The Pearl Room.

Withering Soul considered the idea of using a session drummer, but due to the little remaining time before the show, they decided against it knowing that no one would be able to learn the complex drum parts on such short notice. Withering Soul would like to apologize to their fans whom planned to attend this show and remind them that they will return on June 16th at The Pearl Room alongside ABSU, GLORIOR BELLI, SOTHIS and RUMPELSTILTSKIN GRINDER.

Although several acts are being considered to fill Withering Soul’s slot on this show featuring Chicago’s EZURATE and Iowa’s NETHERVOID, Withering Soul’s slot is currently still available and all interested parties should contact Tim at Pitch Black Productions if they are interested in performing on this show.
