Due to reasons beyond the band's control, Belgian black metallers ENTHRONED were forced to postpone the first two dates of their long anticipated North American tour.

The trek, which will mark the band's first time on US/Canadian soil in nine years, was originally scheduled to kick off yesterday at Club Europa in Brooklyn, NY and hit Jaxx in Springfield, VA tonight.

Both shows have been rescheduled for August 30th and September 1st respectively. The shows scheduled for Raleigh, NC and Atlanta, GA will go on as planned without Enthroned and feature only Australian black thrashers DESTRÖYER 666 and California death metallers PATHOLOGY, who will provide support through the rest of the tour. Enthroned will join the tour properly on August 8th at the Brass Mug in Tampa, FL. Tickets for all shows are currently available via Enter The Vault.

Meanwhile, the band report:

"Here is the actual situation about the US branch of the Pentagramaton World Tour 2010:

Enthroned and Deströyer 666 received their visas way too late from the US Embassy due to the slow going of some people involved within the booking process. Both bands received their Visas on Wednesday the 4th when we were supposed to be already on the plane flying towards the US, the plane tickets had to be re-booked and unfortunately there was no single flight available from Belgium to the US with that company before Friday evening.

Deströyer 666 had the chance to get their flights today from London direction Newark Airport.

We are utterly pissed off and frustrated by this lack of competence shown by those persons involved, but each situation has its good and bad sides and do not worry this tour will happened and here's all the informations:

- the NY show is postponed to the 31st of August
- the Washington show is also postponed to the 1st of September
- Raleigh and Atlanta will happened but unfortunately without Enthroned, we tried our best to make those gigs happen, but well at least Deströyer 666 will be there and will kick your fuckin' arse!!
- then we will join the tour in Tampa, FL, and the rest of the tour will happen just as planned

I guess its useless to say that we are pissed off and quite annoyed towards the fans over there who got fucked by those incompetent people but we insist on the fact that we can only feel sorry for those unprofessional persons, our hatred is at its paroxism and one thing is for sure: we'll unleash all that fury and frustration on the following shows, we count on you, each show shall be a fuckin riot!!!

See you in a few days fuckers!"
