M:PIRE OF EVIL Guitarist Mantas Returns To The Stage Next Week
October 17, 2013, 10 years ago
M:PIRE OF EVIL, featuring ex-VENOM members Tony Dolan (DEMOLITION MAN) and Jeff Dunn (MANTAS) together with drummer Marc Jackson (JXN) recently announced that Dunn would miss the first two shows of their current European tour with ONSLAUGHT due to a back injury. Dunn's recovery has been slower than expected and Dolan has checked in with a new update:
"Mantas will attend Eindhoven, Netherlands, but as there is a 9:00pm curfew and we are scheduled for a 6:00pm performance he will not be in time to play as he lands in Germany around 5:20pm. Apologies but I've tried everything to get him in sooner but with no luck."
M:Pire Of Evil have been performing an abbreviated set each night with the assistance of a stand-in guitarist on a few songs, as well as Dolan and Jackson knocking out a couple tracks as a duo.
