The 2007 edition of Germany's Up From The Ground Festival (www.uftg.de) will be held in Gemünden (between Würzburg and Aschaffenburg) on August 24th - 25th.

Organizers check in with the following: "We are really sorry to inform you that DYING FETUS will not perform at UFTG 2007. The fact that this step was necessary to cancel the band finally is very unfortunate indeed. We defined clear conditions for this show and informed the booking agency in front of the announcement in good time. Sad to say this terms were not adhered respectively ignored. And it was subsequent not possible to find a composition. We don't know if Dying Fetus were involved in this progress. We were only in contact with their agency.

This fact was an extreme surprise for us as well as on short notice. However we were able to care for an adequate replacement. Our friends ILLDISPOSED are ready again to fill this slot. Who had already seen this Danish 2003 or 2004 at our festival will definetely confirm that no Death Metal freak will leave the festival area unsatisfied. While the charming announcements of Bo Summers well known to be good entertainment value, the instrumental part runs over each possible barrier without mercy. Welcome to the boys!"

Acts on the bill for the festival now include: APOPHIS, ARCH ENEMY, BENEDICTION, DEMONICAL, DISASTER KFW, EAR-SHOT, ENTHRONED, ENTOMBED, EQUILIBRIUM, EVOCATION, FLESHLESS, GRAVEWORM, GRIND INC., ILLDISPOSED, JUSTICE, KRISIUN, KROMLEK, ONSLAUGHT, SABBAT, SADIST, SCAR SYMMETRY, SCARECROW, SONIC SYNDICATE, SUIDAKRA, TESTAMENT (headliner) and VOMITORY.
