CRIMSON SHADOWS, KILLITOROUS – Tour Vans Broken Into; Gear Stolen
January 25, 2015, 9 years ago
Canadian acts Crimson Shadows and Killitorous wrapped up their Kings Of Chaos Tour finishing up in Montreal. On the final night of the tour, both bands’ tour buses were broken into and gear was stolen. Killitorous posted the following on their Facebook page:
“Alright, so basically yesterday was one of the BEST shows in Montreal we ever played, but my GOD what a terrible day...January 24th, 2015, on the Kings Of Chaos tour, Killitorous along with Crimson Shadows vans got broken into in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They stole thousands of dollars of Killitorous gear and personal items as well as damaging both of the bands vans. It was the last day of the tour. According to the Police who filed the report with the bands management, this happens every day to people in Montreal (20-25 people DAILY), and ESPECIALLY to bands with license plates not from the province of Quebec. Shocking amounts of bands have been robbed and ripped off in Montreal when leaving their vans un-attended. We ourselves have heard so many horror stories, and have had a ton of friends in bands who have ALSO been robbed in Montreal and to be honest, the police were not very helpful in helping to find any suspect (they more so felt like insurance men handing us forms). We send out a warning to all bands touring in Canada: NEVER EVER LEAVE YOUR VAN ALONE IN MONTREAL... which sucks so much because it is one of the best places for bands to play in the whole Country. But they get shit on like this while they are playing... in some cases literally (like ours).
“Having had a completely successful tour be ruined by someone who has NOTHING to do with our band, business or work ethic hurts us in ways we cannot explain. All the hard work, destroyed by a complete stranger. It makes one of the most difficult things you can do (touring in an underground death metal band) feel a million times more impossible. We only have one thing to say to the motherfucker who does not know us, but destroyed all our hard work, the motherfucker who ruined a completely successful tour: You can never stop us.
“Visit our store, come to our next shows (we have a special show tonight at the Centre Culturelle in Beloeil, Quebec) & Spread the word!”
