Avantgarde black metallers DØDHEIMSGARD have announced they have had to cancel their appearance at Wacken Open Air 2012 on short notice due to drummer D‘arn’s involvement in a serious motorcycle accident. In addition to some minor injuries, he broke his arm, making playing his instrument impossible.

As a consequence of this, the set of Red Fang will be longer - a full hour. An updated running order for the festival can be found at this location.

Wacken Open Air is set for August 2nd - 4th in Wacken, Germany.
