Mystic Prophecy recently announced the cancellation of their participation in the Orden Ogan tour, due to organizational issues.

Says the band: “This decision didn't come easy at all. We hope and thank for your understanding.”

Following the cancellation of the planned European tour as support for Orden Ogan, Mystic Prophecy received a lot of messages from their fans.

The band now announced a one-time War Brigade record release show at the Rockpalast (Matrix) in Bochum, Germany, on March 20th. They'll be joined by God's Army. There will be a signing session after the show.

Everyone who owns a ticket for the The Book Of Ogan Tour 2016 will receive free entry to the release show. Please note that you have to show the ticket at the door.

Mystic Prophecy will be performing a single show in Israel for the first time alongside bands Desert, Winter’s Verge and Switchblade. This show will be taking place on April 23rd at Gagarin Club, Tel Aviv. This will be Mystic Prophecy’s first performance in Israel and there is no doubt that they will conquer it. Their 2009 Fireangel proved to be a turning point for this force and their career.
