Scottish death metallers CEREBRAL BORE have regrettably been forced to cancel their previously announced North American tour with GOATWHORE and HATE ETERNAL due to unforeseen circumstances regarding visas.

The band aim to return to North America as soon as possible, and as previously reported, have been added as the final band for this year's Neurotic Deathfest in the Netherlands. The band are scheduled to perform on the main stage this Friday, March 2nd at 7 PM.

Guitarist Paul McGuire comments: "After the countless hours of work we did in order to prepare for the tour, it was a pretty heavy blow to not end up making it... But I'm sure we won't be the last band not to make it on to a tour because of a visa hold up. We have to accept that these things happen sometimes and you can't do anything besides wait.

"We had a lot of things to look forward to on the tour, like a music video shoot in Hollywood, a show at the infamous Whiskey A Go Go club on Sunset Boulevard, our first ever shows in Canada and the chance to play to a bigger and wider number of fans in the US than ever before. But as I say, this visa problem was a one-off hold up, and we WILL be back in the States in the coming months to make up for it!

"So now, after being so lucky as to be offered the famous final slot on the main stage at Neurotic Deathfest in the Netherlands this coming Friday, we get the chance to get on a stage and unleash two weeks worth of pent-up fury caused by the visa problems... Expect absolute warfare and some new material being played for the first time!"

Neurotic Deathfest will take place March 2nd - 4th at 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands.
