UK progressive extreme metallers DE PROFUNDIS have issued the following update:

"To our friends in Chennai (India), following on from last night’s statement, here’s the update.

As you may have heard the Open Air gig we were schedule to appear at in your city was pulled due to permission issues. However, De Profundis was very keen on maintaining its commitment to play in front of our fans in Chennai. Following a lot of hard work from all of De Profundis’ entourage, we have secured a last gasp gig in Chennai!

We will now be playing on Thursday, October 21st at 9 PM at Dublin inside the Sheraton Park Hotel. We realise this isn’t the ideal place to have a metal gig, but with one week to go there weren’t many options available. We tried hard to maintain the date of the 22nd, but again it couldn’t be done. So Thursday, October 21st at 9 PM it is!

Now, regarding getting into the venue here’s the deal. Dublin normally charges 750 rupees cover charge for couples (which would include drinks). Our management has explained that metalheads won’t pay that kind of money, and coming as a couple again isn’t really always practical. So we have negotiated an Exclusive Guest List which will give you FREE access to Dublin for the night, you pay for individual drinks. The catch is you have to email us your FULL NAME so we can include it on the guest list. Please email to management@deprofundistheband.com no later than 11 AM on October 21st, otherwise you will end up paying 750 rupees on the door!

Dress Code (for men): closed shoes and full pants.

De Profundis is actually taking a pretty big financial hit to play this gig but that won’t matter if you guys all show up and go crazy! I am told the venue is small, so we will be playing in your faces, and a long set as well.

So we have done our bit now Chennai, over to you! SPREAD THE WORD FAST PLEASE!"
