HEATHEN Issue Roadside Update; Live Footage With DESTRUCTION Available
May 10, 2011, 13 years ago
Bay Area thrash legends HEATHEN have been pummeling their way through the US and Canada on tour with the mighty DESTRUCTION. The North American Reckoning Tour 2011 commenced on April 26th in Vancouver, and despite some stressful bus issues and being forced to miss their Detroit gig, has successfully pillaged its way through nearly two week's worth of dates with another week and a half to go .
Commented Heathen guitarist Kragen Lum from the road: "Well, the tour got off to a rough start but despite the tour bus breaking down, having to get another bus, and barely making it to the Denver show things are back on track. All of the shows have been killer and we're having a great time with the Destruction guys. We've got 13 shows left on the tour so come on out and get your thrash fix!"
In regards to the Detroit show, Lum added: "Apologies to any Heathen fans that came out to see us in Detroit [at Harpo's]. Unfortunately, the promoter for the show double booked the venue with two tours on the same night -- the Destruction tour and the CAVALERA CONSPIRACY tour - and then decided he couldn't pay all of the bands. Consequently, we were bumped from the bill along with another band and did not get to play. We were at the venue and ready to go but the situation was beyond our control. Hopefully we can come back to Detroit in the near future."
Despite being unable to play at Harpo's, Lum has been joining Destruction onstage each night to play 'Release From Agony'. Check out footage from Detroit below:
