PROFUGUS MORTIS - This Saturday's Montreal Show No Longer EP Release Party, Final Gig Under Current Band Name
December 4, 2008, 15 years ago
Due to a new label deal currently being ironed out, PROFUGUS MORTIS's show at Underworld in Montreal, Quebec this Saturday, December 6th, will NOT be a release party for their new EP, Another Round. It will also be the band's last gig under their current name. As previously reported, they are now known as BLACKGUARD and will make their debut under the new name on Paganfest 2 with PRIMORDIAL, ELUVEITIE and MOONSORROW.
Frontman Paul Ablaze recently issued the following update with regards to the band's name change to Blackguard:
"Yes it's true , we have in fact changed our name to Blackguard.One of the main reasons for this change was to avoid possible legal action against us. Our new European label (soon to be announced ) informed us of this and asked if we'd be willing to change names, which we obviously said yes to. This was not an easy decision, but it was a necessary one to avoid possible future complications. I hope you all understand.
This is the end of an era for us, but it is also a new beginning. With this change comes new labels (to be announced), new management and of course... new tours.
See you all at PAGAN FEST 2!!"
