HYPOCRISY CANCEL U.S. TOUR DUE TO IMMIGRATION ISSUES

Well, shit.

After battling to get into the country, Sweden's Hypocrisy have canceled their U.S. tour with Ensiferum, Blackguard and Swashbuckle. We previously reported that Canada's Ex Deo had to drop off the tour, also due to problems with immigration. Man, this tour just has no luck, does it? We're still confident the rest of the bands will kill it though, and we eagerly await the return of Hypocrisy to our shores.

The band released the following statement:

“We regretfully have to officially announce the cancellation of our tour in North America. We’ve tried everything so far and it seems like the process will take longer than expected for one of the members in the band. We will try to come back as soon as possible, as we want to show our U.S. fans that we care for them and we are ready to play the new songs live!”
