Thornafire Forced To Cancel US Tour w/ Monstrosity
Thornafire recently announced the band's forced cancellation of their planned US tour with Monstrosity and Torn The Fuck Apart in July. Guitarist Victor MacNamara has issued the following statement regarding this unfortunate situation. "Due to delays in the processing of our visa application to enter the USA, Thornafire will unfortunately have to cancel their appearance on the Monstrosity U.S. tour 2009, scheduled to take place this June. We've done everything in our power and have followed every procedure to make this happen, but the process is very expensive and time-consuming. This matter is out of our hands and we are very disappointed as this was to be our first opportunity to show our madness to the US fans. On a happier note, we are releasing our second album Vorex Deconstrucción and it's already sounding very impressive! We are also working with Ibex Moon Records on setting up a new US tour."

“This years Murderfest has been coming together in ways that we could never imagine!
