Death Speaks Out

NAPALM DEATH bassist Shane Embury has offered his own comment on the group’s decision to pull out of the Metallenium tour (now featuring SIX FEET UNDER, CANDIRIA, LAMB OF GOD, GOD FORBID and DARKEST HOUR) and vocalist Mark “Barney” Greenway’s recent statement on the political situation in American and events that led to the recent World Trade Center tragedy.

Here are Embury’s remarks in their entirety:

“I would just like to say that I am sorry we couldn't make the US tour. Us and DIMMU BORGIR were kind of in the same boat as we were sharing the bus and just one cancelled gig would have been a right f.cker. I was all geared for coming over, as were the rest of the guys, but at the end of the day, it wasn’t just down to us. The flights were booked and everything. As to the other stuff that as been flying around [the Internet], this is Barney's opinion. I want to speak on the rest of the band’s behalf that they/we do not in reflection feel this way - for us the music is important, and I am not going to get carried away on the subject here, so that is that.. I just hope that there are some kids out there who want to see us when we hopefully come over with DIMMU in January. Take care, Shane.”
