Abysmal Dawn have dropped from Obscura‘s pending North American tour with Vale Of Pnath and Interloper.

Obscura had this to say on the matter:

“Abysmal Dawn are forced to pull out of our tour due to private reasons we honor and respect. We will travel with a three band package instead and cannot wait to hit the road next month to see all of our fans in the United States and Canada! The world looks bright again and there is nothing better than celebrating our brand new album ‘A Valediction‘ and a selected best-of set with all of you. Pick up your tickets and see you in a bit!”

Abysmal Dawn vocalist and guitarist Charles Elliott has issued this statement:

“We regret to announce that we will not be able to join our brothers in Obscura, Vale Of Pnath and Interloper across North America this February/March. In all my years of touring since 2006, I’ve never canceled a tour and I have always found a way to make it work against sometimes seemingly impossible odds. Please believe us when we say it wasn’t an easy decision, and it’s for reasons we’d like to keep private at the moment. Our sincerest apologies to the fans that were hoping to see us on this one, but it was not meant to be. We wish the other bands a successful tour, and we hope to see you and all your beautiful-smiling-healthy faces again in the near future.”

Abysmal Dawn are scheduled to release their EP Nightmare Frontier on February 04th via Season of Mist. Pre-order here
