AMORAL Forced To Cancel Cracow Show

Finnish metallers AMORAL have issued the following update:

"We are sorry to announce that we will not be playing in Cracow two days from now, on Tuesday the 27th.

Yesterday our singer Ari slipped in a stairway and hurt his chest badly, among other places. Today, during our soundcheck in Prague, the pain got unbearable and he was taken to see a doctor. This was just an hour before our showtime, meaning he wouldn't be able to do tonight's show.

Since we were already there, our gear all set up, we decided to play a short instrumental set without Ari. Tuomas from BEFORE THE DAWN stepped up and sang 'Pusher' with us, which he learned just 30 minutes before the gig! A huge thank you to Tuomas for helping us out, and also to the amazing crowd, who were more than understanding and supportive of our situation. You guys rule! We can't wait to get back and play you a proper show.

We've decided, given the doctor's advice, to let Ari rest for the next two days. Unfortunately this means that the Cracow gig is a no-go. We hate cancelling shows more than anything, but this is absolutely nessessary to make sure he won't get worse and that we won't have to cancel the rest of the tour completely.

We were really looking forward to the Cracow show, as we've never played in Poland before. We hope you understand and enjoy Before The Dawn's, Amorphis' great gigs.

If all goes well and Ari gets better fast, we'll be joining the tour again in Budapest on Wednesday the 28th. We'll keep you posted."
