All Clanglestrim Pro-Duck-Shins 2010 shows are now cancelled, I refuse to do any
more shows on this island after yet another disappointing turn out for one of
the best Death Metal bands around right now, Dead Congregation. I'm moving on to
pastures new as of 2010, I'm not being a fallguy for a failing Underground scene
here anymore.
Another UK promoter bites the dust because of shitty turn
outs, dodgy tour agencies, mainstream orientated fans with no care for bands the
media isn't interested in and generally losing way too much cash over 5 years
for other people's entertainment. The UK "fans" are an embarrassment to a style
of music we created, the lazy-arse attitude of the many ruins it for the loyal
few who do show the required support for grass roots Metal to survive
here.
Thanks to all the bands who've played my shows / tours since 2004,
thanks to all those who have come down to support the Underground and if people
do still give a shit then all show up to Clang's swansong Erasing The UK tour
which starts a week on Thursday as that is the last thing I'm doing for UK
Metal.
My advice to anyone wanting to promote real Metal on this island
is don't do it unless you like being in debt and you thrive on stress, my advice
to foreign Underground bands wanting to play here is just don't
bother.
The UK Metal scene is dead to me, enjoy your trends, I care no
more.
GEK!!!
