Official Deicide Press Release 2/5/2009

RE: Blabbermouth.net

It has come to our attention that for reasons unknown, allegedly objective metal news outlet Blabbermouth.net has refused to post any form of story or dates in regards to the Deicide/Vital Remains/Order of Ennead/Adrift US Tour scheduled to begin in New York on Sunday, February 9.

Though we in Deicide, all involved bands, our attorney, Century Media Records, and Earache Records have on numerous occasions submitted the tour dates for the express benefit of our fans, and said dates have been confirmed and posted on all of our My Space accounts as well as industry standard tour website Pollstar, a person or persons at Blabbermouth have seen fit to effectively blacklist news of this major tour, to the clear detriment of our fans and the metal community in general.  If Blabbermouth subjectively, maliciously and without any recourse or repercussion conducts themselves in this fashion towards one of the most popular and visible extreme metal bands of the last two decades, how can they be recognized as a reliable and credible outlet for any metal news? 

How can you, the fan, the reader, who expects to receive proper notice of ALL relevant metal news, free from improper opinion, color, or judgment, place your trust in a website and in individuals so clearly biased against segments of the metal community?

Deicide feels untowardly slighted and singled out by this glaring and purposeful omission, and implores you, the fan, the reader, to rabidly request that Blabbermouth post not only these Deicide tour dates, but any and all relevant metal news items.  And MOST DEFINITELY, a Deicide US Tour is worthy news for ALL fans of metal.

Come out to the shows, horns up, and show Blabbermouth.net that Deicide fans are stronger than petty bullshit...

See you on the road.
