MACHINE MEN Issues Statement On EARTHSHAKER ROADSHOCK Tour Cancellation

Finnish melodic metal act MACHINE MEN has issued the following statement regarding the cancellation of the Earthshaker Roadshock tour — featuring FINNTROLL, TAROT, DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER, AFTER FOREVER, MACHINE MEN and ALL ENDS — following Friday night's concert (May 4) in Nürnberg, Germany:

"Unfortunately the rest of the tour is cancelled. We played the last gig in Nürnberg, Germany last Friday. We want to thank all people who came to see us and Earthshaker fest for supporting. The tour was organized so bad that it was impossible to do all the gigs. Three times hurray for a great Metallysee Agency, Hurray, Hurray, Hurray. They should start to do something else — growing carrots would be good thing, thank you and rock off!"

Video footage of MACHINE MEN performing at Tavastia in Helsinki, Finland on March 24, 2007 has been posted at YouTube.

MACHINE MEN's new album, "Circus of Fools", recently entered the Finnish chart at position No. 8. The group's "No Talk without the Giant" single debuted on the Finnish chart at position No. 2. A video for the song can be viewed at this location.
