Aborted, System Divide drop off Overkill tour

Both Aborted and System Divide have dropped off Overkill's forthcoming U.S. tour, scheduled to kick off in April. Aborted has issued the following statement:

Hey eveyrone, unfortunately Aborted and System Divide has to announce that due to circumstances beyond our control we are unable to perform at the Killfest 2 tour with Overkill. However no need to worry, Aborted WILL be touring North America in April/May as scheduled on a different package, which will be announced soon. We hope you all understand and see you all in the pit to smash it up!'

The "different package" Aborted refers to is likely the Origin and Cattle Decapitation tour we recently posted about.
