Belphegor cancels North American tour

Official press release: Due to a critical and immediate family emergency, Belphegor have been forced to cancel the planned headlining North American "Voices From The Dark" tour with Rotting Christ (Greece), Beheaded (Malta), and Svart Crown (France), which was scheduled to launch September 24th in New York City. Belphegor frontman and guitarist Helmuth Lehner has issued the following statement:

"After fighting many months now (the last 4 months have been terrible), my mother is at the end. Her body is decaying more and more and will not survive the next weeks (maybe days) or will fall in coma soon. I will not risk being away at this time."

"Her body is decaying more and more and will not survive the next weeks" Sounds like a concept album idea for the next Belphegor album
