Dismember and Grave tour cancelled

The Dismember and Grave West Coast tour, slated to kick off this week, has been cancelled "due to financial reasons." The tour had essentially been doomed from the start, as original headliner Entombed bowed out earlier this month, soon followed by support act The Absence. Abysmal Dawn was later added to the tour and upon learning of the cancellation, Abysmal Dawn issued the following statement: "For whatever reasons our tour with Dismember and Grave has been cancelled. This situation is completely out of our control and we hope that people understand and come out to support us next time. Words cannot express how frustrate we feel at the moment after taking this tour on such short notice."
