Unto Others “dropped” from W.A.S.P. tour: “this came with no warning”
Portland, OR goth rockers Unto Others have announced that they’ve been “dropped” from their scheduled tour supporting W.A.S.P. this fall. “We will not be touring with W.A.S.P. this fall,” they write. “They have decided it is in their best interest to drop us from the tour. This came with no warning or room for discussion on our end, and with 7 weeks to go before the run, really leaves us with minimal time to plan a suitable alternative.”
They continue:
As I’m sure many will be left wondering why, we will tell you only the facts we know:
– W.A.S.P. told our team we never provided a marketing plan (we did, multiple times and have been working very hard promoting this tour and our new record.)
That’s it. No other reason was given. We are disappointed with this decision, we are all W.A.S.P. fans, and it’s a shame when things work out this way so we are sorry. We will get some North American dates going as soon as we can and keep you updated.
Subsequently, we have to cancel our Halloween show at Jackknife Brewing in Kelowna, BC which was routed as part of this tour.
Unto Others’ exit from the tour comes after Death Angel dropped off in August. The official reason they gave was “various unforeseen circumstances and numerous scheduling conflicts that arose,” but a since-deleted Facebook post from drummer Will Carroll also suggested inner-band tension.
Armored Saint are replacing Death Angel on the run; a replacement for Unto Others has not been announced at this time. See all dates, including an NYC show at Hammerstein Ballroom on November 16, below.
Unto Others’ third album, Never, Neverland, is out on September 20, and they’ve also been announced on the lineup of Maryland Deathfest‘s Pre-Fest on May 21 at Baltimore Soundstage, with Pentagram, Tribulation, Cancer, Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean, and Molested Divinity.
