Das L.A.-Hardcore-Outfit hat via Facebook bekanntgegeben, dass sie die für den 20. August angesetzte Show im tschechischen Ostrava absagen werden.
Als Grund gaben TERROR die andauernde Inhaftierung von LAMB OF GOD-Frontmann Randy Blythe an. Die Absage soll die Solidarität mit Blythe verdeutlichen und wird in dem offiziellen Statement mit den Worten "Free Randy Blythe" beschlossen.
Das offizielle Statement der Band lautet wie folgt:
"Terror is going to cancel their show in the Czech Republic this month. We feel obligated to stand up for Randy Blythe. This situation seems to be taken too lightly . Randy comes from punk and hardcore roots, just like Terror. He still supports underground music and has always supported Terror - even singing on stage alongside us when we play Richmond. This hits really close to home for us having m
embers of the band and our crew from the hometown of Lamb Of God.
We love our Czech fans very much and have amazing shows there, but we need to "stick tight" to our friend Randy, which is why we have chosen to cancel the show. As a band that could easily be in this same position at any given show, we don't think we can play there and act like this is OK - it isn't.
This is bigger than a hashtag or a clever t-shirt - we as a community need to take action and speak up. Free Randy Blythe."
