Deicide Cancel Australian Tour

So, Australia, because international bands love us so much, another has decided to cancel a tour with little to no explanation as to why. Deicide's Australian tour which was to take place in December has been canceled, with only the following announcement from promoters to go by: "We were advis​ed that the band decided that they do not want to tour Austr​alia this year."

Those of you fans out there who happened to purchase a ticket, can take it back to the point of purchase for a refund.

This pisses me off personally, and marks the 3rd band I can recall (minus Cavalera Conspiracy getting booted off the Judas Priest lineup) to cancel a tour that I may actually have wanted to attend. Although Lacuna Coil are to return next year for the overpriced suckfest that is Soundwave, it's not a headlining show like they were originally coming for.
The fact that all of these cancellations carried with them little to no explanation as to why they decided not to come is also frustrating. I just hope that bands and promoters lift their game in the future.

According to their Myspace blog, the band had never actually confirmed that they were to tour Australia, and it was their promoter who fucked up.
