\"\"<\/a>Swedish death metal legends HYPOCRISY<\/strong>, have been forced to sit out their upcoming North American tour this May due to reasons beyond their control.\u00a0The band members had received their visa approvals and everything was going as scheduled, until the embassy let them know that the earliest they could pick up their visas, get them stamped and so on, wasn’t until late June at the earliest. A regular procedure that would normally take just a few days to sort, takes much longer at the moment due to that current workload Homeland Security is experiencing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we were getting ready to go get our visas stamped and ready for the tour we were informed that the earliest we could go initially was sometime in July,\u201d explains guitarist\/vocalist Peter<\/strong> T\u00e4gtgren.<\/strong> \u201cWe then immediately continued to call them, got the label to help with some letters, and put our lawyer to work etc. The best that got us was an appointment in late June. This is a HUGE blow to us, to our fans and everyone who has supported HYPOCRISY<\/strong> in North America. Sometimes there are battles you can\u2019t win, and this is one of them. We will be back, I can promise that!\u201d<\/p>\n

The trek was also initially set to feature Brazilian brothers in death KRISIUN<\/strong>, Belgian gore-grinders ABORTED<\/strong>, and technical-melodic-death-masters ARSIS, <\/strong>as well as AUTUMN\u2019S END<\/strong> and STARKILL<\/strong> on select shows. The tour will continue as previously scheduled at this time minus HYPOCRISY<\/strong> and ABORTED<\/strong> (new tour admat attached).<\/p>\n
