This is a message spread by CINIC Network, the one regarding MARDUK's escape from ex-USSR countries' tour. No doubts, it's a bit too late to post in my mag, but better later than never.

This is not a personal opinion but real truth. And the truth is: MARDUK ESCAPED FROM SCHEDULED TOUR THROUGH ex-USSR TERRITORY AND DONE THE BIGGEST RIP-OFF IN A HISTORY OF BLACK-METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Five glorious shows in Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were cancelled just before the beginning because these assholes were afraid to enter our countries! Thousand of fans are deceived (every show was done for minimum 800 people, and in Moscow even 2000)! Five local promoters have got about 20000 USD in minus! Speaking by phone with the promoter from Cinic Network, the organizers of tour MARDUK proclaimed: "We don't want to enter your countries we're afraid of problems on the border, we have no insurance for our equipment e.t.c."
But where the fuck were their brains when they agreed to book this tour??!!!! It is true that our countries have not the most stabilized political and economical situation, but our fans are the best and every gig for them is a gift of fate. Just remember shows of CANNIBAL CORPSE, SLAYER, DEICIDE, HYPOCRISY, CRADLE OF FILTH and others
Nobody of them was disappointed! Of course this became an insult for us, and instead of some planned Marduk shows we've done MARDUK-FUCK-OFF FESTIVALS including best local black / death metal acts. And this is not the end. Thousand of flyers will be printed. We ask every person to support us! Spread the flyers when you'll get them, spread this message! Magazines - ask for details, we need your help! Fans - don't buy their CDs, declare a boycott against them! The band which consist of clowns and insurance agents can't exist anymore!!!"
