In yet another episode of ‘Metal bands can’t play in Russia’, Cannibal Corpse falls victim to the artistic strain as their show is cancelled minutes before they are supposed to go on.

The promoter came out on stage and said the show was cancelled for technical reasons, although no specific details were given. An eyewitness report said:

“Everything was fine, and all the equipment had already been set up on stage. However, a few minutes prior to the concert’s scheduled start, the organizer came out and told the audience that the show was canceled,”.

Sadly this seems to happen all too often now, with Behemoth and Marilyn Manson also having to cancel shows this year due to religious outcry, with the former even being imprisoned and deported from Russia. We feel for the Russian metalheads, who we know have no intention of blasphemy or harm, and just want to enjoy the music.

A small video was made below documenting Cannibal Corpse’s difficulties in Moscow:
