Veil Of Maya have announced their decision to go on hiatus, scrapping all of their planned touring for the time being. A statement issued by the progressive metalcore band reads as follows:
“We have made the difficult decision to have Veil Of Maya. go on hiatus and we will not be playing any of the upcoming festivals or tours.
We apologize to our fans and appreciate everyone’s support over the years. This break is necessary for us to reassess our future, and we hope you understand. When the time feels right, we’ll update you on what’s next for Veil Of Maya
We will be back.
Thank you again”
News of this hiatus follows a challenging run as headliners of the recently relaunched ‘The Summer Slaughter Tour‘ — a bill which struggled to fill venues and was plagued with online backlash due to a lack of veteran death metal bands and more on the bill, among other issues.
As for Veil Of Maya‘s planned co-headlining run with Signs Of The Swarm, the latter outfit are scrambling for a replacement, stating:
“We’re sure you’ve seen by now that @veilofmayaofficial are on hiatus and won’t be joining us for our tour with @varialspa and @tothegraveau anymore. FEAR NOT! The @pinsandknucklesmerch @facesofdeathtour WILL go on.
We’re currently in discussions with @avocadobooking and other possible artists on how to make the tour the best it can be and would appreciate anyone holding onto their tickets and faith that we will deliver an amazing tour for you. If you were considering picking any up, it would be hugely appreciated!
We’ll keep you updated as soon as we can.”
