ZIMMERS HOLE Cancel North American Fall Tour
Vancouver’s most punishing metal export, ZIMMERS HOLE, have
unfortunately had to cancel their upcoming fall North American tour with
Sigh due to reasons beyond their control. Jed Simon (guitars) further
states: “Crappy news for our fans and promoters today. It is with deep
regret and totally un-metal sorrow that we must cancel our upcoming
North American tour with Sigh. Events beyond our control have made this
impossible for us to do. Immigration issues are at the crux of the
matter, and as we’re sure you’ll understand, no further explanation is
really needed there apart from our sincerest apologies to the people who
have been waiting for us to finally come to the U.S. We will be honoring
our western Canadian dates, beginning September 23rd in Winnipeg, and
continuing through October 6th in Kamloops.
All is not lost though, there are other U.S. tour plans in the works at
this moment. We hope to have an announcement for you in the very near
future. Our thanks to the fans for your patience, to the promoters/clubs
for all your hard work. To Sigh, Unexpect and their respective crews
much love and respect. We’ll miss you out there. With love, respect and
sagging metal spikes.”
The group recently shot a new video for the album’s title track, “When
You Were Shouting At the Devil, We Were In League With Satan,” with
renowned director Ryan Short (Himsa) and it’s definitely not your
average promotional video clip as Byron Stroud (bass) states: “Working
with Ryan on our new video was amazing. We managed to pull some favors
from friends in the film industry and they supplied us with a shit load
of fire and explosions. Good times were had by all.”
The stunning new clip is now online. Click below to check it out.
