"Crematory has to cancel the show at this year's Wacken Open Air because of a decease in the family of guitarist Matze. The Wacken Headquarter shows understanding and agrees to reschedule the performance to the next year. See you at Wacken Open Air 2014 with songs from our new studio album."

Suidakra, who released their eleventh studio album 'Eternal Defiance' earlier this year, will play at Wacken for the sixth time now.
