Dragged Into Sunlight recently announced their first North American since 2016 with Mizmor and now someone other than Meth, because they got kicked off the tour. According to Meth, their previous association with Prosthetic Records is a problem for Dragged Into Sunlight, who they've previously publicly ripped for allegedly not paying them royalties. Dragged Into Sunlight has not commented on kicking Meth off the tour.
"With apologies to our fans who had brought tickets and were looking forward to seeing us supporting DIS on their US tour DIS have decided to kick us off the tour; purely on the basis our last album being released by Prosthetic Records, who they don't like.
"Our album Shame was released by Prosthetic in February 2024 which DIS's manager cannot have been unaware of when he directly offered the tour to us (bypassing our booking agent). We then proceeded to confirm the tour, send through promo assests to DIS's team and subsequently be announced on the tour over a month ago.
"We cannot fathom why now out of the blue they have discovered we were on a label they do not want to be associated with. A label they're aware we're not even on anymore. This just shows very poor professionalism, lax standards and an inability to perform even minuscule due dilligence on the parts of DIS, and their team Tone Management.
"This has obviously had a ripple effect on our finances and we need all the help we can get with funding our European tour. If you'd like to support please checkout our Hello Merch store. We look forward to seeing you all in Europe. At this time, there are no plans to tour in the US for the foreseeable future."
Dragged Into Sunlight is coming to make North American an even more miserable place than it already is with their first tour since 2016. The trek will kick off with the band's appearance at Maryland Death Fest on May 24 and will conclude on June 14 in Providence, RI. All dates will be opened by Mizmor and… someone else.
