Godflesh had planned on touring the U.S. for select dates this month, but the U.S. government has decided otherwise. The band has reportedly had difficulty obtaining visas in time to get to the U.S. for the start of the tour. Oakland's Metropolitan Opera House stated "looks like Godflesh didn't get their visas. Thankx for keep our country secure government guys... [later] confirmed, Godflesh will not be performing on October 26."
