The organizers of this year's Maryland Death Fest have written the following message on their official website:
"ROTTENNESS has been forced to cancel their appearance at MDF by the embassy in Mexico. Their visas will not be granted until this summer and the band has stated that they will play the states as soon as the paperwork allows them to. Click here to read the letter from Jaleel of ROTTENNESS explaining the situation.
As a result of this, PUTRESCENCE (Canada) will now be appearing at the fest. There have been a few minor schedule modifications to the first bands playing Saturday, so please take note.
We don't want this annoucement to alarm anyone. We're fully aware of the travel arrangements and flights of the rest of the bands scheduled to play the fest, including the overseas bands. "
