Terror has cancelled their planned date in the Czech Republic in solidarity with Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe who was arrested there and accused of manslaughter in the death of a fan. The members of Terror posted this statement to explain:

We feel obligated to stand up for Randy Blythe. This situation seems to be taken too lightly. Randy comes from punk and hardcore roots. He still supports underground music and has always supported Terror - even singing on stage alongside us when we play Richmond. This hits really close to home for us having members of the band and our crew from the hometown of Lamb Of God. We love our Czech fans very much and have amazing shows there, but we need to "stick tight" to our friend Randy, which is why we have chosen to cancel the show. As a band that could easily be in this same position at any given show, we don't think we can play there and act like this is OK - it isn't.
