MARDUK Drummer Breaks Arm In Fight; Band Cancels European Dates

MARDUK drummer Emil Dragutinovic had his arm broken during a fight with several men Saturday night (Feb. 12) (Emil was reportedly trying to protect himself from a swinging bat) and will spend the next few weeks recuperating. Consequently, all of the band's previously announced shows for February/March have been cancelled, but will be rescheduled as soon as more information about the injury is received. MARDUK's ninth full-length album, "Plague Angel", is scheduled for U.S. release on March 8. The album was issued in Europe in late November via Blooddawn/Regain Records.
