Enslaved has cancelled their previously announced North American tour with Keep Of Kalessin and Swallow The Sun. The following statement has been issued:

"It is with great regret that Enslaved has to announce the cancellation of the North American Vertebrae tour, scheduled for May 2009. At the heart of the issue lies a tour that was hard to get together in the first place so we've decided to let the whole tour be cancelled and start working on setting up a new North American tour all the way from scratch again.

"Our sincere apologies to all the fans that were ready to come out to these shows, but rest assured... we are working day and night on setting up the new tour that will replace these dates."
