Napalm Death bassist Shane Embury to miss fall tour

When Napalm Death kick off their U.S. tour with Municipal Waste and Sick Of It All this week, the grindcore legends will be without longtime bassist, Shane Embury. Embury comments: "Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, I will not be able to grind on the US tour with Sick of It All and Municipal Waste. Driving the bass bulldozer will be Vernon Blake, long-time friend and veteran grindcore/hardcore dealer with his Rigid Records label."
