Indonesian power metal band Lord Symphony have officially pulled out of the Stormrider Heavy Metal Festival in Perth this month.
The quintet released a video statement citing visa and political reasons for their withdrawal.
Lead singer Monk Bodhi said: "We are very sorry and sad to the political issues and other circumstances, we cannot join and participate."
They will not be replaced on the bill, but rather the local acts opening the show will have their sets extended.
The event will take place on Saturday May 23 at The Civic Hotel and will host a slew of heavy metal acts including LORD, Silent Knight, Harlott and many more.
