Las Vegas, Nevada-based post-hardcore band ESCAPE THE FATE has pulled out of the remaining dates on its European tour with BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE because bassist Max Green has entered an undisclosed rehab for drug and alcohol addiction.

"Max needs his friends and family by his side, so we're not gonna leave him," says lead singer Craig Mabbitt. "Max is one of my best friends and has never done this band wrong in any way shape or form.

"It's very honorable of him to admit he has a problem and wants to seek help for the longevity of his life and this band. I'm so sorry to the fans, but so proud of Max. He needs our love and support through this rough time in his life, so let's give it to him. Our soldiers never let us down and we will be back to play Europe and the two London dates very soon. We love you guys."

ESCAPE THE FATE will headline a string of European dates in early 2011. Tickets for the two London headline shows that were scheduled for December 6 and December 7 at the Islington Academy will be honored when these shows are rescheduled early next year.

ESCAPE THE FATE's self-titled album sold 18,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 25 on The Billboard 200 chart. The video for the CD's first single, "Issues", can be viewed below. In the horror movie-influenced clip, the group is being attacked by a small village of people, but things aren't as they seem. Mabbitt explains, "Slowly through the video, you begin to realize the town's people are the ones that are crazy and insane. We're just a group of four rad dudes playing in a church." The Paul R. Brown-directed (STONE SOUR, SLIPKNOT, MÖTLEY CRÜE, KORN, GODSMACK, AVENGED SEVENFOLD) video's concept was Mabbitt's, who wanted a graphic novel type of feel to it.

Escape the Fate have come a long way since their formation way back when, having gone through the typical route of what band’s usually go through; line-up changes, label swaps, relentless touring, you name it they surpassed it. But through it all Escape the Fate had come together as a whole after claiming Craig Mabbit (blessthefall, and The Word Alive) as their leading front man. From this point onward this so-called war they so declared on 2008’s “This War Is Ours”, has become a whole another level of what needs to be achieved.

With that said, Escape the Fate just released their self-titled efforts as most bands have done as of lately going the “self-titled” route. But as far as this album goes, Escape the Fate has claimed that this album is their heaviest to date. Bassist/vocalist Max Green comments on saying that "This record is the cure for the modern day music epidemic; we are wiping the slate clean and re-writing rock music as you know it." Having said that the band went on to work with producer Don Gilmore who’s worked with such acts as Linkin Park, Bullet for my Valentine, and Hollywood Undead so this album rounds off to sounding a lot like those artists with minor indications of other acts hidden in the mix.

Like take "Massacre", for instance, the intro sounds an awful like Bring Me the Horizon’s "Chelsea Smile", as far as the intro is concerned. "Issues", along with "Massacre" are the pair of singles to come off this release and both go hand in hand with one another. "Issues", portrays that hard rock melody with heavy guitar riffs that keeps the music flowing right on through. Other tunes worth mentioning includes "Zombie Dance", "Gorgeous Nightmare", "City of Sin", "Prepare Your Weapon", and "The Aftermath (The Guillotine, Part III)". All of these comprise of bloodshed, melodies, harmony, yet remain very heartfelt and true. In short, as Escape the Fate put it, “This war has been won”.
