Suffocation Busless

"The story goes like this in this exact order of circumstances: Four months ago we locked in tour bus arrangements with ******** ******* ******* to drive SUFFOCATION and HYPOCRISY on the U.S. tour. Three days before the tour was to begin, the bus company pulled out leaving us to scramble with no replacement.
