Swedish black metallers MARDUK have issued the following update:

"After the visa problem that forced MARDUK to miss out on the Blackenedfest [with MAYHEM] in the States, we can now bring you news that vocalist Mortuus has now received his visa. So all problems are now sorted out for the future. After this temporary setback for the band, promoters, fans and everybody involed we are delighted to bring you the news that MARDUK will be performing in the USA during August. The band will be doing a few selected shows."
