John Finberg exposé / Angra, PowerGlove, Hammerfall and more drop promoter

Following yesterdays exposé from MetalSucks, eight bands clarified their position, during the day, that were either no longer working with, or had stopped working in the past with, promoter John Finberg.

As reported yesterday, Nightwish, Amorphis, Delain, Amaranthe, Battle Beast, Sonata Arctica, Swallow the Sun and Power Glove all issued social media statements, while Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum quietly removed his name from their websites.

Today, that growing list has been joined by Angra, Brittney Slayes and Hammerfall, while last night Epica released an Instagram story, stating that they had stopped working with him in 2014.

The MetalSucks story contains allegations of sexual harassment, bullying, racism, misogyny and threats of violence.

There has been no official response from Finberg to these allegations.
