I drove to Des Moines, IA, in April to see Into Eternity because I missed the chance to see them with Amorphis in Omaha. After a 4.5 hour drive, I arrived there only to find out the show was cancelled due to the band being sick. Apparently this was posted somewhere on the website and I just overlooked it.
Fast-forward a few months, I wanted to try and see them again, this time in Omaha. I called the venue the day before the show to make sure everything was cool, and the manager told me he spoke to the promoter that Monday and everything was good to go. So I drove 3.5 hours to Omaha, chilled out for a while, drove to the venue, and it was fucking cancelled again! This time it was because Hate Eternal's bus broke down outside of town. The rest of the bands were in town, but they decided to cancel because they didn't think anyone would show up if the headliner wasn't playing. Well, I was going to.
My boyfriend and I really like IE, and we've now driven hundreds of miles to see them, but we haven't seen them once. It wouldn't have been so bad if we could have just driven back home on the nights of the shows, but we'd already booked hotels. We still really like the band, but we don't think we're going to travel to see them again. We're pretty disappointed.
