Sumerian/The Faceless had to pay $15,000 to buy onto that Meshuggah tour. At least, that's how much that spot on the tour was at one point. That money goes to Meshuggah and their rider, BUT after a while The Faceless gets big enough that they get paid to tour and don't have to worry about buyons. I am pretty sure that for example, they got a decent guarantee for the Atheist tour and so fourth. All tours have different terms. Some tours don't require buyons at all.
As for AngraFan, even the bigger metal bands don't get free international travel for touring. They have to pay for that shit and hope the venues give them a good enough guarantee (and don't get me started on European booking... it's even more of a circus than it is here. Many bands buy onto tours AND are forced to cover travel expenses and they don't see a dime. Bands in the US get it lucky!) to offset those flight costs. Touring is way more expensive than people think, but the mentality is that if you keep at it long enough it pays off (which it does!).

It came from the Atlanta Metal Forum. The masq representative posts tours there before they're "officially" announced.
And I will fucking be there. This tour is so amazing. My favorite albums that actually weren't from 2009 but didn't get into this year were Cynic - Traced in Air and BTBAM - Colors. And now it's a tour.

ro bands come here all the time (take the bands that play PPUSA) and that get poor turnouts all over the country. So I think Tribunal concerns are valid there.

You all misunderstood me. All I am saying is that all the costs are taken into account before the tour, including international travel. If they can sell enough shows to offset all the costs, they will do the tour. So yeah, in theory the band is paying for the costs... But it's all being "split up between every promoter"... It's the promoter's money that is paying for it after all.

That local show at the Masquerade has now been moved to Jan. 2nd, according to a friend in one of the bands, so it's looking more and more like this is a Done Deal.

i understood what you were saying, but it's a pretty substantial amount of money for ANY band to put up in advance to tour overseas where you are not completely 100% in control of things. it's a risk that some bands are willing to take personally and other bands have labels that front the money and take the risk for them.
we were told how much money we would make per show and also and budget of what would be expected of us to cover for the tour itself (bus, driver, etc etc). we would have come home with some money, but the risk was far too much for me.

The bigger the band, the more in control they are... and the airfare money becomes less substantial... But I see your point.

Fuck I better not be in Florida.
And according to lambgoat:
1/9 Atlanta, GA @ The Masquerade
1/11 Houston, TX @ Meridian
1/22 Louisville, KY @ Headliners
1/25 Cleveland, OH @ Peabody's Downunder
1/28 Boston, MA @ House Of Blues
1/31 Philadelphia, PA @ Trocadero
2/1 Baltimore, MD @ Sonar
2/6 Charlotte, NC @ The Fillmore
1/28 Boston, MA @ House Of Blues
Haven't been to the House of Blues yet. Perfect chance to check it out, REALLY want to see this. I'd probably even be able to pull off catching the train & not having to pay for parking if I left before the end of BTBAM...
Two days before Epica. January's packed, but this has quickly risen on the list of priorities. Should be awesome if the date's legit.
