Hell yes! I was in English class this morning and I saw the rumor of this tour with 2 dates, then some guy commented and posted the rumored dates and their was no Atlanta and I was so pissed. I was thinking of how I could go to the Orlando date because I usually go down there for the summer to visit my cousin. But now I don't have to worry about since there's an Atlanta date. Last time I saw them, it was the 3rd best concert ever for me so I'm really excited to see em again.

And perfect timing.....I just got Vertebrae in the mail today

no denver date... totally fucking lame
~gR~

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I have forever given up on shows

 

[~Derek~]

No Nashville date but oh well, I'll live.

 

[llamaking]

There is actually a fucking oregon date. hell yes.

 

[The Ozzman]

Of course they don't come through here.

I still need to check out Enslaved's new one

 

[Zephyrus]

I might be able to make this. Worcester that is.

 

[whiskey funeral]

[Matt]

Good, I'll probably make it to the Pearl Room show.

 

[Master_Debater]

Yes....... I didn't fully appreciate Enslaved when I saw them last.

May 19 - Orlando, FL - Backbooth

I'm there. God bless this place!

 

[Belligerent]

Good, I'll probably make it to the Pearl Room show.

We should meet up.

I'll be at this show for sure. Ive seen Enslaved 2 times at the Pearl Room so far. 1 time they opened for Dark Funeral and the second time they headlined with The Faceless. They put on a killer show and i can't wait to hear some of Vertebrae live.

The Orlando Date @ The Backbooth is going to be interesting. Very small venue.

The Orlando Date @ The Backbooth is going to be interesting. Very small venue.

I will be going. I bet anything it will not sell out. It's a VERY small venue. I can't even imagine them jamming 300 people in that venue. What's fucked up is that no show I've ever seen there sold out.

We should figure out a few heads on this site from the area that will be going & meet up there.

Dude, Mokena is like 2 hours from you

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Dude, Mokena is like 2 hours from you

Some people are born to drive & shit, but I personally would not drive two hours for a show unless it was a festival & there was some sort of plan.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Dude, Mokena is like 2 hours from you

It's like 3 hours and I'd have to go alone.
St. Louis is an hour away. really pisses me off

 

[Belligerent]

Driving is worth it to see a great show.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

7 hours + to Maryland Deathfest ftw.
