Hello everyone,

The band has been rehearsing at our sub-freezing jam spot for 2 weeks solid. We have no heat in the place, so we're trying to rip scales with fingers that won't move. If we can play these songs, in these temperatures, then we should just fine on a heated stage!
There are some Canadian and USA headlining shows coming up, so we want to be prepared. Also, we are throwing in a few old songs that have never been done before. One of the songs we haven't played since 2001. Hopefully that will make our long time fans happy on this tour. I think we will also be testing 3 new tracks from our new unreleased album. We get to hang out with Sacrifice at the Winnipeg Metal Festival, so that is going to be a highlight of the year for me. Sacrifice was one of the first thrash shows that I ever went to as a 14 year old kid and that's what inspired me to play metal.

So we'll be headlining in Canada and out to the East Coast. We'll hook up with the Symphony X Tour and tour the USA (a few Canadian shows too!). Then we'll jump on a plane in Boston and tour in Japan!

I also want to say hello to all of our friends on myspace. We just passed the 30,000 mark! We should have a demo track up for everyone to hear in April!

We'll see everybody out on the road soon!

Metal!

I've been anxiously awaiting the April 4th gig in Cambridge MA, but I just had a question. Do you have any idea how long of a set IE will get? Symphony X is pretty cool, not much a fan of Epica, but I'd just like to know what to expect from the band I'm really going to see.
 
I hope to God they come back to Vancouver sometime this year. We love IE out here!!! Van is one of the biggest metal cities in Canada and they hardly ever play out here!!!!!!!!!!!
