October 17th, 2008 - Stu checks in on the way to Mexico!
The tour has been going better than expected, and we want to thank everyone who's come out and shown support! We've recently had the opportunity to play with a great variety of bands on our off-dates. In Louisville, it was cool partying it up with Suicide Silence and seeing our fellow Canadians in Beneath the Massacre again. We also got a chance to fulfill a childhood dream by opening for Testament in Syracuse, where it was awesome seeing Solient Green as well. We're also super-stoked to be playing with death metal pioneers Deicide in Mexico, where we haven't been since we played the Monterrey Metal Fest in 2005 with Danzig, W.A.S.P. and Motorhead.
After the Mexican onslaught, we'll return to America to continue the tour with Iced Earth. I can't wait to find out how many bad guys Barlow's nabbed. (He's still not onto us, so shhh...) Again, we can't thank Sean Maier enough for helping us out on this tour. He's a phenomenal guitarist, and I'm sure you will hear more of him in the coming years. Check him out in his band Blessed By A Broken Heart or his ripping solo shit on MySpace. He's doing really well with us, but it's still weird not sharing the stage with Tim. Rest assured, we will be back at 100% soon.
All of this would be in vain without our fans supporting us every night. It's been a long road so far, and it's a good feeling to know that we have fans supporting us in both the good times and the not-so-good. Thank you again for your undying support!
