Headlining in France

Notre Dame de Grav., Arcade

Hey everybody, Alex here again, checking in from France. Since the No Mercy festivals wrapped up with a very successful gig in Tilburg, we've been headlining the remainder of the tour with support from Kataklysm and Aborted(for the French and Spanish dates). We've had some really brutal gigs, with the London gig being a standout with over 800 maniacs in attendance. Stage diver dodging was the theme of that particular show! Definitely one of our best gigs in London ever. Our labelmates Gorerotted were also on the bill, and they had a brutal set. The Dublin and Bradford gigs also had rabid fans, and so far all of the French gigs have had brutal crowd reactions as well. Last night we played a festival in Woippy, France, which was really killer. Our friends Loudblast and Severe Torture were also on the bill yesterday, so it was cool hanging out with those guys again. Today we are in Notre Dame, and we've heard the show is already sold out, so it should be another good one. We want to say a huge thank you to all of the fans who came out to the No Mercy festivals and to our headlining tour, you guys have really made this tour rule. See the rest of you soon! Alex

No Mercy in Switzerland

Z7 Pratteln, Switzerland

Hey everyone, we're in Switzerland today, and we have just finished the show for the night. So far the festivals have been amazing, and tonight was no execption. All the bands on the tour are brutal as fuck, and they are definitely tough acts to follow, but we seem to be doing well so far. Tonight's gig was in one of Switzerland's best venues, the Z7 club. It's a huge place, and it's perfect for a festival tour like this. Tomorrow we'll be in Milan at a club called Alcatraz. I don't think we've ever played that venue before, I guess we'll see if we remember it when we get there. It should be a killer show, all the Italian shows we've done in the past have been rippers. OK, that's all for now, we'll check in later in the tour. Thanks to everybody who's come to the No Mercy festivals so far, you rule! Alex
