Unofficial or not, that's one cool line-up.

Aren't you girls too melodic for a package like that? :D

[Uphobia]

Yeah, we are the most melodic band among these bands, but rest asure we kick as much ass (or maybe even more) during our gigs as the other bands ;)

[Slasher]

official ;P:

[Uphobia]

Cool, will check it out today!

[WhoCares]

no spanish dates? :(

[Uphobia]

Not that I know off, but not al shows have been confirmed, and I've heard rumours about possible gigs in Italy and Denmark as well so perhaps Spain will follow?

[WhoCares]

here's hoping so... otherwise we may have to do a roadtrip...

[WhoCares]

We'll host, but you'll need to drag your dutch asses down to Spain :P

Edited the openingspost.....some dates confirmed.

[Uphobia]

New dates! Check the openings post..

[Nouk]

Wow, that looks cool indeed!!! Need a coffee-roadie?? :D

[brianwilliams82]

I bet our Irish friend Bwian a.k.a. thevalbomb will be quite pleased with the 3 Irish dates .

You'd think so, wouldn't you! But I'm actually in Paris now. I have my graduation on the 8th (I think) of September, if the shows were a week earlier I could probably make one of them.

I'd definately be at the Paris show, if there is one! Or if it's a weekend I could take a bus trip to "the land that should actually be underwater" to see Detonation and rob Tinus's metal collection.

No shit, we finally visit Ireland, and you're in frikkin' Paris...But as far as I know there will be at least 1 and maybe 2 shows in France this tour....

[¢HÅا]

I will definity try and go to the Manchester date :D

[brianwilliams82]

Actually I probably will be at one of the Irish dates after all. Beware.

[Uphobia]

Added 2 dates....
More dates very soon!

Edit: added a shitload of other dates.

[Nouk]

Wow!!! That is REALLY cool!! And more Dutch dates :D

[¢HÅا]

Any idea on when the UK tickets shouid go on sale ?:D

edit: Also will t shirts cds of Detonation be available to buy?

[Uphobia]

About the tickets...no idea!

We are working on a new t-shirt design, probably a special tour shirt. We also arranged that we'll be selling the new CD during the tour, as well as our debut....

[Uphobia]

Edit: 2 UK dates added, that wraps up the UK part of the tour. Also changed the name of the venue of the Cork(IRL) show...

[WhoCares]

almost a whole solid month of touring europe, and no dates in France or Spain :(

[Uphobia]

I know...we were hoping for some dates in France and Spain, hopefully next tour!

[Uphobia]

Poster from the UK dates...why is our logo this small!:(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v163/desidoria/Koen/decapside1web1gr.jpg

[Beardy]

why is our logo this small!:(
Apparently it's being promoted as a co-headline tour between Decapitated and Gorerotted which is why their logos are so much bigger than yours and dam's...

It's my mate Sal putting on the Liverpool show so I'll see you there :D

[¢HÅا]

Shame as Gorerotted are pretty crap to be honest :(

[Uphobia]

I was just being a bit cynic ;)
We'll play every show as 2nd band, perfect place on the bill if you ask me...

[Beardy]

They're great fun live though :D ... they were superb at Fuck The Commerce earlier in the year.

To be honest I think Decapitated are the worst band on the bill... not so much bad just quite boring, although I'm interested to see how the new singer works out.

[Uphobia]

I liked Gorerotted when I saw them a few years ago, never seen Decapitated though, only heard 1 song so far...

[MadTinus]

BTW, did you know the gig on the 25th in Patronaat, Haarlem will be a festival ("Heavy in Haarlem") where also Vader, Rotting Christ, Anorexia Nervosa and Divine Empire (ex-Malevolent Creation members) will play?

No?

Well, now you do then :).

[Beardy]

The first album's great, the second one has some very good songs but is massively overproduced (the kick-drums are ridiculously clicky!!) but the last album is just another death metal album really - and they've been quite dull live when I've seen them. I'm hoping the new singer will give them a kick up the arse in terms of their live performance because they'll have soemthing to prove... any idea if Sceptic/Dies Irae's Hiro is playing 2nd guitar with them again?

Still, the rest of the lineup is great so it'll be a bonus to me if Decap are any good :D

Don't know.
Yeah, I think the line-up is pretty interesting for all kinds of metal fans....

[Uphobia]

[MadTinus]

Villeurbane/Lyon isn't really South France, is it? More like, in the middle, or..?

[WhoCares]

yeah it's pretty much in the middle

[MadTinus]

I remember we always passed Lyon on our way to our holiday address, in either South France or Spain ;).

It'd be great if the one blank date would become a Swedish one! Since it's in between Norway and Denmark, that's the most likely option I suppose..

[Uphobia]

cool to see you back on tour over europe.
Hope to see you in berlin (around 400 km far away), but why you don´t play in middle germany :-(

greets
hein

[Uphobia]

Yeah, I know...if it was up to us we would have spread the German show dates all over the country...but as a band you never determine the actual dates and places unfortunately, blame the booking agency! ;)

[Goatfucker]

Speaking of which, check this Gorerotted forum topic (http://gorerotted.proboards34.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1123243984).

[hein]

from the gorerotted forum:
question: "Should we wear corpsepaint when we play Norway"
answer: "If you guys are hardcore, you'd do it nude. Or in some sort of a bright neon colored spandex jump suit sporting a jimmy jones patch. "

I think you´ll have a funny tour :-)
enjoy.

[Uphobia]

Haha, I think so too :D

Edit: Goatfucker, you're from DAM right? Did you notice that the Frontline/Gent has Ragnarok on the bill instead of you guys? It's on their website...

Well it's going to be an interesting zigzag up and down and up and down etc.

Thanks for letting me know. On that note, these
wiseguys (http://www.wiseguys.plus.com/gigs.html) & goatfucker promos (http://www.goatfucker.co.uk/index.php?page=gigs&) (no relation) look a bit funny.
But
arcane promo (http://www.arcanepromotions.co.uk/present.htm) are doing the UK part of the tour as you probably know and they're usually pretty reliable.

[Goatfucker]

Whose website? I can only find the Decapitated/Gorerotted/Ragnarok/Detonation listing on a couple of mag and webzine sites like Aardshock and metal.it or something.

http://www.thefrontline.be/ , but it now says "Decapitated and Gorerotted" only, both our bands are gone now from their agenda ;)

It sure is...not very logical these routes.

[brianwilliams82]

Will you have copies of the new cd for sale at the shows?

[MadTinus]

Will you have copies of the new cd for sale at the shows?Yes, we will. The CD's should be delivered to us before or at the start of the tour.

[brianwilliams82]

Is Tinus coming out of cold storage for the whole tour, or is he just on the Dutch dates?

[MadTinus]

Tinus will be on the Dutch dates and on the London date and that's it..

[Uphobia]

Tour poster!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v163/desidoria/Koen/5c14ab55.jpg

[brianwilliams82]

So you guys are playing second? I really hope I can make one of these gigs. Damn job interviews to hell!

And why is Vader's web address on that poster?

[Nouk]

You are ALWAYS playing second right, on every night of the tour? Good to know ;)

[Uphobia]

Yeah, we are playing as 2nd band every night, and Vader's address is on the poster, because the management of Vader arranged this tour for us.

[Uphobia]

Good news and bad news...

the good news is that we will be playing about 40/45 minutes each show. :hbang32en
The bad news is that the new album is a bit delayed, which means we won't be able to sell it the first couple of shows, hopefully we'll have them on the 10th of September... :bang:

[Nouk]

40/45 minutes is VERY cool but that thing about the CD's really sucks!! Why/how did they get delayed?

[Uphobia]

Well, I talked to Hervé last night, and for what I know it will now be delivered this friday at the Rotterdam show together with all the other merchandise. :banana:

[Nouk]

:emot-part

[Gods Puke]

I was there yesterday in Rotterdam. Killer show! You guys had the best sound ever in the Baroeg! You were the best band, together with Gorerotted! See you next time!

[MadTinus]

Mercy bookoo :). Coming to Haarlem as well?

[MadTinus]

What was Dam's set like?I saw them both in Arnhem and Rotterdam and they were pretty good. Pretty original stuff and also pretty good instrumental performance. Musically not really my kind of thing, but they delivered it with conviction. Don't ask for names of songs though ;).

[WhoCares]

hey 'tinus might be a good idea to update the tourdates that the guys are NOT playing...

[MadTinus]

hey 'tinus might be a good idea to update the tourdates that the guys are NOT playing...I will! ;)

[¢HÅا]

So detonation will not be playing Manchester? The guy from arcane on blackmetal.co.uk said they will be joining from the Manchester date i hope so because that is the only reason am going :sad:

[WhoCares]

They are planning to play Manchester... AFAIK... they are doing everything they can to play that date. (see the other thread)

[MadTinus]

So detonation will not be playing Manchester? The guy from arcane on blackmetal.co.uk said they will be joining from the Manchester date i hope so because that is the only reason am going :sad:They are indeed picking up from the Manchester date, so do go there and you'll see them :).
