The Hamburg show is pure COB, so yeah you should roughly get 3 times more COB that way lol

Yep the shows in Hamburg and Saarbrücken are CoB headlining and Austria's "The Sorrow" will support them at these two gigs

They should've just kept playing in the forests of Northern Finland, netting 3 Finnish markkas (approx. 0,50 eur) per person a gig, so most of the people on this board would've never heard of them, as they had never recorded Hate Crew Deathroll.

Made my day, but irony agreed,

Extreme/Scandinavian Metal should NOT be associated with nu metal at all...

You're hopelessly dumb dude.

They've put in the time over the last 10 years and if this tour is where they want to go next, that's fine by me.

That's a die hard fan? Actually I supose that the only reason why I'm not going is because they're not coming to Spain and I can't afford going to France/UK for the gig.

Yes, you get an hour and a half of Bodom instead of 30 min and you don't get Machine Head too.
