FINALLY - Into Eternity lands a spot on a North American tour and can actually get some exposure.

 

[AMBR]

Holy crap!!!! This is awesome! Good for I.E.and way better for Epica than trying to headline alone. Good exposure all around. I'll definitely be at the Nokia, April 5th. May even drag my ass over to the Troc the next night. This should be a really great show!

 

[Cheiron]

Props to Into Eternity for working so hard to make a career out of playing metal while not being of headliner status.


Props to Epica for learning that headlining in the US is not easy, and they'll get many more fans while supporting Symphony X.

OMG... South Florida...

This is unbelievable. I almost fell backwards when I saw the St Pete date. Great great great. Totally unexpected.

You sir are in the minority on this one.

IE is fantastic live. Seen them slay 3 times this year alone, can't wait for this show!

Heres to hoping and praying for a new SX setlist, but I know I won't get it.

 

[Curufin]

Woooo! I knew they'd do another round of US shows; now I'll actually get to see them over here

I've seen them twice in the past year. With Destruction, they were absolutely horrible. With Dark Tranquillity, they were nothing more than average. They're a decent band, and I respect them for working so hard to get where they are, but I'd really like to see some different bands.

Either way, I'll be there for SX alone. Epica just makes the deal even better.

I'll be praying with you on this one, but won't be holding my breath. At this point I'll just be happy with this killer lineup.

 

[VenomGA]

Looking forward to seeing all 3 bands again. SX slayed at the Masquerade not long ago!!!

 

[rockyracoon]

I gotta believe this makes SX a far less probable choice as a PP IX headliner...

2nd thing I thought of too...

Wasn't the setlist they played for that one-off NY show a few months before the NA tour pretty different from the tour setlist? Hopefully they'll bust out a few songs from that.

Woooot a friday night in SF!!!!!

2nd thing I thought of too...

...3rd thing I thought of as well

You have to wonder when & if they will step up to the the direct support slot though. How many tours have they "opened" for in the past 3 years?

 

[Diabolik]

while Into Eternity are getting more exposure by playing on every tour, it is also hurting them, after suffering through them on the last Edguy tour, most of the crowd around me before they came on were complaining about how many times they have had to see them open for other acts and how they are boring. Some times too much exposure isnt a good thing. Plus the crwod response at the Mokena show wasnt that favorable. Everytime they mentioned they had a video on MTV2...there was silence.
