Two shows are in the bag, and the only way to describe the tour so far is success! First show in Hamburg, Markthalle with maximum capacity of 1,200, attracted over 1,100 people. The show went great, and the audience was fantastic! Even though the place was a virtual sauna the fans was going at it like crazy. The day after we struck Osnabrück at the N8 club. Over 700 people showed up for this show, and again a fantastic show. Even though the venue was not quite as hot as the night before, the intensity of the crowd was unbelievable. Keep an eye on the site for further tour reports!

Amon Amarth Cancel Scandinavian Tour
Swedish Viking metallers AMON AMARTH have announced on their official website they were forced to cancel the Scandinavian tour with CANNIBAL CORPSE:
"We regret to announce that we've decided to cancel our participation in the Scandinavian tour supporting Cannibal Corpse. It was economically impossible for us to complete the tour due to extremely high expenses surrounding the travelling arrangements. We are of course very sad that this didn't work out, but hope to be back touring Scandinavia sometime in the near future.
For the third time in the bands career we're performing at Wacken Open Air this coming weekend. We'll be playing on the Black Stage at 2:00 am Friday night (or Saturday morning if you will). We're really looking forward to the show, and hope to see all of you up front bangning your heads!
Many people have asked about the Death In Fire video, and want us to put it up on the webpage. Well good news, finally we recieved a copy of it and will within the next couple of weeks put it on the webpage. Keep an eye out for updates under Video-section.
Cheers!"
