Cannibal Corpse are currently touring Europe as the special guests for Finnish heavy metal band Children Of Bodom. Bassist Alex Webster has checked in with the following report: "Hey everybody,

"Just wanted to check in and give you an update on how our European tour has been going.

"The tour is actually almost over (5 shows left including tonight), and it has been absolutely killer. For most of the tour we have been playing as direct support for CHILDREN OF BODOM with DIABLO opening the shows, and this combination of bands has worked out really great.

"All three bands have their own style and this has made for large, diverse and enthusiastic audiences. One really cool thing we've seen at some of the gigs is a "wall of death" in the pit, usually during 'Hammer Smashed Face'. I won't bother describing this "wall", you really need to see it in action to appreciate it... it's a brutal sight indeed!

"Tonight we are playing a headlining show in Kolding, Denmark along with Diablo and a local band. We haven't played this part of Denmark in a long time so we are really looking forward to this show.

"The remaining four gigs will be the full tour package with COB, and they will surely be some of the biggest and best shows of the whole tour. We'll go from Oslo to Stockholm and then over to COB and Diablo's homeland Finland for a couple of shows that are sure to be massive and climactic.

"So, that's the update for now. We want to thank all of the fans who have come to the shows and made this tour so amazing, you guys kick ass!"
