Hello from the road once again!

We are currently en route back to Copenhagen after our show at the Sonisphere festival in Finland. This tour has taken us to several new spots around the globe and it has been incredible to find dedicated fans that have been waiting so long for us to arrive. It's been an honor to share the stage with Metallica and get to know them and their crew. They set an inspiring example from the show to how they treat the people around them and we have taken many a note. We have been welcomed as a band, as friends and as drinking buddies from the start. To be on a 7 week run that plays to no less than 10,000 people a night has been surreal. I can tell you first hand that it's not easy to open up for Metallica. If you don't have your 'A' game on every night, you could end up in trouble! Fortunately, we've been around the block a few times and handled it well, held our own and gained a lot of new fans. It's been an incredible opportunity.

As this seven week trek comes to an end here in about a week, we are excited to go home, but also very happy about how things have gone for us over here. We have seen a considerable positive change in the interest and fan base of the band with the new album 'wrath' and the help of our new international label, Roadrunner. We couldn't be happier about that and look forward to returning and continuing to find more corners of the globe to infect.

We will be home for about six weeks before we head out again with Metallica across the US and Canada for nine weeks, beginning in Nashville in mid-September. We played the west coast in late '08 with them for a month, but this time we're heading everywhere. We've got some killer headlining shows planned along the way and since we just hit most of the major markets on the 'wrath' tour in the Spring, we will be digging into many of the smaller cities around the US. If you're one of the many who write us and ask why we never come to your town, you'll be interested in this itinerary. I expect we will have it posted in the next couple of days.

Once we wrap up the US/Canada run, we head back to Australia and New Zealand in December, and that's just the beginning. The 'wrath' world tour will weave its way throughout 2010 and possibly beyond. We've got opportunities coming in to visit new places such as South Africa, Israel, South America, the Philippines and Russia and the list seems to get longer instead of shorter. That's a great problem to have. We are very fortunate and I can't wait to get out there and kick some ass. Hope to see you along the way.
