Hello everybody,

This is Angela from Arche Enemy checking in from the ‘Tyrants Of Evil US Tour’. We joined forces with Exodus, Arsis and Mutiny Within and are currently devastating the Northern part of America with our extreme brand of METAL ☺

We all had a rather lame start in Towson, Recher Theatre. Old venue, crap PA, tired audience, all bands struggling with the ‘first show chaos’ and technical problems, haha.. boring.

The show at the TLA in Philadelphia was a lot better and we all felt confident to face the 1700 cap. crowd at the Nokia Theatre in NYC the next day and rock ‘em hard.

All bands get thrown out of the tour bus at 11am in the morning (middle of the night, so to speak) and we all crawl into the venue and to the coffee machine.

Michael and Chris are jamming new and old tunes backstage all day long:

I am snoring on the couch, until Carmine Appice and my metal sis Doro Pesch burst into the backstage room!

Time to hit the stage! We are all massively excited. Just got news this is the biggest metal show in town since months. Hells yeah! Awesome crowd. We are loving it! Fantastic night.

Here are some cool clips from the show:

Nokia Theatre







Beaten and bruised, but happy we throw our corpses into the bus in the morning and drive on to Worcester – The Palladium. 4th show in a row. We are hurting a little.

The Palladium is an old, classic theatre. Big stage, great room, good sound! Exodus are kicking butt and we get the last drops of blood out of the crowd. Hell of a show!

Now we have to face the challenge of the US/Canada border crossing. It will be an 8am misery morning affair as usual. We are certain not to carry firearms, pyros, illegal drugs or dead hookers on board and manage to jump over the fence within 2 hours.

Next report will be from the Canadian carnage shows ☺
