It is also very nice to be back touring in central Europe. Feels like it s been ages when were here last time. For me the best shows have been so far maybe Paris and Oslo. And of course the intense sweaty headliner in Hamburg in between. That day a friend of mine took me to the St. Pauli game. It was awesome. After the second show in Paris we saw Soilwork show next door! Its great to see Peter back in business, they were tight! Big thing for us was to play the very first COB show in Denmark. That was exciting and crowd was treating us well there too! In Amsterdam I went to see a national game, Holland - Sweden, at the famous Ajax stadium. It was awesome to see that legendary place. Litmanen. We've had good times with the other bands. Everybody's treating us well. Tonight we have another headliner, in Saarbrucken, southwest Germany. Its been snowing here. Henkka

Henkka: "I don't know what it is, but Ohio was crazy! I personally had two of the craziest nights of the tour in that state. First Columbus , showday, and then Cleveland, where we had a dayoff. We went to see Amorphis and those guys pulled off a great show. Then they mixed some hell of a drinks in their bus. I think it was the late night Jagerbombs that did the trick. Or the always so good (but dangerous) Fisu. Anyway, was fun and somehow we got back to the hotel (?). In Columbus, after the show some of us got invited to a houseparty, for beers and drinking games. I wanna thank the hosts for their hospitality, if they ever read this. We had good times! You guys rule. Roope might tell more about the finger fairy later. I personally never met this creature here. Shows in Ohio and Rochester were fine, and so were the crowds. Last three shows to go."Roope: "I was able to play yesterday. It's healing pretty quickly. I got some gloves that I have been wearing (see the picture). The bad news is, Alexi got bit by the finger fairy, though it is only on his right hand." October 8th '08 Philadelphia, PA (USA)
"Couple of rough nights on the bus. We've had the finger fairy visit us at night. Always chooses one finger on my left hand and cuts it. Takes the string right to the bone when I play. I had to fix it with Crazy Glue. Tomorrow is our day off and we are going to check out Amorphis and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hopefully I'll have a chance to fire the finger fairy. Don't do what I do."Roope October 4th '08 Pontiac, MI (USA)
"West Coast is done, so is the plains, and we are now here in the Midwest. San Fran was one of the best I think. Great Venue, great crowd, especially right in front of me...Then the warmth ended. Went to Portland and Seattle. So cooler weather but good crowds again! Then refreshing dip in the Salt Lake. This venue was new to us, and on the shore of the lake, but it was surprising that there was so many people. Wow, we do have great package here! Then good times in Denver, and crazy sweaty show in Kansas City, and the infamous salsa party after the show. Many blackouts, but we survived. To Illinois. The Pop's, to Minnesota, where the expected happened. The first ones to get sick. No surprise, me , like always and Jaska too. First thing in the morning, hospital, couple of hours there to find out whats wrong. Ten hard medication..So the Myth show was really hard for us. We had good times but physically it was really difficult. House of Blues Chicago is always good, and the sick ones were not so sick any more, but still really hard to pull off a COB show. We try our best. And tonight Milwaukee Wisconsin. Lets see how the Rave is treating us! Hope nobody's getting sick anymore... "Henkka October 2nd '08 Milwaukee, WI (USA)
The band is currently touring the US with The Black Dahlia Murder and Between The Buried And Me. Bassist Henkka Blacksmith comments from the road after the start of the tour:"The first headlining tour in the States since 2006. We are excited!!! Our first time in Baltimore was really cool. Of course we didn't expect anything but there were people and the crowd was great!! Thanks for that. McNulty didnt show up tho... And the show in Masquerade Atlanta was one of the hottest we have experienced ever. Really. It was difficult for us, but I bet it was difficult for the crowd too. But we pulled it off somehow and it was sweaty and intense. Just the way I like it! Now we are heading to Texas, hope there are no hurricanes coming our way. Looking forward to play the new venue in Dallas, and also to hang out more with the Black Dahlia and Between guys later on, not enough parties yet, but I m sure we ll fix that!" Tomorrow the 16th of September the Hate Crew tears up the House of Blues in Dallas, TX. You can find the rest of the scheduled tourdates here.

I think it indicates that metal people buy their records, even though the internet things can make music easily illegally available! We wanna thank people who've been supporting us in this matter!
