Hello from Italy!

 

I am having a great time out here on the road with The Aristocrats but internet time is scarce and travel times are looong, so I barely have time to just say hi and a few more things. 

 

First, thanks to everyone in Italy and Sweden who came out to see Marco, Guthrie and me. We're having a blast over here and we're not even halfway done yet. The remaining dates are below:

Now, about the Dethklok tour: There are still lots of folks out there who don't seem to know that I'll still be with The Aristocrats in Europe when the Dethklok tour starts. So just read directly below and you'll be well informed, unlike those other people.

That's really all I have time to write. The Aristocrats are playing Caserta tonight. Then on to Rome and Milan before hitting Nice, France. I'm feeling very Euro right about now. 

 

Oh, before I go - you metal fans out there have all bought Dethklok's Dethalbum III, right? Right?! It came out three days ago. It's all over the web, like one of those major releases that's all over the web. Plus, the Deluxe Edition has a special behind-the-scenes documentary of us tracking the record. Don't disappoint the dormant lake trolls of the world. Go get it now. 

I really must be going now,
