DARKANE Guitarist Checks In From FEAR FACTORY/STRAPPING YOUNG LAD Tour

November 9, 2005

DARKANE guitarist Christofer Malmström has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"It's been a few days since I was on the computer! We've played Grand Rapids where I had lots of trouble with my gear, but I think the rest of the guys had a good show. Then we had a day off in Cleveland and Gene [Hoglan] of STRAPPING [YOUNG LAD], our tour manager Bryan and us DARKANE dudes went to the Rock'n' Roll Hall of Fame museum! We enjoyed it a lot. The show also went very well. Detroit was next up and the Harpo's! Huge place! Kind of rough neigbourhood, but we were prepared for that. We were told not to go anywhere but the bus and the venue. The stage was REALLY tall and the audience seemed like 'midgets' from up there.

"Next stop was Toronto and our first-ever Canadian show! Beautiful town (which we didn´t get to see much of :-( ) but most special... the crowd!!! You people rocked the Opera House!!!!

"Yesterday we had another day off in NYC where we did the usual touristing stuff such as checking out the Empire State Building, Times Square, Rockefeller Center and the Grand Central Station. Not the juiciest news you would have hoped for but we are tourists in this country right now! In the evening we went to B.B. King's at Times Square and checked VADER and CRYPTOPSY, because our ears really longed for some death metal! =)

"Today SOILWORK joined the package and from now on there will be the four of us on the bill. SOILWORK seemed jet lagged, but put on a hell of a show here at the Irving Plaza. Our set tonight wasn't the best so far but it felt ok and we've got a lot of good response from the audience.

"Well, Jörgen just entered and told me that people are waiting at the merch booth to get their CDs signed, so... gotta go!

"See you out there, and remember to come early as DARKANE is the opening act!"

DARKANE are touring in support of their fourth album, "Layers of Lies", available now on Nuclear Blast Records. It is the follow-up to the band's third studio CD, "Expanding Senses", which was released in 2002.
