"Just returned home yesterday, feeling a bit shot right now, but this tour was a total, 100% blast! All I can say is 'wow!' Huge thanks go out to DESPISED ICON, FIRST BLOOD, NAPALM DEATH (of course!),THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, and most of all to HATEBREED, for treating us in the same manner we have treated every band that has ever opened for us. We were always welcome wherever we went, not primadonna bullshit, just great fucking times to be had by all. Jamey, Sean, Frank, Chris, and Matt, thanks much! You guys rule on stage and off. And I'm totally looking forward to the next rager! And thanks to the HATEBREED crew as well. And all the other bands, fuckin' friends for life! Now two weeks off until the mayhem in Europe, our last tour for 'Shovel Headed Kill Machine', and I promise it will be one for the record books. Sick shit all around!"
