NEURAXIS Frontman Details Trouble Crossing Canada/U.S. Border

February 10, 2009

Canadian death metallers NEURAXIS have published the second entry of their ongoing blog from the Montreal Assault Tour, also featuring DESPISED ICON, BENEATH THE MASSACRE, CARNIFEX and THE PLASMARIFLE. In this entry, vocalist Alexandre Leblanc details some of the problems the band had crossing from Canada in the U.S. An excerpt follows below.

"We left Montreal on Wednesday morning (6:00 a.m.). Four hours later, at the border, even with passports, work visas and a full inventory of our merch and instruments, we get pulled over. After waiting for another three hours, they tell us we need a broker (like we're an 18-wheeler) to pass our shirts through the border and that the fees coulld go up to $900 for not even $2000 worth of merch. Even after we tell them the shirts were printed in the States (they're left over from the FACELESS tour),we have to turn around and rent a locker to store the merch for the month. After finally passing the border (where they almost pulled us over again???),we head out to Cleveland in a snowstorm. Arrived at 3:00 p.m., where our bass player for the tour (Derek Engmann from UNMERCIFUL, CAST THE STONE, and many more) was waiting for us at an hotel room near the airport where he landed earlier. Scheduled time of arrival: 6:00 p.m. Actual time of arrival: 3:00 a.m."
