Kyle McIlmurray from And Hell Followed With gives us tour update

Kyle McIlmurray gave us this update from the road:

"Right now we're on tour going through Clev Ohio, Dr Acula, American Me, Atilla, and Chelsea Grin.
The tour's been awesome, we played Detroit last night and had 200 kids going crazy at the venue.  We've been doing really well, tonight we play Cleveland and tomorrow it's Pennsylvania.

From there we go to finish up writing the album which is almost complete then in November, right after some Canadian dates we're doing the Malus clothing tour 

with Sea of Treachery, Suffokate, Blindwitness and Destruction of a Rose which is a west coast tour heading to California etc.

We're just kids who grew up on death metal like Nile, Deicide and all those bands
that have that really awesome death metal sound, then mix it with a more
metalcore and hardcore sound like As I Lay Dying.
Its like a mixture of what hardcore and metal are all about- Heaviness and aggressiveness.

Its hard to explain, I grew up listening to hardcore and bands like Converge
I would never compare my band to them, we dont sound anything like them
but they're an inspiration.

Its just deathcore, plain and simple, a combination of deathmetal and hardcore
Over here its maybe different to the UK sound, we're more about the hardcore style.
Bands like Bury Your Dead and The Black Dahlia Murder do it extremely well, some bands totally fail at it.

So we're on our way to our next show right now. We have a 15-passenger van and a trailer, and a huge futon so we can sleep! It's pretty comfortable compared to other bands set up. We're pretty comfortable in here, but we're very grateful for everything we have. We're very grateful about how we're treated by our fans and the kids at shows that give us a place to sleep and the people that come down to see us. Its awesome."

Ignominious Incarceration - Thursday July 23rd

Sam Bailey

"We are at a service station eating expensive food and smoking. We're on our way to Nottingham playing Rock city today with Bleed from within and The boy will drown on the Masters of metal tour.

We all stayed at this girl's house 2 days ago - 4 bands - and absolutely trashed it - plus drivers. She was like "my parent's are going away do you want to come round" and it was mental - we filmed it too - we did beer bongs the lot -

The next morning - she kicked out our driver cause he was smashing stuff - she wasn't very happy -

I think it was the first time she'd had bands come to stay - 20 boys in bands

We're at the Underworld soon, that's gonna be cool, Birmingham - we're just gonna get more drunk i think - hopefully i won't smash my head up again

We're in danger all the time...

Oh no! i just broke a seat in the van... i better go"

Municipal Waste - Thurs July 23rd

Dave Witte (from a Splitter van in Europe):

"We're in Italy at the moment on the way to the venue -

On this tour we've seen Slovenia for the first time and its people showed us their kindness and support as well as the country's beauty - we spent our day off there and swam all day at a lake. It was great!

The tour itself has been full of supportive enthusiastic fans and great sets! Germany really came to life for us this time. As of now we've entered Italy for Pinerella and Rome, can't wait for the food!

The highlight of this for me will be playing with Voivod in Spain!

This tour is really great on multiple levels"
