Sonic Syndicate?"!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

Fuck! This is going to be my wanking material for the next few hours. That's fantastic news! Looks like, I'll be visting Newcastle for the first tiem.

I just got so excited that I knocked my can of 7up all over my mum's keyboard. She does not look impressed!

In all honesty, I was hoping for a better line-up. Much like their last headlining UK tour, it's not quite top-notch.

I hope they come back to Belfast though or I'll be forced to hit the mainland again!

DON'T FORGET BELFAST! Northern Ireland needs you.

I don't know why people have it for us Brits: I think Chimaira have probably done overall, better line ups everywhere else, than they have here!

But nevertheless, Im just hoping that this confirmation is incorrect and that the line up is in fact: Chimaira, Soilwork and Mors Principium EST.

I officially wet myself just over the thought of that line up.

Fuuuuuuuuck! I love my Mors (she cries sporting a Mors shirt and hoodie). Liberation=Termination is by far one of my favourite albums ever and by far the best thing MPE have ever done. I really hope they don't split up and I also hope their new material will be as kick ass and heavy as the Mors I love. :sad:

HAH! Who are you trying to kid?

We have all seen what you spend your money on in the "Last Purchases" thread and it's certainly not just Chimaira shows! lol

In reality I could easily financially afford to go to 2 or 3 of the UK shows, but I just dont have the time or inclination to do that, thats all.

However if the UK dates were later on in the month I could have tried to combine a show in London with the NFL game at Wembley but it doesnt look like I have managed to secure tickets for the NFL anyway so it doesnt really matter! lol

I mean't I don't spend any money on anything other than Chimaira in general!
And that's fair enough, not having the inclination to go to more than one show. It's a matter of personal preference isn't it?
There's not a single other band besides Chimaira that Im that excited about that I'd want to spend the money, time and effort, getting very little sleep and travelling for long hours to see them play 3,4, 5 days in a row.
I don't think many people would understand why we do it!
But it makes me happy so I don't see why I shouldn't continue the freedom of being able to take 2 weeks out of my life to enjoy them while I can! :D

Sonic Syndicate

But in Sweeden for example Soilwork and Chimaira switch.

Ah cool. Cheers guys. I don't want Caliban being on before Sonic Shitdicate. (HI-O!)

I'd be happier if Caliban and Soilwork switched places in the bill though.

Does anyone know if its true about chimaira pulling out of this? I just got this email from the UEA box office:

Dear All,

Many apologies for the informal nature of the email, but we have to get information out to a lot of people in a short space of time. The reason we’ve written to you is that according to our records you have tickets for the Vans Eastpak Antidote Tour. We’re sorry to inform you that original headliners Chimaira have been forced to pull out of the tour (and indeed all tours until Dec 07/early 08) due to personal reasons. We apologise for any disappointment that this causes, but rest assured the promoter has worked tirelessly to come up with a suitable replacement and the Eastpak Antidote Tour will still be going ahead….. Headliners on the Tour will now be Soilwork, with support now coming from Caliban, Sonic Syndicate and the newly confirmed Dark Tranquillity.


Dark Tranquillity are one of the longest-standing bands from the Gothenburg metal scene and one of the pioneers of the melodic death metal genre. They formed in 1989, under the name Septic Broiler (a thrash metal band) and since their formation the band has had a relatively stable line-up. In 1990, they recorded a demo entitled Enfeebled Earth, after which they changed their name to Dark Tranquillity. In 1993, Anders Fridén, Dark Tranquillity's original lead vocalist, left the band (he later joined In Flames) and Mikael Stanne, who played rhythm guitar and provided backing vocals, then became lead vocalist. A couple of line up chages later and they signed to Century Media Records (in 1999). Since then, the band has remained stable in its line-up and its musical style; blending layers of rapid guitar lines with harmony-rich electronic keyboard washes and extremely precise rhythms underneath Stanne's abstract growled lyrics. Having completed their latest album (“Fiction”) earlier this year, they have been touring with such heavyweights as The Haunted, Into Eternity, and Scar Symmetry….

Yours

Fuck, according to UEA's website it's true.

EDIT: I've checked chimiara.com, chimairas myspace, the tours website, the tours myspace, and all of the other UK venues websites but none of them have mentioned this yet.

Lame on toast

The Newcastle and London Venues websites now have DT replacing Chimaira. Looks as if this one may well be true:(

jesus f*&^ing christ :(, this is lame. Official anouncement soon I guess

if it is true hopefully the band tour next year and if we choose not to go to the eastpak show then maybe we could get let into a venue of our choice on the tour by showing them an un used antidote tour ticket

I can't believe this! This fucking sucks.
I hope everything is OK in the Chimaira camp as there's got to be a major problem if they've pulled out of so many shows.
I hope it's nothing big enough to jepodise the band's future. :sad:

i've got a bad feeling a split may be coming :(, i mean on the dvd you saw how unhappy the vibe was after the s/t record and you never know it may have got back to that state. But i am hopefull the band have put a new pic on their myspace, you would have thought they would have announced something before doing that
