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, PLASMARIFLE and SATYRICON.

In this entry, vocalist Alexandre Leblanc details the band's experiences with asshole bouncers at Hollywood's Whiskey-A-Go-Go, some "special" cookies, and kids getting in fights at shows.

An excerpt follows:

"Santa Cruz, February 7th - Finally in California... We are received by our friends from Decrepit Birth (super-friends from the Faceless tour) in a very pleasant night compared to all the snow and rain we got so far. The show was awesome except for the countless fights. This core vs. metal thing is getting old. I saw a 130-pound kid getting his ribs crushed by a kick. He could barely breathe. I had my ribs hurt in wrestling and it's not good. Takes several weeks to completely heal. And all that for what?? When is it gonna stop?? One day, a kid will get his neck broken and die in a show. Then what... concert ban, metal censorship, police at every shows???

Hollywood, February 9th - The Whiskey-A-Gogo is a legendary place on Sunset boulevard. If you don't know about it, do some research. We get there all excited. Me, Max (DI bassplayer) and Ben (DI Guitar player) start to workout. We all brought weights and training equipment. It's motivating when there are other people who wants to stay in shape and pump some iron. In the middle of our workout, a security guy kicks us out of the backstage area to open the doors (WTF???). I've been a bouncer for four years and I never heard of this! We have to stay outside for like 20-25 minutes. Completely useless. Later, Melvin (DI soundman) gives the local sound guys our monitor sheet. They refuse it. They say that they are professionals and that they don't need it. Don't get me wrong, it sounded great out there, but on stage... whatever. Our set was still killer. Afterwards, I talked with other guys from the tour and they all told me how the bouncers at this venue are assholes even if you're in a band (or especially if you're in a band). Seems like this venue is legendary after all... for how bad the staff is."
