Norwegian doomsters SYRACH have checked in with the following report from their current Doom Over Europe tour with TROUBLE and PENTAGRAM

Doom Over Europe Pt.I

"We are now in the Czech Republic and will be playing at the Masters Of Rock Cafe in Zlin. Getting here was a small adventure in itself.

It all started when we got up the 'morning' after the show in Switzerland and started driving for Budapest. Some kms outside Vienna, one of our tires started leaking air. It would prove to be the rim that was broken, and we needed to fix it. We organized late night with a new tire, to be delivered to where we stood parked with our camper the next morning at 8:00am. Of course the guy showed up at 9:00am, with no tire... He took the broken one off and left us with a promise to be back with a new one in one hour. This one hour turned to 4, and we started to get in a hurry to get to Budapest in time. When he finally arrived he wanted €1267 for the job, which we obviously refused to pay since we'd get no receipt for it, and really, who would pay this much for a tire?! At this time we had no belief in the Austrian people until we made another call to a rescue company. The guy showed up within the hour, took a look at our camper and made a few calls, and took us with him to a tire dealership. We got a new tire and rim for €60, and even the 5 bolts that the other guy ran off with was included. So this unknown Austrian guy is our hero of the day.

However, we regret that we didn't get to Budapest in time, and therefore had to cancel our apperance there. We are really sorry, because we had really looked forward to see the city and play our first ever show in Hungary.

The previous shows has gone well, and we have had an absolutely fantastic time together with Trouble and Pentagram and the crew.

We are now looking forward to play the rest of the tour, and to see as many of you as possible the next week!

Doom on!"
