CAULDRON have issued the following recap of their recent Canadian mini-tour with STRIKER. An excerpt is availabel below:

Toronto, August 13th, 2009

"The Striker-Mini-Ep-Tour was a major success. Our good buds Striker and Speed Metal Clayton arrived in Toronto Thursday morning armed with guitars and lots of leather pants and even a yoga ball. It just happened to be that the weather got hot and shitty as soon as they arrived. They're used to their faces cracking in the semi-arid desertlike climate of Calgary and were not impressed with the grease factor. They slept at Craig's until the Cauldron boys were off work and ready to load into Sneaky Dee's for Striker's first show in Toronto. Everyone did the usual nacho thing downstairs before the doors opened. The nachos there are just not what they used to be. The chi's were out in full force at this show. DIEMONDS kicked things off with a pretty greasy set of rock n' roll. MANIAC played a murderous set, unfortunately it was their last show ever. Word on the street is drummer Chris Six Stix is forming a new band using only inward Udo Dirkschneider screams, to be called TERRORDACTYL.

Striker blew everyone away when they hit the stage. I don't think anyone was prepared for the piercing screams and RACER X leads. Cauldron played our first show with new drummer Chris. Oh yeah, our old drummer Chris Rites quit, but our new drummer's name is also Chris so we figured, what's the point? Considering we only practiced four times with Chris before the show, it was pretty fucking good. After the show everyone got drunk and went back to Craig's to drink some more and sleep on the floor."
