Touring misadventures featuring WITH PASSION

Sacramento, California's With Passion had a little bit of triumph over a near tragedy Monday morning.

Currently on the road with Nile, Decapitated, Soilent Green, Hypocrisy and Raging Speedhorn on the Annihilation of the Wicked Tour, the tour was going quite well until today. The band experienced what some may call "extreme vehicular difficulty" but we'll just call it a pretty messed up van.

The band arrived in Chicago, IL for their show at the House of Blues and routinely had the van checked for oil levels, etc. While the mechanic examined the road beaten vehicle he discovered that the band was in fact driving a van on its last legs. Apparently the van had recently blown a head gasket in the engine and it would most likely make it no further than the city limits.

At this point With Passion wasn't sure what they could do to continue the tour. After all, they were now without a van and might be stranded in Chicago. With some luck and alot of looking around, the band managed to somehow miraculously find a new van to continue the tour without missing a single date or missing a beat.

The band is now breathing a sigh of relief and looking forward to finishing up the rest of this incredibly successful tour alongside all the other bands. We are happy to hear that the band was able to make it through this problem and continue on and perform in front of all the fans looking forward to seeing them on the Annihilation of the Wicked tour.

With Passion's "In the Midst of Bloodied Soil" is available in stores now
