DARKEST HOUR STAY FROSTY BY BOOKING AN ENTIRE AUSTRALIAN TOUR IN ONE DAY

If you live in Australia (and likely even if you don’t, if you’re an IMN like me) you’ve heard by now that Devildriver have been forced to cancel their entire Australian tour with Six Feet under and Darkest Hour because frontman Dez Fafara has come down with a wicked case of pneumonia. But fret not, Australian metalheads: Darkest Hour boldly decided to board their flights to Australia anyway in the hopes that everything would work out. And work out it did! DH were able to book an entire Australian headline tour for themselves in just one day. And they got matching tattoos to commemorate the occasion.

Here’s Darkest Hour Mike Schleibaum via email directly to MetalSucks:

Darkest Hour was at the airport in Manila checking in to get to Australia when we got an email saying the tour had been cancelled due to Dez’s pneumonia. Not really knowing what the fuck to do we boarded anyways in the hopes we could pull something off to still rock in Australia and make our connecting flights for a long overdue visit to Japan. So after some long flights and about a million emails the soundwave touring guys over here saved the day and got a few shows together for us. Now we’re all set to play some headliners around Aussie and make it back to Japan.

So this whole time we’re trying to stay chill and not trip, and as a reminder to keep our cool under pressure, and as inspired by the kick ass Van Halen song, we decided to get tattoos with the slogan “stay frosty” accompanied by a snowflake wearing some sick ray-bans. Now we will always be reminded when we look down that pessimism will get you nowhere and if you really wanna live the good life you better stay frosty.

Stay Frosty! Mike
