Amon Amarth - 24th October
|
|
As things stand right now, Amon
Amarth on Saturday 24th October will be the next show from DME. This
could change but, right now, that's the situation. Thanks to everyone
that's come out to the shows so far this year. Like everything else,
things have been tough in this business this year and that's a large
part of the reason for the break - doing shows during the festival
season just doesn't make sense, especially in time of such economic
turmoil. So, in order to ensure that DME can continue, this is the
best way to go right now.
