It is just NOT a good time to be a Metal band in England. First your boys Baroness got vooed near Bath and now two Damnation Alley favorites and Sumerian label mates Periphery and Between The Buried and Me are down a tour bus outside of Southampton. Damn thing caught fire. Full blastdeets over at Blabbermouth. Here's a preview, though. Awesome:


BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME guitarist Paul Waggoner: "Fuel line done broke. Dadgum flame come shootin out. Peeewwww eeehhhhh sometin' stank. Crazy British feller come hollerin, 'Bus on fire, ya'll git.' Climb up the ol' hill barefoot and look back at them flames shootin sky high. Firemen folk come rushin up real quick like and squirt that fire plum out. It was lucky nobody was hurt, not even a stubbed toe. Luggage stank like a Mississippi cow pie on a mid july heat. Hopefull, come tomorra, a new horse n' buggy come. We'll giddy on up to Belgium town for a good ol' fashioned hootnanny. Whoo-Doggies!!!" -from Blabbermouth.com
