Two-day live already? Are they compensating for not having closing gigs for TIW and Phalaris? Feels weird for them to have them so soon. ---

> [@K-B](#): > > Not loving the album title, but very excited nonetheless! Yeah I def had a moment of “c’mon…” when I saw the title, but I’m not taking it as any indication to the music itself. Remaining optimistic 🙂 > [@Varosa](#): > > You and me both. I haven’t seen them live since Ghoul in 2013. I need to be in their mighty presence again. I got to see them in NYC for the TIW cycle but when they came and did the 3 MODE OF shows that was allllllll the way on the other side of the country from me. I couldn’t swing the time off AND the travel and lodging AND the concert ticket itself at the time 😕 ---

Yeah I was really disappointed about those MODE OF shows because I wanted to see all of them but on god I will not go to Los Angeles. ---
