Back in Finland

This last actual post to this blog comes from the sweet Finland. We weren't able to this earlier as the venues didn't had internet connections or we just didn't had time.

So, let's go back to Germany. First place was Hannover (Hangover)... Before the show we got informed that ticket pre-sales had been doing really well. And so it was. Musiczentrum was pretty well-populated even before we started our set. Obviously, We were nicely welcomed to there. Quickly after show load-out and enjoying other bands and beverages.

At morning we left to Berlin in a feeling like a coma. In Berlin we had small accident with our van, but nothing serious. There was even an another accident during the night or morning, but that won't become public...

Berlin's ticket pre-sales had been as good as in Hannover, so the venue would been crowded like hell! It did, and once again we were able to thrash to the venue full of German maniacs. It was also Finland's independence day, and of course we had to do something special. Luckily there were some Finnish beer in our car so we raised grails to Finland during our gig with Lapin Kulta.

Next night/day we had a approx. 600 kilometres drive to Poland. Club called Progresja in Warsaw. Once a again ticket pre-sales had been great and it surely strenghted our expectations about the Polish scene. As this would be also the last gig in Hammer Battalion -tour, the overall mood was a bit sad but still pretty happy.

As the clock turned into 19.45 we hit the stage and realized the amount of people! "Fuck yeah, that is going to be crazy night." Gig went very well, and the audience seemed to be crazy as we had heard about the Polish lunatics. The best possible end to this tour!

After the show we started some serious boozin' and watched others bands for the last time in this tour. Needless to say that they all slaughtered as always. As the night turned into morning it was time for goodbyes, more boozin' etc.

At this point SE would like to send a HUGE salutes to whole Massive Music crew (Piotr, Vacek, Darek, Krystoff's), Unleashed, Krisiun and One Man Army & the Undead Quartet and of course the audience all over the places.

PS. Pictures will be posted tomorrow or the day after tomorrow so remember to watch those out!

Vienna

There is more in Vienna than just wienerschnitzels! Vienna owns! We just had a gig and it was one the best in this tour so far. When you are a first band there aren't always so much crowd, but today it was difference. Place was crowded and we destroyed! Hell ya! There were fuckers who came just to see us, which were more than welcome!Next day we are in Hannover and on Finland´s independence day we´ll play at Berlin. Hopefully those shows will turn also as great as this was!

France-Italy-Slovenia

Long time, no see.

The show at Colmar, France was a huge success. Grillen was packed of local metalheads who almost benged their heads off.

As mentioned before above a gig planned in Piacenza was cancelled so we drove quickly (1000 km) through Italy and headed Slovenia to have a day off. Arrived to Ljuljana and got stucked to local ghetto. Our guitar duo ate some raw pork at the restaurant, but thank god they didn't got any food poisonings. One Man Army's Matias wasn't so lucky as he ate the same meat and was vomiting through the next night.

After a dinner we checked out Ljubljana's night life and it was quite nice. Beer was almost free and people were very friendly.

Our show in the next day was even better than in France even we had some major technical problems. But the most important thing is that crowd enjoyed and they sure did!

Now where're in Austria once again and this town is called Traun. Arrived to the venue couple hours ago, did the load-in and now waiting for the dinner. Tonight there'll some local support act, so we don't have to do the soundcheck today.

That's all now in a nutshell, let's hope that rest venues are equipped with internet connections so we could post more posts for you out there.

Wienerschnitzels und Alpes

...and several beers. We haven't had time to refresh this blog, but we're trying to fix that problem. So, we've been in Germany, Switzerland and Austria since the previous post. Now we're in Switzerland once again. This town or village is called Erstfelt and it's surrounded by awesome views!

Everything has went very smooth so far except the fact that we got lost to France when we were coming to here. Actually this was the second time when we got lost to France. First time was in Basel where the border is in middle of city. Only thing to complain is that mr. Savolainen lost his shoe last night by the reason unknown!

Gigs have been also great and the others bands are tight as shit! Tomorrow we're heading to France and this time for real.

That's all now, I have to go to watch Krisiun's show
