The tour is over.
After 5 weeks of mayhem, it's time to let the dust clear. We are tired as fuck, but we couldn't be more happy with the tour and how well it came together in the end.
A lot of fun memories have been made, but right now, I can't wait to get me some clean clothes and a proper shower!
As I'm writing this, we are on our way back to Finland from Sweden. We are onboard Silja Line Symphony, a fairly big ship with moderate facilities for relaxation!
It's a long ride home, so better make the most of it!
Big thanks to everybody who was involved on the tour and travelled with us:
Stratovarius, their crew, Mystic Prophecy, Dream Evil and Winters Verge. There are way too many names to be listed in here, but all of you know who you are, and all of will be remembered!
A huge thanks to all the people who came to the shows, bought our merch and supported us!
We had the best time with all you guys! Hope to meet you on the road again!
Oh, and thanks to everybody who bothered to read this shitspit of a tourblog :D Hope you got something out of it!
Over and out!

09.01 - LAST DAY!
Saatana soikoon!
One more show to go, and then the tour is over.
What can i say, it sucks big time! But let's not get ahead of ourselves!
There's still the afterparty, and the boat trip home, so there's still plenty of time to cause havoc!
Gotta go! Soundcheck time!
I will write here one more time, when the dust has cleared!

06.02 - Sweet Sweden
What's up, people?
Been a while since we last wrote on this blog, but how many times can you write the same thing over and over again? Still, thought I'd share these last touring days with anybody whos reading this!
We have left Germany behind us, and entered Scandinavia. We were told that the shows here would be suffering from low ticket sales, but at least Denmark proved our worries wrong! We had really fun on the stage, and the afterparty was really something! We have to thank the people working at The Rock and the people who came to see the show for making the night worth remembering!
Now, like I said before, we are here in Lund, Sweden. It's still almost 40min till our showtime, so we still have plenty of time before we gotta hit the stage. Should be interesting enough: Vili has just started to recover from a bad fever, and I think I have food poisoning.
Oh, unless you missed it, we have just posted a new episode of Ego TV on YouTube, and there's new episodes on the way! You can find them all from our YouTube channel.
That's pretty much it! See you at the rest of the shows!

01.02 - Germany again!
Morning, people!
A new month, a new flu. Didnt get nearly enough sleep last night. Tired as hell, so im gonna keep this one short.
So we arrived in Germany 2 days ago, and played a show in Backstage. The show was good, and since there was a day off the next day, we felt comfortable to relax a little. And since our label manager had travelled all the way to see our show, we were guaranteed to have a good time! :p
right now we are in Stuttgart, in the Longhorn, waiting for our soundcheck. The venue is pretty cold, and in my current condition, its not helping.
Later, guys. m gonna go to the bus and try to sleep some more.

28.1 - Bratislava YEAHH
So here we are in the country of Hostel and Miroslav Satan. Everythings mighty fine!!
It's pretty damn cool to play shows with a kickass bassplayer (Lauri P. that is), cause I've never really seen anyone live before. Makes you wanna step up with your "game".
We've also had some of the best shows ever, and it feels ultra-cool to see how this group of instrument touchers is improving on and on. The day-offs have been also much cooler on this tour, however they kinda suck cause there ain't much to do and the numbers in bank accounts shrink. :)
I gots to tell that my favorite show still was in Milano. It's insane to play to a crowd that really looks like they're havin a lot of fun and are able to show that.
Like on last tour, Bologna also owned. Looks like I've found my favorite country to play so far. Whity almighty. 666 :)
Tomorrow we are in Zlin and the shows sold out, should be a blast!!!
Two hours 'til show time!!! GOTS TO GO!!!

26.1 - Happy Happy Hungary
Whaddap!
I really hope that somebody else would write this blog. I'm running our of greetings and things to say.
Our new travelmates, Winters Verge, are just finishing their soundcheck. They have proven themselves as really cool guys to hang around with, and we have been having a blast. The other night Miguel, the bassist, got really wasted and had himself kick/banned from a local bar after a few beers and a Long Island Ice Tea :D We still have 4 shows with them before Dream Evil takes over their supporting duties.
Overall, we still have 13 shows left. That means we are halfway done with the tour. It's weird when 3 weeks seem like 3 days. Time flies when you are having a hell of a good time!
That's all! Signing off! The next text will hopefully be by somebody else than me!
Ps. We will try ro add some more photos here, but wouldn't you know, we have been having some problems with our computers. We will try to fix that as soon as possible!

22.1 - Day-Off in Serbia
Greets, peeps!
We crossed the Serbian boarder somewhere around 14.00 local time, and sure enough we get stopped by the police. They had us waiting for 30 min when they were doing their check. After finding nothing illegal on our buss, they let us go with our rectums intact.
We are now parked in front of the venue where we will play tomorrow. Today has been all about movies and relaxing, but it's starting to get really boring. Jens just send me message: He had found a strip club nearby, so I'm gonna head there.
Keep tuning in!
