Hail from the hot and tropical Finland.

It’s been a sweaty and filthy summer but we haven’t been just partying, barbequing and chasing tornados. Actually we got a load of new songs coming up and we are molding the whole concept of the next album. New songs are kickass of course. The old mantra Faster, Harder etc etc applies here

As you have noticed there are no gigs booked right now as we are concentrating on the new stuff. We might do some shows in the near future but nothings decided yet.

We’d like to thank especially the audience at Tuska Open Air 2010. It was a just awesome to see that stage area packed to the max and a sea of fists in the air. We played at the Tuska After Party in 2009 and seems our fan base has multiplied by 100. Thank you! Also it was fun to see again those crazy people in the audience from the european tour… you rule!

There will be announcements on the details of the new album this fall. Now everything’s still top secret and hush hush.

… Until then.

We will be updating Flickr with new pics as we get permission to use them. In the meanwhile:

Here’s interview with Wilska from Stalkermusic in Tuska 2010:

We really hate to break these news to you guys… but the US officials at Homeland Security thought that this was not our time to tour the states. No working visa. No tour. Tough fucking shit.

Every other band on the Finnish Metal Tour will go and perform but not us. This sucks in a way that you guys can’t even imagine. Loads of hard work went into getting this thing going in the first place. And all went well to the point when we should have gotten just a approval stamp on the papers.

So… There’s no time to apply for another working visas and we have to cancel the whole fucking tour. Sorry to disappoint you guys.

Hope this thing works out next time and see you then!

“Antti Warman will hop on board the same plane across the Atlantic with the Finnish up-and-coming metal patrol Survivors Zero. He will be filling in for SZ’s Sami Jämsén for their 4 week North American assault with fellow Finns Finntroll, Moonsorrow and Swallow The Sun. Be sure to catch Antti shredding on his new axe by Dean Guitars, and buy him a drink or twenty if you manage to find him offstage up on his own feet!”

See ya guys on tour!

Hello from Munich!

We’ve done really good shows so far, too bad we have only few dates left on this tour. Had so much fun and we’re really going strong. The audiences everywhere are just plain awesome. Can’t thank you guys enough. Last show before the North American tour is going to be at Finnish Metal Expo, so be there!!

Here’s professionally shot footage from Saarbruecken, Germany:

Hello from Nancy, France!

Awesome show yesterday at Dynamo, Eindhoven! Loads of great shows now behind and lot of cool people. Really good to see you guys at the venues, you f*king rule.

We are now half-way into the tour and it’s been crazy, fun and really hard work and really worth it. There’s now 2 shows in France and then back to Germany for a few shows and then we’re off to Switzerland. And the story continues from there also …
