I slept all the way to München. The climate had changed drastically. We had walked around in T-shirts in sunny Paris and now it sleeted in München. We loaded in and set up the gear with routine. The venue was nice and spacious, and so was the backstage. We had some vacant time so we decided to do some jogging. After being sick for a couple of days a nice little run felt good and I didn’t even mind the rain. And of course the hot shower afterwards was a great luxury.

I was surprised that the venue was literally packed with people. OG pulled a killer show and warmed up the audience really good. Then it was our turn, and off we went. It was clearly among the very best shows we’ve ever played. Sound was clear, there was a good flow in our playing and the crowd reaction was amazing. We did the be(a)st we could for those fifty minutes and finalized the show with an encore, Devoid of Caring. It’s becoming a routine for us. Our European booking agent was watching the show, and we were more than pleased to hear that he was 100% convinced about our show.

We had showers once again, chilled out at the backstage and loaded out after the curfew. The mood was high and we all felt like partying. Well, almost all, Ville Friman went to bunk straight away to get a good rest. We had the usual after show bus party, people sitting in the lounge, drinking red wine, listening to music and just talking this and that. We started our 950km drive to Rome and the party went on. We drove through a blizzard when crossing the Alps, so that added some excitement to our trip. Last recollection about that night was that I was sitting next to the driver’s seat watching the sunrise over the mountains. Pretty impressive sight. Hello Italy, here we come.



Some rum and tea to cure the tour flu...
