We just finished the 2012 South American tour and apart from the sad Sao Luis incident we had a lot of fun. In case you didn't have the chance to come to one of the shows check out the video to get an idea what you missed ;-) (By the way, I am still impressed by the sound quality of some of those mobile phone videos on youtube)
Next on the list is the Spanish tour with Judas Priest, something we are definitely looking forward to, so see you guys soon.

Soundcheck done

We just finished the soundcheck for the Sao Paulo show, the sound is perfect :-) Can't wait for the show, see you guys later tonight.

Today's show in Sao Luis cancelled!

Unfortunately I have very bad news for all our Brazilian fans, we just had to cancel today's show in Sao Luis, at the M.O.A. Festival. It seems that the local management was not able at all to provide the things needed to make this festival possible, so we had no choice but to cancel tonight's show. We are very sorry for this, in all our carreer we have always tried to play every gig, no matter how bad the circumstances might have been, but tonight it is just beyond our control. As far as we know the other Brazilian shows in Sao Paulo and Curitiba are not affected, so hope to see you guys there.

Next stop: Brazil

The 2012 festival season has started for us and two shows were played already, both were a lot of fun for us. Of course (as always on festivals) I missed all the bands that I wanted to see myself (Sodom on the Sweden Rock Cruise and Powerwolf & Freak Kitchen at the PPM Fest in Belgium), but since there are many more festivals to come I guess I will have some other chances to catch them, at least I am optimistic. Next stop for us is Brazil, where we will play a big festival and a couple of headlining shows, followed by a show in Montevideo and another festival in Chile. South America, be prepared, we'll be back soon!

Randy Rhoads

30 years ago we lost one of the best guitarists ever: Randy Rhoads. His work on Ozzy's first 2 albums (as well as his work on the first 2 Quiet Riot albums) was so outstanding, it still inspires and influences me today. Rest in peace Randy and thank you for your music!
