This
was – hands down – the toughest tour we have done so far. So many flights,
countries, new places, old friends and very early wake up calls.. I didn't
think it would go so smoothly and we would actually make our 42 hour flight
from New Zealand via San Francisco and Frankfurt back home to Copenhagen
airport. But we did! And here I am, trying to remember the crazy ride we have
been on for a whole month.
17-October-2009
@ Loud Park ‘09 Makuhari Messe
9-11 – Tokyo
(Japan)
Our
3rd time we are playing this massive festival! Sharing the stage
with Judas Priest and Megadeth this time around makes it even better! We go on
right before Megadeth – with a very different setlist than usual:
BURY
ME AN ANGEL
REVOLUTION
BEGINS
THE
IMMORTAL
RAVENOUS
BEAST
OF MAN
PILGRIM
THE
LAST ENEMY
I
WILL LIVE AGAIN
DEMONIC
SCIENCE
BRIDGE
OF DESTINY
NEMESIS
+ BRIDGE OUTRO
We
actually played ‘Demonic Science’ for the very first time live and only at
Loudpark, hehe. And for the record: Megadeth killed!
Nice
to meet Shawn Drover from Megadeth, lots of cool fans at the meet’n’greet,
Tetsu & Aya from our label Trooper Entertainment, the lovely Creative Man
crew, our friends.. Japan is our 2nd home. Has been for a while. If
I could just afford an apartment in Tokyo, haha.. Well, we will just keep
coming back ‘til the end of our days! A million thanx to our fans for the
raging show!
Check
out this cool live clip I found:
And of course,
