Day 31 - Essen

And we're done! Did our last 40 minutes of rocking together in 2009 in Essen, where this mighty fine tour ended. No last date pranks on this tour (we were adviced to behave if we wanted to live to see home again), just solid, killer gigs from all three bands. We sure had a blast on stage during this last show, which ended way too fast. After the show I had this weird, empty feeling for a while. That's it? How could this tour go by so fast? Still, nothing but good times and memories, everyone got along great and things ran smoothly night after night.

Amorphis invited Ari on stage to join them for "House of Sleep", which was way cool. All three bands plus most of the crew stayed up all night celebrating the end of the tour together (the venue stayed open untill the wee hours, they had a "metal disco" going on), and after just a couple of hours of sleep it was time to head to the airport to catch our flight home.

So, dear readers, that's pretty much it! The tour was great and we had fun keeping you guys updated on our journey. Now it's time to write some songs for the fifth album. Keep checking amoralweb.com and our Myspace for updates!
