SOUND STORM European Tour - 18th Dec: PRATTELN

Here we are at Club Trabendo in Paris. Yesterday we played one of the best clubs in Europe, Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland.

Here we are at Club Z7 in Pratteln Switzerland, one of the best clubs in Europe, after two days spent in Italy.

Me, Christopher from Therion, Anton and Masha from Arkona

Yesterday it was the turn of Lausanne: we left from Eindhoven at 2 am and it was a really long trip, also because we stopped 2 hours at the border with Switzerland...we arrived very late at the venue Les Docks, it was 3 pm and because of the delay was not possible for us Sound Storm do the soundcheck.

SOUND STORM European Tour - 14th Dec: EINDHOVEN METAL MEETING

Sound Storm + Heavenshine dinner

Yesterday our tour made a ​​stop at the most important indoor metal festival in Europe, Eindhoven Metal Meeting. In the bill of our day played great bands like Arcturus, Coroner, Impaled Nazaren, and also Italian Aborym and Elvenking, whom I had the opportunity to meet on May 3 2013 with my Evenoire when we shared the stage at Honky Tonky near Milan.

SOUND STORM European Tour - 13th Dec: JENA

F -Haus, Jena, East Germany: looking out from the windows of the tourbus I immediately realized that this town must be really characteristic. There was a really rich buffet this morning, during breakfast Thomas Vikstrom and his daughter Linnea sang traditional Norwegian songs dedicated to Saint Lucia. You know, in Norway, in honor of Santa Lucia are big celebrations, but also in Cremona we celebrate her, when I was a child she brought me gifts with her donkey :)

SOUND STORM European Tour - 12th Dec: BRNO

Today it was the turn of Brno, in Czech Republic! The venue Semilasso is a beautiful theater made ​​by wood: the concert hall when we arrived was full of tables, in fact at 2pm there was a traditional Christmas Fest with dances and music performed by children for grandparents....I took a look and it was really fun to watch the traditional dances and listen to music performed by very young but highly trained interpreters! 

SOUND STORM European Tour - 11th Dec: WIEN

Today we came back to Wien, this time on the stage of Club Szene: after the great venues of East Europe here the backjstage is small and also the hall is not huge as the previous clubs.
The morning began with a stop at a gas station where I drank a chocolate that tastes like dirty water.
