As announced a few days ago, we are confirmed for the annual Close-Up voyage from Stockholm.

However, there is no show scheduled for us during the Baltic Sea crossing, instead, we will deliver our death metal darkness at a layover in Tallinn [ Estonia ] on September 6th.

That afternoon concert, alongside Skitsystem and Intrepid, is a FREE ENTRY - ALL AGES gathering hosted by Paavli Kultuurivabrik, in other words there is absolutely no excuse for any bangers of the cruise, Estonia or even southern Finland not to attend.

Hoist the sails!

September 5th 'til 7th, across the open sea with our comrades.

Tickets out tomorrow!

1. Half empty or half full?
Filled up to max! Jokes aside, at the moment I try to think positive, as I’ve been thru quite a lot this past fall. So right now, it's half full.

2. Death metal. Rock-hard or hard rock?
It’s hard rock. I don't listen that much to death metal to be honest… and very few rock hard. I’m a softy, a big teddy bear/beer.

3. Three all-time favorite albums?
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
King Diamond - Them

But it's really impossible to rank only 3 albums.

4. Most influential drummer?
For me it's Ingo Schwichtenberg, original drummer in Helloween. He was the first drummer I heard playing fast double bass.

5. Your deepest music related secret?
I used to be quite good at playing guitar, but after my cardiac arrest back in 2014, my fingers don't work as they used to. I can still play, but not as good.  Also, I really love Freedom Call and euro disco.

Seventh death!
