| Back home, tired but satisfied, still suffering from jet lag, it´s not easy to reflect the past 12 months:
Countless impressions from great shows, enthusiastic fans, concert halls, hotels, airports, tour buses, sound checks, and interviews are spinning in our heads, making it very difficult to rest.
Although we thought our last tour for the "Legacy" album hab been a climax in the band´s carreer, the Hellish Rock World Tour we did to promote our album "Gambling with the Devil" turned out even better and surpassed our expectations.
Once more, the tour led us all over the planet:
We played 96 shows in 36 countries in Europe, America, Asia and Australia.
We met many good friends from the past again, but also discovered some places we´ve never been to before, met new fans and made some friends.
A very special "THANK YOU" goes to our management and our crew, whose hard work made it all possible – and, of course, our partners in crime for this tour, our buddies of GAMMA RAY! It was fun touring with you guys, you definitely contributed your part to make this tour so special for all our fans!
After we will have had some rest and our heads are clear again, we´ll give it some thought of how to come up with something real special for the 25th anniversary of the band!
Yours, Michael Weikath
