Nightrage Posts Greek Tour Blog

Greek metallers Nightrage have issued the following blog from their recent tour dates:

"Hey folks! Welcome to our tour diary, which will document our journey through ancient and fabled Greece, where Nightrage was born almost ten years ago! It's a great honour to once more set our feet here - we arrived yesterday, after some commotion at the airport, with our flight being canceled, but after some brief waiting we were on our way with a different plane, in business class too!

"A hearty continental breakfast and some great service was good preparation for our first show on the tour, which was played in the lovely coastal town of Patras, a very picturesque city with winding avenues, and an ancient and quite impressive Roman odeum. The venue was packed, and we shared the stage with no less than 5 other bands, one of them being our friends in Septicflesh - great crowd and great atmosphere, all in all a very nice opening show for this tour! It was also the smallest back stage room we ever squeezed ourselves into - but it was all good at the end of the day.

"Today started out great with some well deserved rest, sleeping way into the afternoon, and waking up to a warm, sunny Athens - something indescribably awesome for the Scandinavian part of the band, who have been subjected to around -10 for two months, so spring weather and 18 C is a blessing!

"We teamed up with director Bob Katsionis to make a video for the title track to our latest album, 'Wearing a Martyr's Crown,' which we were set to record in the awesome, newly built Zero Gravity Studios, built and owned by Terry Nikas, who was kind enough to let us use the studio for both recording the video and rehearsing - the recording of the video went great, and you guys will get to see it quite soon!

"Tomorrow it's back to playing shows, and we will destroy Agrinio with some old school melodic death metal! More from us soon, stay tuned to this blog for more updates from our Greek metal odyssey! Cheers!"
