Hi, I am listening to your "a sudden outcome"-CD at the moment. It really kicks ass^^ The Sound quality is very good and the songs are all killers :-) I think you are a real special band in the whole extreme Metal Scene. There are not many bands who plays such an exciting death metal.
I hope I get the chance to see you guys again. viktor says there is maybe a chance that you play another gig in Germany ( I think he said next year...). I would be very happy if this will be happen :-)
