December 25

 

The show at the Headbangers Ballroom in Hamburg, Germany brought back to life old friends from all over! Nice to see you all again. Merry Christmas!

 

That same night two windows of our backline Van got smashed in a closed garage in the center of Hamburg, even though it had video surveillance! Police claimed for the tapes and we hope that our nightriders will be caught and brought to justice! Hang ‘em high!!

 

Luckily nothing was stolen, thanks to modern technology and our visitors were taken by surprise by an extra loud integrated alarm system the Van carried. But again we can see that no place in the world remains safe anymore….. what a shame!

 

GOD’S ARMY and MYSTIC PROPHECY announcement!!

 

As you know the event at the Matrix on December 17 was quite successful and we had our first in concert dvd shooting!

 

Unfortunately the sound engineer who was responsible for the audio recordings that evening managed not to record a single note!! How’s that?

 

We all decided to re-do the event because there is no point in cheating on the fans by recreating the sound in a recording studio trying to synchronize the visual frames.

 

Everyone is welcome back on January 7, 2006 to the Matrix in Bochum, Germany!! We hope to see you all again….. the entrance is free for everyone!

 

For those who did sign up for the first gig on the Rock Hard page, please send an email to management@mysticprophecy.com

November 18

 

So I guess it's no longer a secret! 

It is true that I joined Greek Guitarero Gus G. and his band Firewind!

We're about to record early 2006 their 4th CD (Century Media) and head for a tour sometime next year! 

 

For many fans this might sound irritating because I recently started the recordings with my own band God's Army. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of time for both bands at the moment. 

I'm more than excited and devoted to launch God's Army and am looking forward to being on the road next year with both bands!

 

I will see you all soon starting this December with GA in Germany!! click here for tour dates
