I just realized that this venue in Umeå (Idun) is the same we played back in February 2007. That was the show called "House of Metal". It's a cool place, kind of theatre-like hall with rows of seats in a steep upward design. Only problem is that it's a bit too big for this kind of shows. But who cares anyway, the good thing is that the stage is really big.

Our backline tech-guy Emanuel (he lives up here in the north) knew some good tattoo artist in Umeå, so he called them in to our our backstage and they updated Peters left arm a bit. Also, TV4 was here and did some interviews. Busy day..

The show was great and Umeå really kicked ass. Loads of people and a great atmosphere! Johan was brought up on stage with our support act Raubtier to play some serious iPhone-drums... well, don't ask...
Here we also met our friends in Zonaria who we were touring with on the European Tour 2007. Nice to see those guys again!

So next stop is Luleå, the last one in Sweden until November. After Luleå we are heading over to Finland to continue our crusade.
