Lethal Epidemy back to Europe


First day 20:
Aproaching Helsinki, preparing for the beginning of tour, Eduardo (singer) is already there with our great friends For�a Macabra. Tonight we will drive from Helsinki to Tampere for our first gig, let's see how it gonna be...
Sept 20th gig in Tampere:
Good people there, crust young punks in the house. Very intensive, classic finish style young bands like Rampage and Akupunktio on stage. We played the new record set list starting with Ben��o da Morte and Sem Controle. The audience was very friendly and got tuned to our set all the time. Very good mood in general at Vastavirta, very good friends and good bands playing... Always nice to play in Tampere!!!


Sunday 21st: Gig in Factory - Helsinki!!
Unfortunately Factory venue is going to close this month, for us it is a very special date, the opportunity to play again in this classic finish venue before they go out of business. The first band Sotavamma and second band Catharina (girls band) were very, very intensive and very agressive. After Catharina was our turn to play. We started our set list with Ben��o da Morte, the place was crowded and the audience was fucking great. The sound was nice, everybody in a good mood, the energy was flowing around. Very intensive gig, Eduardo, Ricardo, Claudinei and I played hard&heavy, so a perfect gig!! After that was For�a Macabra turn playing fucking aggressive as usual, very good! We played our old song "upstand from dust" together For�a Macabra+Armagedom, fucking nice! Last band was Kuolema that's fucking pure finish HC band!!! Screaming and noise in tha house!! Great gig from Kuolema!!! A very great night!!!

Monday 22nd:
We got the flight to Milan and started the tour with Koppa (Agipunk) doing the van. First stop at Kluster pub in Alexandria (Italy), a nice brand new place with cool decoration. First band to play was Guilted, nice Italian HC crust band, very intensive. Surprisely many people came to see the gig, very difficult for a monday night. Julian from Cripple Bastards also came to see the gig what made me feel very happy. We had some problems with the amps setup and in my opinion we did not play as good as the other two days. Some discussions between me and bass player about instruments volume, but nothing too serious! The gig was ok, could be better anyway...


Tuesday 23rd:
At Pieffe Factory Gorizia... Very nice venue, good stage, good equipment and very organized. We had no other bands playing this night, just us. Now I am more familiar with the Randall head and with the rest of equipment. It was a good night, a good number of people came to see us and we could met the friends from Nolla Osla Croacia and also some new friends from Slovenia and Italy. As we played alone we extended the gig playing the new record and also old songs. It was very nice.


Wednesday 24th:
Going to Austria by the middle of mountains and turist cities using a tourist route, we save the toll charges and can enjoy the nice landscape of this region. We got to pmk in Innsbruck, very nice venue and good food too! This time we played together with Limb from Limb, a canadian band. Friendly guys, they played first. I have to say it was very fucking great gig, very finest death metal stenchcore band. I was really impressed with their quality. Very precise and powerful!! the people down there liked it a lot. After that it was our turn to go to stage. I didn't expect to much but for my surprise the gig was very intensive, the people got crazy and we had very, very good times in PMK, we had to play some extra songs cause the people was so excited we couldn't stop. A remarkable day!!!!


Thursday 25th - Esslingen @ Komma, Germany
Until now the places that we are going are very nice, organized and in general we have been very well treated. Yesterday was not a exception. A good venue, good food, beers and a good place for sleeping. Beside that, the gig was not good at all, less than 30 cold people in the audience including the guys from Limb from Limb in front of me, so basically we played our set list and just that. After that we had another chance to see the cool gig of Limb from Limb, cool to see the band again. After that we went to sleep. Tomorrow we will go to Mullhein where we hope to meet our friends Stachel and BombenAlarm crew. Let's see...


Friday 26th - Mullhein @ AZ
We are back to AZ but our friends Stachel and BombenAlarm crew moved to others cities. That's a nice venue, very friendly people, good bedroom, good food and very organized, it's nice to be here again. This time Limb from Limb played first, they sounded very intensive as usual and the audience was very receptive, I was in front of stage and enjoyed it very much. After that was our turn. The audience was very receptive as well and also enjoyed our music, really good gig. We played the set list and some old songs. Much beer and good chat with many friends after!!! A nice friday for us!!!!


Saturday 27th - Gottingen @ Juzi
Juzi is totally new for us, we went directly to the venue but there was nothing prepared so we did a downtown walk. When back we tasted the most spiced food of our tour!!! Really fucking hot! But the important is the gig, the venue has two places for gigs, a big one at the first floor and one small at the basement, we mounted the amps, cabinets and drums in the small place. Some local guys played some songs before but it was more like kidding than anything else, let's say just for fun... The place was crowded after a while so it was time to play. We played in the middle of people, the stage has space just for the drums. The atmosphere was very agressive and the people went crazy, what made me very happy!!! A real agressive gig. We played all the song from our set list but the audience asked for more, so we included some old songs like Super Projetos. We started this song, the people down there went fucking crazy, but a accident happened in the beginning of it, a guy hitted my guitar switch with the head and broke it, so we had to stop the gig... It was a pity, the gig was going so fucking great!


Sunday 28th - Berlim @ Komma-F
first I need to check if my guitar is still working.... We are back to Komma-F, the Berlim's underground venue! We were not expecting many people around cause it is sunday and many gigs are happening this month... and this sunday too. The band before us is Black Blood World from Norway, a crustcore band. Their performance was very intensive, I appreciated a lot their intensity, very good crust! After them is our time to go to stage. Fortunately my guitar is working although the switch is now on just one position. We start our set list with Corrupto and the crowd get the mood and enjoy it a lot! Many people in the audience including our friend Fault from Limb from Limb, Jessica and Koppa! We played the entire set list with such a good reception from audience, the gig goes very nice. At the end of our set list the people ask for more and we include three old songs "Super Projetos", "Politicos, Militares, Religiosos" and "Mentes Insanas". What a such good gig, I was really happy to play again in Komma F and to had a very good reception.


Monday 29th - Dresdem @ Cafe Pawlow
We got to this nice small bar at Dresdem Germany. Btw, very nice city. The bar is in the middle of a area with other cool bars and venues, a cool place to expend some hours drinking and chlling out. It will be just us to play in the corner of the bar. At 22hs we started to play with "Corrupto" and followed the set list. Part of audience was kinda cold but everyone stayed to the end of gig. Well, it was pretty nice for a monday, the organizers was very nice to us, let's move on to Prague!!!!


Tuesday 30th - Prague @ 007 club
A nice venue, good food, backstage area, very organized! We met Barvak from Insane Society records, he is releasing our Album "Sem Esperan�as" , great to meet him during this tour!!! First band to play is Pizza O.D. from France that does no distortion punk rock. Nice sound! After them is time to Margaret Trasher from Canada that does no dirtotion hardcore, very interesting sound too. The third band to play is Morkhimmel, a crust metal band from Chez. Morkhimmel was very intense, tight and powerful music, I enjoyed it a lot!! After that is our time to play, the 007 is crowded, we checked the sound, we are ready so let's do it! The people got crazy and it was really intense experience to play in Prague! The funny thing was that Ricardo our drummer forgot the song "Sem Controle", we tried it three times and no way!!! Really funny!!! Well, we jump to next song and everything was back to normal. At the end of our set list we tried that song again and now it worked out!!! So, no big damages at all. But the crowd wanted for more and we play three old songs in sequence. The asked one more so we also played Poison of Death! Well, it was very great gig, crowded and energetic!!! Tomorrow we will be in Poland!


October 1st - Woclaw @ Wagon Club
Now we are in Poland to do two gigs, the first one is on Woclaw at Wagon Club, an interesting venue localized under a deactivated old train station. First band to play is HGW, a local crust band. I liked their music but what called my attention most was their drummer, very powerful and technical drums style. It was our time to go playing, it was not crowded but ok anyway. We played our set list as usual. The audience was there although they were kinda cold except for some dudes in front of stage.


October 2nd - Rzeszow @ 1/4 mille
We are in another interesting venue under a huge Volleyball stadium, a cool place called 1/4 mille with decoration based or cars stuff like engine parts. The first band to play is Suffering Mind, a grindcore band with a girl on the vocals, nice music. The second band is The Bold and the Beatiful, a screamo band. We are the third band to play, when we got the stage there were many people in the audience. We start to play and the people get crazy!!! We played our set list and the people wanted for more and more, so we included five old songs "Super Projetos", "Politicos, Militares, Religiosos", "Mentes Insanas", "Poison of Death" and "Sofrer Demais". This was a fucking great night, so thank you Rzeszow and Gustaw (the organizer) for such great time!


October 3rd - Berno @ Yatch Club
Back to Chez Republic, now at Yatch Club in Berno, the venue is nice, good space for bands and for the audience. We met our friends from See You in Hell, a very good reception! It's always nice to meet some distant friends!! The food was great too! The first band to play is evidencesmrti, good crustcore. The second band is Roxor, also a good crustcore. The third band is Zemezluc, a punk rock band from 80's, it is very interesting see some old bands like us still playing. The venue is crowded, everybody jumping, dancing, a very good atmosphere in the house. The band after is Lyncathrophy, a crust band with a girl that is very intensive on the vocals, very, very good band! The crowd got really crazy with Lyncatropic, I enjoyed them a lot! When we got to the stage, the venue was full so I felt it would be a great night. We started the gig and the audience got the mood and follow all songs dancing, jumping and asking for more!!! When we ended the set list, we included "Super Projetos", "Politicos, Militares, Religiosos", "Mentes Insanas", "Sofrer Demais" and "Upstand from dust". It was a really good gig, a perfect night!


October 4th - Bratislava @ Obuda Club
We went to Bratislava, capital of Eslovaquia to play at Obuda Club. Good space for the crowd, good stage, covered of flyers on the walls, awesome! But we were informed one important fellow from this venue passed away in the day before, so the people was not in the best mood what I perfectly understand and respect. The first band to play is Roxor, the same that played in Brno with us. They did a good crust concert, the singer catch the attention, always moving!! The second band is Ad Acta, they did one minute of silence for their friend that died in the day before. Ad Acta makes metalic crust core, I enjoyed the riffs!!!! The third band is Morkhmell, they played together with us in Prague, now is their second gig ever and believe it was great! Very intensive riffs, strong bass guitar, powered drums and fucking great singer, very good performance and voice! Very very good! After that, again is our turn to go to stage. Some guys in front of stage start to pogo, hardcore attitude! ;-) The crowd was there enjoying the gig, good people, a good saturday in Bratislava.


October 5th - Vienna @ EKG
Well, this is the last day of our tour. For us it was a very good tour at all, we could meet good people, the reception from the organizers and the crowd was very good, so I cannot complaint of anything at all. We got to EKG, a very organized squat, have our food and prepared to play, this night was supposed to have Los Dollares playing with us but they had a problem with their car and could not come, so it is just Armagedom to end the tour in Vienna. Before the gig we met some brazilian friends that live in Vienna what is always nice! The gig started at 23:30hs, our first song was "Corrupto". Good audience for a sunday, we did our set list, the audience enjoyed it, very good at all. We had the opportunity of being introduced to Carolina, singer of Ruidosa Imundicia, a Austrian band, awesome! In my opinion this night was very good, everything ok.
Well, this is the last day of our tour. For us it was a very good tour at all, we could meet good people, the reception from the organizers and from the crowd was very good, so it was perfect! We had no problems like broken van, cancelled gigs, bad equipment so I need to thank Koppa from Agipunk that booked the tour and drove the van for us, for sure he and the local organizers were the responsible for such good tour.
