Welcome to the I WALK THE LINE Black Wave Rising! release show at Tavastia tonight! And one thing.. even though the newpapers today might say the tickets are 27 euros, they still are 8 euros (advance) and 10 euros (door) - so don't worry we haven't sold out that bad just yet! ;)

Sorry to everybody who has had to wait for for their orders to be delivered, mails to be answered and so on.. two of us three daily shitworkers got ill and/or had other kinds of bad luck at the worst possible time but now we have almost been able to catch up with things.

Those who have been able to work at the office, have also been extremely busy with getting things done here in Finland - luckily there is a good amount of interest for what we do here at the moment and this has been our first priority during the last few weeks.. it may be hard for people in other countries to picture this but the weeks they were released, THE HEARTBURNS entered the national sales charts at #17, ABDUKTIO at #30, I WALK THE LINE single at #12.. let's see how the IWTL album does :) Thanks for your countinued support, people!
