World Trade Center - Manila  (Philippines)

 

Great,

the typhoon has parked his violent core far off the coast above the ocean.. 

Which means our flights are on and nobody is in danger coming to the show. Our first gig in Manila is going to happen! 

And it comes with a giant bat and pyros (probably no license, haha..) Our promoters from Pulp magazine are taking very good care of us. Nice hotel, way too much food and lot of excitement about the show tomorrow. We are the first European metal band to stir up some live madness over here. Damn. Its about time!

Michael and Daniel doing a signing for Dean Guitars / Pearl Drums before the show. Next day will be a very early flight and a show in Hong Kong. So I sleep most of the day.. Kinda refilling my batteries for the next 36 hours of sleep depravity to come.

I am totally awake and ready to do this show. I wanna see the giant bat in action.. It blows a lot of smoke during ‘My Apocalypse’.. Funny shit!

The giant bat, spitting smoke:

 

We Will Rise – Fire!

The Grande Finale – Nemesis!

 

Manila knows how to thrash!

 

Stage action!

 

 

Signing session Dean Guitar & Pearl
Drums

 

 

Michael and his pale twin-brother from the
twilight zone!

 

Arch Enemy has 2 bass players from now on – sludge doom core!

No typhoons, just palm trees and pools.. I was just waiting for the pretty scenery to turn to absolute horror.. movie style.

 ….

Yeah.. lots of great memories!! We will be back.. But first we have to survive Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul and Jakarta
