Turku, Finland

Ready, steady, ...

Yep! Tomorrow we're heading to Helsinki-Vantaa airport and fly Helsinki=>NYC=>Orlando with Barren Earth guys and some people, who will hate all the noise we manage to generate together. Let's see, how many g&t's it takes for the airline staff to stop serving this bunch of grind/metal/proge-retards. Our plan is to land in NYC/JFK, go through immigration+customs and run to the flight to Orlando, where we're jumping on the nightliners.

It's amazing, what 10 months of break from touring is doing to me (and probably the rest of the band too). It's very hard to explain, but the touring dynamics has something so fascinating built in it, that we end-up waiting for it almost every time we hit the road. I guess it's that (mostly) relaxed feel and stopping all hurry-worries for a few weeks. It's also kind-of deceiving, because at least half of the stress I've had during the past 1-2 months has been attached to this tour to begin, but even that can not make me think differently about our new mobile home, that will be introduced to me in something like 30+ hours from this point.

Sorry, no pictures or vids today... Hopefully we're having a wild way to Orlando to show something else besides this rant of mine. Keep posted, there's going to be a lot to tell until I'm back in Turku.

Time to get a glass of Scotch to get some sleep tonite. 8 hours and 45 minutes to go until the bus to Helsinki-Vantaa leaves.

Finnish Metal Tour Part 2

This is the place to be in, if you want to follow-up, what Rotten Sound is up to in February and early March 2011. There's still a few days to go before we begin our five week journey around the North America with Finntroll, Ensiferum and Barren Earth. Here's the route on map:

It's a long waaaay from Orland to Raleigh...

As Finnish people, we are obviously very interested to know, which states we can drive shitfaced, because there's a few miles on the route and none of us can tour sober for five weeks. I've seen and heard about 0.8-limits here and there and also some states, where you can't drink at all behind the wheel. We also like to keep our open containers in the car just in case someone wants to recycle them. I hope that's not a problem for anyone...


Anyway, see all of you at the shows (which we'll post in here some day soon when we get the updated route) and stay on-line for a press-release about something very interesting and important before the tour. Could it be the 1st video or the official Rotten Sound underwear-fashion-update for the upcoming spring? Remember, yellow in the front and brown in the...
