Scandinavia

Awakened Sins European Tour

After having a few personal issues (I won’t mention them to protect the privacy of my band) and spending time in Norway visiting Fjord’s, hiking and visiting the local Viking museum, we headed down towards beautiful Sweden and its capital city Stockholm.

In Sweden, we continued to play to our grateful fans (plus touring is very expensive so we need the money), feeling the music take over everything else. We visited cultural museums, and Stockholm’s shopping centres, before another concert and meet and greet with fans.

We continued onto Finland’s capital Helsinki. We felt like we were among greatness, strangers to the world of metal music that surrounded this beautiful place. Sweden and Finland have some of the best bands, while Norway has some of our favourite black metal bands (obviously we all belong in Scandinavia). In Sweden we enjoyed the local scenery and shopping centres, and in Finland we visited a sauna (thanks to our Finnish descent bassist. We discovered our guitarist is Norwegian, yet he was raised in England), as well as visiting the local Finnish parks and admiring the amazing view.

We also visited Denmark for our tour. There we went sight-seeing around the Copenhagen landscapes and also baked Danish pastries, yum! The locals found it strange to see four men dressed in all-black baking pastries haha but we enjoyed ourselves.
