 Liv Kristine, vocalist with Leaves' Eyes has issued a recap of the bands recent performance at the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany, as well as unveiling four new photo galleries which the band have made available.
She said "Hopefully many of you had the chance to visit Wacken Open Air this
summer! Playing in front of around 80,000 people was truly amazing. The
whole concert was like one magic moment, moreover, we had brought along
our Viking ship which is something we do only at very special events.
"It was just a pity that you couldn't see all of the great visual
effects of the show, because the sun was still shining at 8:00pm and it
was not dark enough. We brought a lot of extra lights and FX gear
including a big projection screen and animations to each of the songs.
Our crew prepared everything one day before and worked until 6 am in
the morning. As always they did an outstanding job ('no sleep until the
ship is ready on stage') to make this dream come true. I have no words
to express how grateful we all are towards our crew, the Wacken
organisors and towards everybody else helping the band in any way.
"A big thank you to the audience, to all the fans who came to Wacken
to support us and travelled a long way to see us. Thanks also to
drummer Alex Holzwarth for helping us out at the show. The recordings
of our third full-length album are almost completed as well. It's such
a wonderful thing to work in our own amazing newly built Mastersound
Studio.
"However, in the middle of everything happening I decided to travel
back home to Norway with my family to gather more information and
inspiration for future concepts and lyrics. We spent many days by the
sea and travelled through the fjords and up into the mountains. I will
surely give some of these experiences and images back to you on our
next album."
