"Since the latest news, I received tons of e-mails asking me about my health situation. But no, I'm fine! I could walk on walls these days, hahaha. Because of a difficult family situation, Todde's [guitarist Torsten Ihlenfeld] not able to play any live shows for the next months so we decided to spend the time in our rehearsal room, writing new songs for the next album to be released in the fall 2009! But, of course, we we will play many festivals in the spring and summer 2009 to promote the old shit and some new songs as well. So thanx for all the 'best wishes,' but I'm fine."

BRAINSTORM's latest album, "Downburst", registered the following first-week chart positions: Hungary: #15; Germany: #53; Switzerland: #96.
