BRAINSTORM Guitarist Issues Post-European Tour Update

March 28, 2008

Guitarist Torsten "Todde" Ihlenfeld from German melodic metallers BRAINSTORM has issued the following update:

"The Braintrain rolled through Europe on full steam and we are back home now preparing for the summer festivals and more shows in the fall.

"Let me say that this tour really was a blast and so typical for BRAINSTORM with all the hassle in the run-up for the tour such as the re-booking of some dates due to reasons beyond our control... the whole band starting the tour with a flu, lost cymbals, some serious food poisoning, all the usual 'Spinal Tap' tour adventures and not to forget myself, as I had to sit out some dates of the tour due to very important and serious family issues that beared no delay. Having said that, I would like to thank our good friend and guitar wizard Tom Naumann for helping out here on guitars and doing an amazing job in filling in for me on the dates that I unfortunately had to miss. You delivered the goods, brother! Thanks a lot. Also, Toni (Ieva) did an amazing job on bass as well, that guy really knows how to groove, so thanks for the warm welcome you Brainiacs gave both killer-bumble-Bs, Toni and Tom.

"Please find some first pictures for your viewing pleasure and watch out for more pics and some personal words and views reflecting the tour from each of us soon. To all you Brainiacs out there, thanks for a great tour, you rule! See you on the summer festivals!!!"

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

Metal Blade in June 2007 released the first-ever BRAINSTORM DVD, "Honey from the B's (Beasting around the Bush)". The box set was released in digipack format "with special metal effect." The disc entered the Hungarian Music DVD chart at position No. 18.
