LEAVES' EYES Issues Tour Recap

December 27, 2008

LEAVES' EYES — the German/Norwegian band formed by ex-THEATRE OF TRAGEDY singer Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull and members of ATROCITY — has issued the following update:

"We just finished our European tour with ARCH ENEMY, MERCENARY and SISTER SIN, which we played with our new lineup for the first time. We're really feeling like a unity, having a great time on the road although we had to go through some technical problems here and there. It was very nice to meet our fans and friends again!

"One of the finest moments on this tour was playing with Doro [Pesch] [on December 13 in Düsseldorf, Germany], celebrating her 25th anniversary together with 8,000 fans and other bands and musicians. We also played at the 25th anniversary of Germany's first metal temple, the Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg, situated in our hometown. This was a very special night for everybody.

"2008 has been a quite turbulent year for us, finding two new members, producing our first DVD 'We Came With The Northern Winds - En Saga I Belgia' and our third full-length album. As the recordings progressed, we decided to name the album 'Njord'. It has a strong connection to Nordic mythology and history. The sound is truly massive, moreover, we have raised our own musical style to a new level. We are looking forward to both releases in the upcoming year; February 27th. The double DVD and including double live CD 'We Came With The Northern Winds - En Saga I Belgia' will be released, and soon after around spring-time the album 'Njord' will be out.

"2009 will be a year of many exciting, important and positive happenings for both LEAVES' EYES and our wonderful fans. We will see you on tour!"

The cover artwork for "We Came With The Northern Winds - En Saga I Belgia", can be viewed below. According to a press release, "The first disc comprises 'We Came With The Northern Winds', a band documentary with a running time of two hours. The movie highlights the band's career and offers fans an exclusive and intimate glimpse into the world of LEAVES' EYES, as well as presenting the viewer with impressions of past tours (222 concerts spanning over four continents and 34 countries). The second disc documents LEAVES' EYES' memorable headlining gig on October 20, 2007 at the Metal Female Voices Fest in Wieze, Belgium. The show featured the legendary Viking longboat stage set, as well as a setlist full of fan favorites. The package also delivers a double audio CD of the show as a special bonus."

"We Came With The Northern Winds - En Saga I Belgia" will be released as a deluxe eight-panel DVD digipack and slipcase as well as in CD format as a deluxe eight-panel digipack and slipcase.
