Dear Friends and Fans,
We just finished our European tour with Arch Enemy, Mercenary and Sister Sin, which we played with our new line-up for the first time. Were really feeling like a unity, having a great time on the road although we had to go through some technical problems here an there. It was very nice to meet our fans and friends again!
One of the finest moments on this tour was playing with Doro, celebrating her 25th anniversary together with 8.000 fans and other bands and musicians (see picture with Liv, Tarja, Floor, Sabina, Ji-In and Girlschool). We also played at the 25th anniversary of Germanys 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 up-coming year; 27.2. 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!
We wish you all nice holidays and a happy New Year. May all your wishes come true in 2009!
Yours truly
Leaves Eyes
