GRAVE DIGGER, MANNI SCHMIDT CHECKING IN FROM THERION TOUR
GRAVE DIGGER guitarist Manni Schmidt has check in from the band's current European tour with THERION:
"After breaking the first ground and having done three shows, warm-up is nearly complete and I'm glad about all the positive reactions! The new songs seem to be a crowd pleaser. Some of the fans were irritated about GRAVE DIGGER being the second band on the stage. We arranged this with THERION due to the fact that they really expend great effort. In Germany we'll be playing the whole set while we'll play a slightly shorter set abroad where THERION will be official headliner. But we feel comfortably in that mid position, the fans aren't too exhausted and can give everything at the gig. Also there's time enough to give autographs at the merchandise stand which is received pretty well."
