I'm ver happy to announce my endorsement deals with IBANEZ GUITARS and ENGL AMPLIFIERS. I'm honored of having been given this big opportunity to play with these great rigs, which I already used on tour around Europe with Labyrinth!

Day THIRTYSIX:Karlsruhe(DE)
Being the last day on tour, I will post this day before the show itself, as i dunno if i'll be capable of doing it later
A nice venue, my cold is a bit better and maybe i can make it not to die on stage.
It's the very last show and after almost 40 days away from home ( including travels from and to Italy), I must admit that now I feel some need to see my mountains again.
It's been a long journey and probably none of us had any idea about what to find once wandering around for such a long time.
We are surely stronger now as a band, and as persons. It's been nice to see we made it to share such a small environment like a tourbus all together without any tension.
We come back with the certainty of having done our best in order to spread the name LABYRINTH as much as possible.
People appreciated us a lot, and we feel like we did something good here.
Only time will tell if this has been worth it, but for sure this is something i won't easily forget.
Thanks to everybody who's been around with me, and thanks to Sonata Arctica and their crew for having been really nice guys, surely the best headlining band we ever had the chance to meet along the years.
They need no shit like cutting our soundcheck, no lights nor anything intentionally done in order to damage the other musicians, and this something I really appreciated.
We had the chance to share some cup of Vodka or Jagermeister every now and then, and they've all been friendly and absolutely down to earth. These are the bands who deserve something, and many other bigger names should learn a lot from them.
Hope to see you soon again, someday, somewhere.
I will close this diary with the same sentence which Roberto uses in the end of every show: WE ARE LABYRINTH.
Cheers
Olaf

Day THIRTYFOUR: Haarlem (NL)
Ok let's face it: Holland has the best venues for what concerns the Live shows.
They are just perfectly arranged, people are always nice and everything proceeds just smoothly.
Too bad we only had 2 shows in this wonderful Country!
Update about my health: almost dead, but show must go on
Too bad the machine went out of batteries, so no pics for today :(

Day THIRTYTHREE: Eindhoven (NL)
WOW!
What a VENUE!
EFFENAAR is a 5 floors building entirely dedicated to Concerts.
Since the parking area for the busses to the loading area, the wardrobe for the musicians, an entire floor for Catering area, washing machines etc...
in a single word: INCREDIBLE!
The whole day has been wonderful, and the show has been great as well. Too bad my cold is getting worse :(

Day THIRTYTWO: day off
First day in Holland,and we've a day off.
All the bands and the crew decided to have a pleasant night in a Bowling, where everybody's been free to show off his own abilities (LOL...abilities?ahahah)
I felt quite bad, by the way, and had to go to sleep really early in order to recover
