Tobias Sammet has sent us the following statement: "The fans have spoken! On behalf of my buddies Jens, Dirk, Eggi and Felix: Thank you all so much! We have been quite vocal about how much we love this album but it is an amazing feeling to learn that you agree. We wanna thank the whole world of rock and metal for the great reactions. It took us 22 years into our career to celebrate the biggest success of our band history? Seriously? That's amazing! We will always be thankful and we will work our asses off to reward you with a big show on the world tour in autumn. See you there and cheerzz, the 'Love Tyger' ;) "
