BATTLELORE keyboardist Maria has posted a Finnish Fire tour blog online. An excerpt is available below.

Barcelona, Mephisto - Nov. 20th:

"Aaaah, Barcelona and the sunny, warm Spain! After hearing that there were snow storms in Finland, back home, we were really happy to be on tour… As we woke up quite early and went straight to the beach, drank some sauna-beers and had breakfast in the sun. Wow. There were fans waiting by the club early on, so we knew this would be a great night! It was. The Spanish crowd is always amazing. So, to celebrate the great evening, we drank some sauna-beers ;)"

Madrid, Sala Live - Nov. 22nd:

"We return to Madrid! It’s always been so great being in Madrid, and this time was no different! Thanks to our friend Alex, who always takes such good care of us, the girls had some proper vegetarian food and the guys got great meat! The venue was packed, I think we had about 400 people in that small venue, and as it was Saturday night, it meant a huge party for all the bands! The afterparty was also amazing - Finnish Fire-crew showed Spanish people how to party!"

Erfurt, Centrum - Nov. 27th:

"Another of those really nice, old German cities, we’d never heard of before the tour. A beautiful centre with all the Christmas lights and stuff - it’s hard to remember it’ll be Christmas soon with all that’s happening on tour. Maybe we’ll have a soon-to-be-Christmas celebration one of these days on tour… Although there seem to be enough reasons to celebrate even with no Christmas coming, heheh! Anyways - a great show again, and loads of Battlelore fans around. We heard that quite a lot of people had driven to Erfurt to see Battlelore, since we had to cancel the show in Glauchau… Wonderful people, and we were allowed to play for over an hour to give the best songs to the best people! After the great show and nice adrenaline flowing through our veins, we had some sauna-beers and enjoyed the atmosphere."
