Finnish gothic metallers TO/DIE/FOR have just returned from Lebanon where they performed on November 13th at Forum de Beyrouth using session guitarists Mika "Alli" Ahtiainen and Toni Toikkanen from Helsinki.
Reports the band: "Show went well. Audience was very nice. Promoters were professionals. It was so nice to be there and had a new friends also. We left a little pieces of our hearts in Beirut.
We just want to tell you all people here in the west, if you have a possibility to go there for a holiday, you surely should go!
It is very nice city. People are so lovely and friendly. Beirut is not a town of war, it is town of smiles, good food, friendliest people in the world and a lot of people who love rock and roll. We are surely going back there soon as possible. All travelers check it out!"
To/Die/For recently recorded four new songs for record labels and management companies only. The tracks include 'Angelica', 'Unknown III', 'My Hysteria', 'Sad' (working title). 'Angelica' and 'Sad' are currently streaming on the band's MySpace page. The songs will be mixed by Tonmi Lillman soon.
About the new material vocalist Jape Perätalo commented recently: "Finally we have songs with that 'thing and feeling' we have always dreamt about."
