Yes, the Gorefilia touring cycle is finally over.
Last Saturday we played the last show of this promotion cycle that was also our last show in Portugal for a long time… and what an epic way to do it!
It has been a hell of a ride, with the natural ups and downs, but in the end we can really say it was probably the best promotion cycle we’ve ever done in 16 years of non-stop grinding.
We had the pleasure to play Gorefilia in the most wonderful cities for the most brutal audiences, working with some of the greatest promoters in Europe, but now the time has come for us to stop and focus on our future endeavors.
As such, we must share some words of appreciation and respect to all those who made this possible.
Our eternal gratitude goes out, in the first place, to all the beautiful people in Paços de Ferreira (PT), Porto (PT), Barroselas (PT), Lisbon (PT), Barreiro (PT), Figueira da Foz (PT), Almada (PT), Aveiro (PT), Loulé (PT), Moita (PT), Évora (PT), Viseu (PT), Caldas da Rainha (PT), Viana do Castelo (PT), Braga (PT), Guimarães (PT), Barcelos (PT), Benavente (PT), Beja (PT), Tui (SP), Vigo (SP), Santiago D.C.

Thanks for the great gigs and great times!
Thanks also to our session vocalist and long time friend Ricardo S. for accepting the challenge of spending 18 months on the road with us without even blinking after our last frontman’s abrupt departure. Without you we would hardly make it!
This does not mean that we will cease our live activity. To tell you the truth it’s quite the opposite, as we are finishing details for some new shows and tours for 2014.
