"Norway or No-Way" ~
Dear followers, supporters, friends, old and new, this trip has clearly left an indelible mark on our lives.
Norway has been able to give us the warmth of an entire community in the lightness of a smile or a kindly word, in the bitter taste of a beer or in the penetrating energy of the music we love and share with eachother.
Special thanks to Finn Håkon Rødland for the good time with us not only to exchange a few words and receive a gift that I prepared for him for the occasion, but for welcoming us at his side in a bar to delve deeper into this passion so profound and invincible that it shakes our hearts from within, enriching us as enthusiast of his work amd dedication, or then in a theater to experience together what proved to be the concert of a lifetime.
You are not just a good collector or an inspiration for me, but also a good friend, father, and man. The best I ever met.
I could spend infinite words to underline with emotion and courage all the protagonists of this adventure: Attila and Jørn of The True Mayhem for their sympathy and availability after the amazing ###X concert with Messiah, Teloch, Ghul and Manheim, Bard for the picture and the immense honor proved meeting him, Kenneth and Tyra of Neseblod Records for their commitment to restoring the promised land of every metalhead, miss Irene Andresen for the patch in memoriam of Øystein and the nice meeting during concert, the dear Pedro who we adopted on multiple occasions amidst a thousand laughs, David Corrales for giving me the setlists to sign, the friendly Tobias Flataker and Amandus Husevag, mr. Mikael of the apartment, Alex Martinez of Hate Couture for the picture repost, Leonardo, Teo, Alessandra, Prana, Emilia and many others...
Have care guys, we love you,
I miss you.
See you soon
Federico of VWR.
