Saturday 10. July and Sunday 11. July we will be playing shows with our German friends Lunarsphere. A great Death Metal / Metal band that kicked ass when we joined them on a few amazing shows on our tour in Germany. Be sure to check us out in Muziekcafe Smiley's, Brunssum or Plein 79, Den Bosch.

We started songwriting again. Ralf has already written some really cool stuff that the band is working on now, new songs will definitely achieve a new level for Persistense. We can't wait to present them to you, although you will have to wait for them for a big while from now.

Most of us will head to Graspop 2010 next week, that's the festival we all visit each year. Great atmosphere, great bands, great people. Too bad we aren't playing there i'd say.. Hopefully there's a place for us at that festival next year :) For now to all of you who head there too, have fun! Hope to see you there or at the shows in Brunssum or Den Bosch!

Back home from the Germany Mini Tour we realized this is what makes us strong and what we really want to do. Special thanks to Archaic Averno and Remy for being great support. Also a big thanks for the venues, crews and organizers that made it all happen.

Bram made a compilation video of what happened during the tour. You can check it at our brand new Youtube channel.

Coming up are the gigs with legendary thrash metal / punk band Détente. Guitarist Ross Robinson, drummer Dennis Butler, bassplayer Steve Hochheiser and singer Dawn Crosby (r.i.p.) started the band in 1984. Their first album, "Recognize No Authority" was released in '86 and still has a cult status among thrash metal / punk fans. In 2007 3 original bandmembers reignited the album by releasing a reissue. Together with vocalist Ann Boleyn (Hellion) they played a lot of gigs ao The Headbangers Open Air festival. Now, the band has found a permanent singer in Tiina Teal, and they will release their new album "Decline" any moment now. We are very proud and thankful to have the privilige of supporting Détente at their kick-off shows! Come and check us out in Den Haag, Tilburg, Eindhoven or Antwerpen. Check the dates section for more info.

Hey guys, sunday the 31th of January an in depth interview between Ralf and host Bob Howard (aka the Godfather of Metal) took place. We were very honored to be invited to the show and really thank Bob for doing so. The interview went very well and although it wasn't an easy task for Ralf to fluently translate his thoughts at 6.30 am on a sunday morning, he did a great job. Check it out here .

Besides that, there's lots of other news to tell.. The last dates for the Germany Mini tour with Archaic Averno are being arranged. We will join the legendary Dètente (USA / Thrash) with their new singer Tiina Teal in The Little Devil, Tilburg. Two more videos which were recorded and video-edited by Metalchapter Radio can be found on youtube & myspace (Really great work guys!) And last but not least the Bastille Metalfest is coming up! We are very exited to be there and expect it to be one hell of a day \m/ Check out the Bastille Metalfest 2010 Hyves (Dutch) for info. 27th February is the date to write down. 

You can also check out some new reviews in the meanwhile, visit our myspace and check out the list here .

Hope to see you soon at a show!!

A few months after our CD-release took place, we have received a lot of reviews and the good news is, mostly positive! It is a big honor to receive so many great comments from well-respected web- and magazines. Visit our myspace to read em all.

Special attention goes out to Sander Toninio at 3voor12. He gave us a chance to tell our story about how this band came where we are now by interviewing Stefan and Jacques. Also, he did a live review of our CD release party in Plein 79, which was the greatest party ever. Both the interview and the live review can be found on 3voor12.vpro.nl.

Next week, 4th of December, we will be doing a gig with One Bullet Left and Seven Ends in The Rambler (Eindhoven). A very neat venue with really cool bands. Be sure to check us out if you're near. Visit the Rambler's website here.

Furthermore we are already focussing on 2010. We already have a date set at De Bastille, Schoonhoven. 27th of February there will be a new edition of the Bastille Metalfest which features great bands each year. This year the floor will be shaken by ao Symphony of Destruction, Scenario II, Face the Fact and our label buddies Devious.

The next months we will be working on a video clip! Alex at Extreemmetaal.nl, who has helped us out many times in the past, offered his services again and as he previously proved by creating this promoclip, he is a great video-editor. We hope to shoot it next month, but you'll be hearing about it when it's finished.

That's all for now, Keep your horns up! \m/
