Hi Brainiacs,

only a few hours before we are heading to the USA to kick off our Memorial Roots World Tour 2009/2010. To start with the Prog Power USA Show on September 12th is nothing short but amazing, plus Andy will take part in the “Tribute to Midnight” on Friday. From Atlanta we will fly to Mexico and the famous Monterrey Metal Fest to play there September 15th and 16th. This will be the first time for Brainstorm to visit Mexico and we are very looking forward to it!

Directly after returning to Europe we will hit the road for a short trip to the UK and Belgium before the European Tour kicks off October 23rd. Be there!

“Memorial Roots” is done and ready to be delivered and the album turned out fantastic. Everybody in the band feels that this is our best album to date and we are sure that you will agree as soon as you listen to the new tunes. This marks the beginning of the next chapter and it feels so f#*#ing good!

Rock hard, ride free and God bless you all!

-BRAINSTORM-

We did it! With AFM Records we now got the partner we wanted for the next step in our career. We are very happy to be part of the AFM family and expect nothing but a very successful cooperation.
We’re already working on the first thing: we’ve been in the Gate Studios since a few weeks, working on our new album “Roots” (work title) with Miro and Sascha. The album will make your skull smoke in October and end the worldwide recession with a bang! Before and after we already have a lot of shows planned, like the co-tour with Primal Fear we are very excited about. We finally managed to unite the Swabian power and spread our dialect into the world…
Many new news, the first tracklistings for the new album, some specials and details you will learn HERE! And nowhere else!
Brainstorm are storming in 2009… heavier than ever!

See you soon,
Andy
