 Legendary Australian heavy metal band MORTAL SIN have sent in the following update to HailMetal.Com e'zine regarding their tour of Europe with OVERKILL:
"The month of March will be remembered by MORTAL SIN as the most successful venture away from their home territory ever when they supported U.S. thrash legends OVERKILL through 15 shows in Europe. Beginning with two Metalmania Festivals headlined by MEGADETH in The Czech Republic and Poland, the tour then rolled into the former capital Munich. With many of the shows being sold out, Overkill vocalist Bobby Elsworth paid tribute to Mortal Sin as "a perfect match up for Overkill, a great package for promoters...- we tried for months to get Exodus as the support, but you know what? Fuck Exodus, Mortal Sin have done way better than we would have hoped Exodus would do!" Overkill made Mortal Sin more than welcome and fun times were had in each of the cities we played."
"By the time the tour reached Essen (home town of Kreator), the crowds were getting louder and louder for Mortal Sin. It was like a time machine had transported us all back to 1987 - wristbands, denim jackets, hair flying everywhere and bodies landing on the stage non stop throughout the Mortal Sin and Overkill sets. In Gothenburg, Sweden on the last show of the Overkill tour Mortal Sin were invited up on stage to sing "Old School" with Bobby and the gang, such was the respect shown - the offer was accepted and the respect returned!'
"From Sweden Mortal Sin travelled North to Oslo in Norway for the 2008 Inferno Festival, one of the most important Scandinavian metal festivals, this year featuring Onslaught, Behemoth, Vreid, Gorgoroth, Satyricon, Unleashed, 1349, Overkill and Destruction among others. At minus 4 degrees, it was the coldest night of the tour and the streets were covered in Ice. Mortal Sin opened the main stage in the Rockefeller Centre and won over the predominantly Black Metal crowd with a blistering set which was recorded on CD and will be soon be released as an official Live Bootleg. It was a brilliant end to a brilliant tour."
The wash-up? Mortal Sin will travel back to Europe in July and August to play the festival circuit, already confirmed for Headbangers Open Air Festival and JaloMetalli Festival and more to be announced soon. Mortal Sin has also been put forward for possible tours with Overkill (In America), Testament (Europe), Metal Church (Europe), and Holy Moses (America).

Thanks: Mortal Sin
