Tomorrow, I’ll already be boarding the plane: it’s time to announce something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time — I’ll be joining Beyond The Black on their upcoming Latin American tour!

Tour Dates:

30/04/25 – Santiago, Chile – Teatro Cariola

02/05/25 – Buenos Aires, Argentina – Sala Caras y Caretas

04/05/25 – São Paulo, Brazil – Bangers Open Air

06/05/25 – Mexico City, Mexico – Circo Volador

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to perform across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia — but South America has always been missing.

The first time I ever played outside Europe was a North American tour with Obscura, sharing the road with Septic Flesh, Devin Townsend, and Children of Bodom. That experience opened a whole new world for me — seeing different cultures, meeting people who often seemed a lot more open and warm-hearted than what I was used to growing up in Germany. Ever since, these moments have meant as much to me as the music itself.

I still clearly remember a show in Mexico City: in front of the venue, a full black market had popped up — selling Obscura underwear and fake tour shirts for tours that never even happened. Even more memorable were the fans: incredibly energetic, genuinely passionate, and always kind and open to talk to.

This tour will bring a few personal firsts. I’ve never played in Chile, Brazil, or Argentina before. Argentina is somewhat familiar to me from past family visits, and I can’t wait to be back — especially for the asado, empanadas, and the welcoming way people treat you, even if you’re a stranger.

On another note: because of this tour, I will unfortunately miss our show with Obsidious at the Prog Metal Mania Festival in Munich on May 2nd. Thankfully, an excellent bassist will fill in for me so have no worries if you have tickets for this show.

Thanks for being part of this journey. Hope to see some of you along the way!
