the shows. They are very special persons, and they helped us very much, it was a great pleasure to work with them and learn from them. I can say that that tour was something epic. We met lots of new fans around Europe, and we met again old fans waiting for us. It was a great feeling! We had also a positive feedback about the songs of TB, in fact this time our track list was based on our last album. A great tour under lots of aspects…even if in the beginning, at the very first gig, in Charleroi, all our instruments and stage stuff were lost somewhere in Belgium by the shipping company!!! :-) • During this tour, we felt that you made a really great friendship with the guys of Freedom Call, with whom you worked in a little tour early this year; talk us a little bit about this. Michele: Yes, as I told with Freedom Call there was a great feeling from the beginning of the Rhapsody Tour, we are always in touch also in our “real” life!! during that tour we worked as a true team, everyone knew is part to do, and everyone worked for the best. In personal case, for example, I shared and mixed with Criss the equipment, to improve the stage situation. So because of this collaboration Freedom Call ask to us if we were interested in come back on tour together for other gigs. Of course we said yes!It was exciting and very hard at the same time, it was a tour “old style”, with a motor caravan to drive and thousands miles to cover. Anyway a great experience 12 through German, Italy and France. It was great to find lots of people waiting for us in Paris and Freedom Call were the best company with which share a time like that. • Are you working already in a new album? Can you give us a little introduction about it, if is the case? Michele: Of course yes!!! And we are recording it in this very moment!!! It will be a “special” album, a new kind of album for Vexillum. In fact it will be a concept album, I and Dario wrote a story that will go on through all the songs. So this time there is not a setting the leitmotiv but a real plot. We are still deciding with our label how reveal all the features of this album! It’s a new challenge for us, and I’m very excited to hear the final result....we can’t say so much for now but for sure this album will be ready in the early 2014 and it will bring a lot of surprises!!! • Have you plans to play in some festival in 2014 or a new tour? Michele: Yes, we are already planning our 2014, to come back on tour and also to play in some festival. We hope to confirm some gigs very soon! • To finish, would you want to say some words to all your fans and the Rock&Metal World readers? Michele: I thank all your readers, for their support to good music!!! Love and do what you want!
