“Heavy metal, it’s a big family, not only the GRAVE Fans, but all the metal community, “I have continued.” It’s a Big Family. And it’s great to see that a Lot of People That Never Seen GRAVE Before are coming to see GRAVE For the first time, which is great. And not only Young People – People That Are Following GRAVE For So Many Years, They’ve Never Seen GRAVE Live, and Now that we say this is the last [tour we will do]they are leaving their houses to eat to see us.
