Hellish Rock's second show in the Czech Republic took place in the chilly city of Zlín. Despite the sunshine, the wind chill made it feel absurdly cold. The biting winds made the situation even worse, and our intention to explore the city was quickly abandoned within the first 15 minutes of walking.
Confined within the Zimní stadium, part of the Hala Euronics complex, we chatted with the musicians and the crew accompanying us on this long tour. This interaction with the staff is extremely important; after all, despite being three bands touring together, we form a single team. We've spent two months living with the same people, sharing the same work routine, and this unity is key to success.
Incidentally, the show was, once again, on the ice. However, the atmosphere was much more intimate. With the stands very close to the rink, it was possible to imagine the cauldron that place must become during one of those fervent classics. With that, our thoughts turned completely to our performance.
Completely focused, we took to the stage with our usual devastating spirit. Right from the start, we showed that we had bad intentions, and the audience understood the message immediately. With the crowd won over during the performance of "I'm Your Mind," we made sure to make our second show in the Czech Republic something magical.
Next destination: Brezno, Slovakia.
