Orion: 'Domination Tour 2006 has started! We're really glad to have this opportunity to be the part of this tour. It's an honor and distinction for us as a band. We've been put on this trip with great and meritorious bands. We treat it as a challenge and big responsibility. We've just done first eleven shows and I have to admit that day by day we're getting better and better. Live at Proxima club in Warsaw was our first gig after two years. Since this day, we're just moving forward, catching the drive, getting stage experience really quick. Straight from Poland we drove to Germany (Berlin, Hannover), then to Holland (Groningen, Katwijk, Weert), through France (Tourcoing n/Lille), to Great Britain and Ireland (Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow, London). During some of the shows, when the conditions are good enough to do it, we're using our new stage design, prepared especially for this tour. I've already seen few video recordings from the shows, and, I'm telling you, it looks impressive! We're getting really good response from the people in Europe. Thank you all, who take under consideration that we're playing quite early (there are six bands on this tour and we're playing as the 2nd one). Especially the last part of the tour - Great Britain and Ireland has been a blast and success for us. Lots of fans, friends, thanks to you all! The atmosphere on tour favours having fun, special greeting in this part goes to the crew and the band Aborted! Next part of news and impressions coming soon!

Orion: "21 shows completed and as each day passes we're getting stronger and more experienced. The tour is progressing as planned and in accordance with the time schedule with one exception which will be mentioned later. From London we drove to Belgium (Antwerp) and became part of a big festival with an audience of approximately 1000 people. We shared the stage of the Hof Ter Lo venue with many great bands and French act Gojira headlined the first part of the festival. It was a challenge to perform straight after them but fortunately we play a totally different style of music and therefore came out on top of things I guess. From Antwerp we advanced to France and the show in Paris was a particularly special event for us. The crowd went absolutely crazy and huge thanks must go to all of you who were there - you guys rule! From here we went straight to Irun in Spain instead of to the planned show in Toulouse because unfortunately the local promoter had not fulfilled his part of the deal. It was a kind of "last minute show" and our crew and bands were suffering from the flu - still, we did it. It was then on to Madrid, Barcelona and a crazy drive to Zurich in Switzerland. Right after this it was back to Essen in Germany and I doubt anyone will forget the after party in this venue - I'd rather keep the details as a secret but believe me, it was good. Another show followed in Germany's enigmatic "Hagalaz" venue, then it was on to Prague in the Czech Repulic and then to Munich. Everything's been smooth, gradually getting better and better. It's been a rather solid warm up so far I suppose, with 9 shows of this tour still ahead of us.

Orion: "We're approaching the end of the tour, with the final part turning out to be more difficult than originally anticipated. Our first show in Italy proved to be our last Italian show for the tour. Of course we have nothing against the beautiful city of Milan but... after a great show at Transylvania Live we exited the venue to find our bus on fire and several fire brigades fighting the flames! It was a surprising view but certainly not a funny one. The bus wasn't completely burnt (only the rear section) but we were unable to continue driving and for this reason had to miss our show in Rome. I know there were so many fans of Vesania in Rome but honestly, this was beyond our control. As well as us, Grave and Hurtlocker missed out on this show too. We finally met up with the rest of the bands in Geneva (Switzerland) which proved to be one of the best turnouts of the tour and made us feel better after the previous incident. Another three German shows followed (Trier, Osnabruck, Hanau). Unfortunately, the damage sustained by the tour bus was difficult to fix and so for the next few days we had to deal with no heating on board. It's certainly not the best thing for a man's health but it can always be much worse than this. From here there were two concerts in Holland (Aarnhem and Rotterdam) and then a final show in Hamburg. Thus, the tour was done! It was a huge deal for us and without doubt the biggest event that we've ever participated in. We did very well as a band, finally crossing the western Polish border and we hope to return to Europe as often as possible. Once again, thank you to all the bands, organisers and awesome audiences. This is just the beginning - await our future steps!"
