The NACHTMAHR live awards 2013

Dear comrades,

The last note of the last show of this year has sounded and we'll all be taking time off to recharge our batteries from what has been a very intense year for everybody involved.

We have been tried and tested, but everything that has been thrown at us made us and the bonds between us even stronger. The screams of our fans outsounded the ignorant voices of our haters thousandfold and the positive emotions every single one of you gave us during our shows and other encounters made up for all the negativity we were confronted with.

That's why we want to thank all of you for your amazing and ongoing support, as we could not do all that without you. What would the best commander be without his army? NOTHING!

We also want to give a shout out to special people and places that made this year special in our annual awards
