Glenn Harveston - manager and founder of ProgPower USA - helped to bring SERENITY to new shores. Also with the help of fan submissions the band was able to not only reach out to a new audience, but turned Center Stage into a melting pot.
A venue full of high expectations, questions about the performance, the setlist,... But it seems SERENITY caught everybody attending PP USA 2012 by storm.
Reactions during and after the gig have been phenomenal. Standing ovations, neverending applause and fascination among the crowd as one of a few bands, including Nightwish or Symphony X, puts smiles upon each bandmembers face.
But that wasn't all...
People from all over the US got in touch with Georg (lead vocals), Clementine (guest singer), Thomas (guitars), Mario (keys, vox), Fabio (bass, vox) and Andi (drums, vox) during their attendance of other bands performances. Taking pictures, receiving signatures and so on.
This was topped by a huge line during the 30min (actually planned) signing session which took the band more than an hour to work off. Without even taking lots of photos!!!
Still, there's more...
Days after SERENITY's slot at the festival the internet, especially facebook is going crazy. All topped by an online poll for "best band of PP 2012" on the offical ProgPower forums. Of course this can change - but today/right now SERENITY is leading in front of bands such as EPICA, SYMPHONY X, AMARANTHE, PRETTY MAIDS,... See for yourself:

THE WHOLE BAND IS OVERWHELMED BY THE REACTIONS AND PAYS KUDOS TO THE AMERICAN FANS OUT THERE, WHO MADE THIS ONE OF THE BEST SERENITY EXPERIENCES SO FAR!
