The drummer in the band, Marcus Svedin, was even selected as the best drummer, and he won a complete Mapex drumkit!
After the award ceremony the band was led to the biggest stage of the Taubertal Open Air Festival where they performed once more - this time in front of about 8000 people! The first price will either be a production of a record or a European tour (as chosen by the band itself).
Emergenza Festival is the world's biggest music competition for upcoming bands. In the past season (autumn 2008/spring 2009) over 600 bands participated in the Nordic area and several thousands all over the world.
