Dream Evil are very proud about the success so far and guitar-wizard Gus G. left a message for their true supporters out there:
"Alright, here we are with our 3rd album and our most powerful effort in our career! I hope everyone is enjoying THE BOOK OF HEAVY METAL... and on behalf of the band I would like to thank all our loyal fans for your love and support, your letters and your presents! We read all your emails and guestbook entries. It was cool to meet many of you on our last European tour with Hammerfall and can't wait to meet you again on the road and finally visit some countries that we didn't have the chance to play in! Until then... Stay METAL my friends!!!"
