The biggest fans from Croatia even passed 600 km to see Hard Time's show in Piacenza to hear the songs in English.

Two of the guests for the evening are going to be Miha and Pishta from Hard Time and they will perform one song ("Black Night") with the veterans of Croatian rock scene. Since Hard Time opened Deep Purple's concert in Zagreb a few years back this is going to be a nice opportunity to remember the old masters which will be playing in Split just a week later.

Hard Time has just finished the shooting of the new video clip for the song "Zombie". This is the first video appearance of new band members – Miha, davor and Michael. Plavi film Production Company has taken care of making it, and interesting thing is that Mlinka who was until recently Hard Time drummer was directing the video in cooperation with Davor Flam. Part of the video was shoot in the desert location nearby Las Vegas, and the second part in quarries near Zagreb. The TV premiere of the "Zombie" video will be on the Croatian national television this Monday 13.08. with frontman of the Hard Time Pishta being the guest in the studio.

Unfortunately Saxon, the legendary British metal band, canceled their Zagreb show on 22nd of September in Boogaloo club, so the hard time will not be supporting them. Management announcement said that Biff Byford's (singer of Saxon) wife is heading for a difficult surgery and that's the reason they canceled this tour. Hard time wishes her all the best and the promise of promoters is that the Hard Time will be playing with Saxon on the first possible date.

With lots of problems and troubles Hard Time managed to play four songs on Drava Rock fest. Because of organization problems all the domestic bands were forced to cut their sets. Hard Time apologizes to all their fans, but these 13 minutes of heavy songs was enough to the band to show how good the new line-up sounds.

The big three day festival „Rokaj fest“ who was held at the Jarun lake in Zagreb, was interrupted by the rain on the second day just as the Hard Time was preparing to enter the main stage. Summer storm „chased“ all the acts to move to smaller indoor stage, so the Hard Time, TBF and Majke continued their shows after a short recess. Hard Time played a hell of a show and got great reviews and the great response from the crowd just confirmed the great show and fun.
