According to a press release, the band have “never been more thrilled, bursting with commitment and purpose, as they are regarding this upcoming tour."
“They have no interest in resting on past accolades, awards or commercial success, this is a mission, they intend to channel the most mighty spirits, and give everything they’ve got.”
