ICARUS WITCH have checked in with the following update:
"Thursday, September 17, Icarus Witch will be performing our only hometown concert of the year, and it's an all ages one to boot! We are playing a one-off night on the North American Nightmare Tour featuring our Canadian brethren, CAULDRON, An amazing new traditional metal band from Sweden called ENFORCER and Pittsburgh's own classic thrash masters, MANTIC RITUAL! Unfortunately, we had to turn down a few other dates on that tour due to recording and scheduling conflicts, but something tells me the Wicked Dreams version of this show at Club DV8 is going to be one of the best ever.This phenomenal concert is bittersweet in that will also mark the last show with our guitarist Quinn Lukas. When Quinn joined the band in 2006, he put his Mortuary Science schooling on hold. Since that time, we've played with HEAVEN & HELL, CANDLEMASS, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, KAMELOT, DORO and many more. Toured with TROUBLE, trekked around the North East, the South, the Midwest. Played Germany with METAL CHURCH and partied in Los Angeles with, well...everyone else! He provided half the guitar for the Songs For The Lost album (with the other 1/2 laid down by former WITCH shredder, Steve Pollick). Now, Quinn's going back to school to become a funeral director and Icarus Witch will enter the next chapter in our twisted tale as we prepare to release our fourthth CD in time for a full U.S. tour this winter.
So, mark September 17 on your calendars now (NO EXCUSES) and get to Club DV8 early, as the Witch will hit the stage at 7PM for this rare evening of top shelf, international all-ages old school metal!"
