The Haunted guitarist Ola Englund has shared the latest episode of Coffee With Ola, featuring Blind Guardian guitarist, Marcus Siepen. Watch below. Says Ola, "An absolute pleasure to have him over. Sorry for the dropout of audio nearing the end of the interview. The RODE microphone decided to NOT record that last part for some reason. Has never happened before."

Blind Guardian kicked off The God Machine North American 2024 tour on April 18 at The Fillmore in Silver Springs. The tour will make its way to Dallas, Seattle, and Toronto before the final performance at Milwaukee Metal Fest on May 17. Joining the band as support is Night Demon.

Vocalist Hansi Kürsch states: "We heard your calls! We are more than just thrilled to finally announce that highly anticipated North American run of shows.  Let me tell you that the band will be on fire and that we are very grateful to have a fantastic opening band such as Night Demon on our side to bring the full Metal blast to your town. I recommend not to miss this chance, we will perform Beyond Imagination. You don’t want to see it, you have to see it! The God Machine is in sole and full magic mode."
