"Dear Fans in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Australia!

Thirteen flights, three bullet trains, hours and hours of travel but worth every second! These shows and first experiences were amazing and we have to thank all the promoters, interpreters (George/Japan, Pain/Seoul, Juicy/Taiwan), tour managers (Juicy, Ian), venue personnel, Alissa White-Gluz (THE AGONIST)for kicking ass every night with us (welcome to the tour! ) and of course the Kmelot fans, loud and proud!!

Rest assured we will be back in all these countries and more very soon. Next up, North America starting with Puerto Rico!"
