I've known the guys for many years and we've toured on various occasions in Europe & Japan, whether it's been with Firewind or Dream Evil. Last March we played a one-off show in London together and the feeling was fantastic, we even got to jam on stage! I'm happy we'll be touring together again. Can't wait to see you all out there.
