As frontman and founder Niklas Kvarforth explains, the band has eschewed the idea of long tours through several countries in favour of shorter tours in individual countries: "Basically we want to be able to give our audience the best show possible each time we are on stage. And weeks on the road stuck on a cramped, uncomfortable nightliner, with people you don't even know and with no privacy in which to be able to rest and relax, is not conducive to any of us being able to give it our best on stage, particularly myself. So that's something we will definitely not be doing.
"Our booking agent is currently in the process of negotiating and finalising a series of tours in various countries, so you can expect more announcements very soon. Confirmed dates can always be found on our website at shiningasylum.com.
Cover art for IX - Everyone, Everything, Everywhere, Ends is by the Italian artist Daniele Serra, who recently won an award for the best cover art for a comic with his Pinhead painting for the "Hellraiser Bestiary". Included in the artwork are sketches by the Norwegian artist Kim Holm. Design is by the Trine and Kim Design Studio.
