Commented the group: "We're totally stoked about our upcoming Japanese tour. First time for us touring this beautiful country, a dream come true definitely, what a great way to keep promoting our latest album and share our art with people who understand and respect this kind of music so much. And last but not least, we still can't believe we're supporting Krisiun and Gorguts, can't get better than this right?"

Commented singer Eduardo Chacon: "Words can't describe how excited and happy I am right now. If there's a country I always wanted to visit, Japan is the answer for sure, but wait a minute, touring the Land of the Rising Sun with my band? Now this is really a dream come true. Life's good and it's time to spread some melodic metal over Japan with a "Pura Vida" twist."

Added bassist Esteban Monestel: "It's very important for any musician and especially for us in the metal community, to take our music as far as possible, and now that we have the opportunity to tour such an exotic country like Japan, feels good and confirms that you are doing something right, plus, have the chance to support two metal behemoths like Krisiun and Gorguts. I'm sure this is just the beginning of better and bigger things to come for the band."

Stated drummer Rodrigo Chaverri: "Japan is probably one of the most exotic and intriguing destinations you can aspire to visit in your lifetime, so to say that every new metal band wants to tour Japan is an understatement."
