Says the band: “On October 14th we will release our brand new album, Confessions, to the world and we can not think of a better way of doing this than celebrating with you guys, our fans non-stop! With that said, we are excited to officially release that will be hitting the road with Amaranthe across Europe in late October / November.

“As most of you already know Amaranthe has a similar relationship with their fans, and we know together this going to be one of the most heartfelt and intimate tours ever. Musically we compliment each other to the point that the whole night will be an adventure for the crowd. Opening band, Smash Into Pieces also brings their own style. This isn't only going to be memorable, people will say this is how all tours should be.”
