Bassist and founding member Mikael Medin had the following to say regarding the band’s upcoming tour dates: “After our headlining tour of the UK in January we decided that we wanted to get back to the UK as soon as possible. There were so many awesome people who came out to see us - both new and old fans - as well as friends and drinking buddies! We are now confirmed to come back to the UK, this time with Deathstars on the Electric Night Tour. It should be a great tour, especially since we will have already played with the Deathstars on the Scandinavian dates of their co-headlining tour with Sonic Syndicate. We will be premiering new material from our next album in the UK also, so be sure to come out and have a good time with us! In the meantime, we have uploaded a tour video from the UK and Netherlands to hold everyone over for now while we prepare for the upcoming gigs and continue working hard putting the finishing touches on the songs for our next album. See you in the moshpit!”
