Australian metallers PEGAZUS have announced that due to the fact that both drummer Ange Sotiro and bassist Cory Betts will not be available for the In Metal We Trust tour because of serious working-related issues, the band has enlisted co-founder of Pegazus and former drummer Robbie Stoj and former Pegazus vocalist Rob Thompson to take their places in Melbourne and Europe.

Stoj commented: "Looking forward to getting back to Europe, seeing old and new friends and fans. Great to be back touring, especially with Pegazus. This line up has got a lot to be seen to be believed. These will be really great shows. "

Thompson also commented: "When I was asked if I was interested to do these shows with Pegazus as their bass player, it was a no-brainer for me. I have always loved the band and it makes no difference to me if I'm the lead singer or the bass player. Being on stage with those four guys is all that matters and it's a unique opportunity which I never thought would happen. The rehearsals so far have shown already that this line-up is gonna kick some ass and you'd better not miss this! "

The new dates include:
