Vocalist John Kevill checked in to comment on the tour as follows: “We are pleased to announce that we are touring in Europe early 2014 with our friends in Iced Earth and Elm Street. We have toured with Iced Earth before in the USA, and had a great time so it'll be excellent to bring this show to Europe! Looking forward to playing some new and old songs live, and visiting some places we've never been before! See you all out on the road!”
