Robert Westerholt says: “We understand that the rescheduled tour dates are a blow for the many fans who have bought tickets early and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. We hope they feel a little compensated by the release of our new, special priced 4-song EP, which gives them full insight into the kind of album we are working on. To make up for the rescheduled dates, we’re now pressured to work even harder to deliver our best and most impressive live production ever on the upcoming tour, however the completion of a great new album is a prerequisite for that! And therefore the only option was to reschedule the dates for Western Europe.”
