"After another busy, busy, year, we have set ourselves up for an even busier one... and to be honest, I wouldn\\\'t have it any other way. I have just recently finished Ghost (record 4, the mellow one) and am currently up to my balls in Deconstruction (record 3, the heavy one... for which we are using the Prague Symphony Orchestra to make more ridiculous than it really needs to be :) and I\\\'ve yet to get my goddamn garage cleaned, so yeah... things are busy. I love it. So I\\\'d like to announce a European tour... it will be the first tour of many we are doing in 2011 and it starts March 3rd in the UK. It hits a bunch of spots in Europe, including some places I\\\'ve never played but have always wanted to. I\\\'m really, really, excited to play again, and we will bring new music as well as some special acoustic performances. The people who support it have been so gracious that it\\\'s a real pleasure to announce this. See you next year guys! I\\\'ll bring my gnarliest teeth and lumpiest head!
The band is set to perform a mixture of tracks from all four DTP albums and the Dutch and Finns will get a real treat as long time friend and main guest vocalist on 2009's "Addicted" record, Anneke van Giersbergen (Ex-The Gathering, Agua de Annique) will be joining the band on the last four dates of the tour to share vocal duties with Devin.
