During the first days of December, less than two months before the tour kick off, they both informed us that due to personal reasons they could have not taken part in the next shows. As you can clearly imagine, it was not easy for us to re-organise and plan everything, especially as we were fully focused on the recordings of the new album (Alfonso already recorded the drums for our upcoming album). Thanks to some friends, to whom we'll properly say "thanks" soon, we still managed to handle everything, and we're looking forward to jump on the road in Europe soon!". Facebook. Temperance.
