"In 2008 we made a huge impact in my home country of Sri Lanka as CIVILIZATION ONE was the first international metal act to ever play in Sri Lanka, performing in front of 4000 people; we were invited back again this year, and were welcomed as returning heroes.

"CIVILIZATION ONE plans to leave the same impact on the rest of the world upon the release of 'Calling The Gods', hitting the stage wherever quality heavy metal is appreciated."
