LEAVES' EYES To Play Headlining Shows In U.S. Following KAMELOT Tour Cancelation

September 11, 2010

LEAVES' EYES — the German/Norwegian band formed by ex-THEATRE OF TRAGEDY singer Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull and members of ATROCITY — has issued the following update:

"We were scheduled to play on the upcoming North America tour with KAMELOT.

"We are really sad about everything that happened leading up to KAMELOT having to cancel their tour, and we wish Roy [Khan, KALEMOT singer who was taken ill] all the best.

"Yesterday we played the ProgPower USA festival in Atlanta for a awesome audience!

"Thanks to the fans and the organization for a great experience! We came a long way and we are here to play for the American fans.

"At this moment, the promoters are doing everything possible to keep this tour going on in North America for LEAVES' EYES, and some shows have been confirmed.

"If you already have a ticket for a KAMELOT / LEAVES' EYES / BLACKGUARD show, you can refund where you purchased it and you can get a new discounted ticket for the LEAVES' EYES / BLACKGUARD show!

"We hope to announce more news on this soon."

LEAVES' EYES / BLACKGUARD dates:

Sep. 11 - Springfield, VA @ Jaxx
Sep. 12 - Raleigh, NC @ Volume 11
Sep. 13 - Newport News, VA @ Budda's Place

"Take The Devil In Me", the new video from LEAVES' EYES, can be viewed below. The song comes off the group's latest album, "Njord", which was re-released in May as a "special fan edition," containing three previously unreleased tracks — "At Heaven's End", "Angus and the Swan" and an acoustic version of "Irish Rain". The set also features an appearance by Liv's sister, Carmen Elise Espenaes from MIDNATTSOL, as a guest vocalist on "Irish Rain". The special fan edition comes with a noble matt and glossy foil printed slipcase, which is strictly limited.

The "special fan edition" of "Njord" consists of the "Njord" digipack, including two bonus tracks, as well as the brand new bonus CD "At Heaven's End", which contains seven non-album tracks, and the "My Destiny" video.
