Ax-man Scott Hedrick commented: "It's about fucking time! We've been hard at work writing the new album and can't wait to get back on the road! Expect some new songs, a few old ones that we've never played live before, and a new face:  our good friend Tony Laureano is playing drums on the tour as well as the new album.  We'll see you maniacs soon!"
