Century Media pressrelease:
Canadian extreme progressive metal icons Into Eternity wrapped up their North American tour with Iced Earth in Los Angeles on Friday, October 24. It was the band's first-ever tour without founding guitarist Tim Roth, who could not participate for several reasons - the biggest being that he is about to become a father.
Into Eternity has now announced that Roth will rejoin the band for four shows in western Canada this week, including a Winnipeg concert alongside Dismember and a headlining appearance on Halloween night at the Zombiefest in Lethbridge, Alberta. Meanwhile, fill-in touring guitarist Sean Maier will now rejoin his primary band Blessed By A Broken Heart, whose seven-week European tour kicks off on October 30.
Commented drummer Steve Bolognese, "Iced Earth was a very memorable tour, and it was great to tour with such cool bands and really good guys. There were so many good shows - one of our best being an off-date in Mexico with Deicide. It was a real treat to meet and hang with those guys.
"I am happy to say that we got through the tour even without Tim. I wasn't sure how it was going to go, but we did it -and now, he's back! I want to again say thanks to Sean Maier for filling in at the last minute so we could make this tour happen, and as always, I want to thank the fans for coming out and supporting us through this time without Tim. We couldn't have done it without you."
Into Eternity tour dates:
Oct. 30 Walkers - Saskatoon, SK
Oct. 31 Zombiefest - Lethbridge, AB
Nov. 01 The Exchange - Regina, SK
Nov. 02 Royal Albert - Winnipeg, MB
