So...album being mixed in Oct - release around X-mas perhaps? Or is that too optimistic?

Assuming that the label wants to promote the new album for 3-4 months: yes.
I do hope for a single or EP in November, possibly December.

And the announcement of an European headlining tour..
 
Just found out about the new album in the works and I'm super excited! I saw you guys in Toronto with Dragonforce and Turisas was definately the best part of that show. I was blown away. Also I'm real jealous of whoever won the bow, because I just bought a violin yesterday!
 
Nobody won the bow yet. But little does that matter . . . . . next time Olli sets foot in America, I will tackle him rugby style and take his bow away. See? You don't need to win contests and stuff like that.
