Freewheeling frontman/keytar-player Chris Bowes had the following to say:
“Ahoy there, you bunch of filthy North American pirates! This fall, ALESTORM is gonna be coming back to your shores for a huge-ass party and maybe a few shows, if we manage to stay sober long enough. Last time ’round during the Paganfest USA tour, we had a hell of a lot of fun, and this one is gonna be even better! Prepare to have your presidential elections ruined, and our sweaty scurvy-infested testicles smeared all over your Thanksgiving dinners! See you soon!”
