...Having come to the end of their North American tour, INTO ETERNITY
will hit the road with OPETH and NEVERMORE
for two weeks. Says thye band’s drummer Adam Sagan: "The tour is
winding down, and we have had a freakin' blast. We've seen old friends,
and have made plenty of new ones. It's also been killer seeing a lot of
you returning to see us. The
STRATOVARIUS guys are great, but since
the bands had really different touring schedules (we drove our van and
they had a bus) we didn't have a lot of opportunities to get to know
them... until we closed down Seattle's Studio Seven drinking together.
Just when we thought we would be going home and ending the year on a
high note with Stratovarius, we were given the honor of playing two
weeks with Opeth and Nevermore: truly a dream come true. Personally I
could tour with either band and die happy, but touring with both
together come on..."
