This will be a special evening focussing on music from the new Icarus Witch album and featuring a one-night only guest appearance from vocalist Jason Russo who helped us kick off our tour with Y&T in 2010.
As many of you have heard by now, Paul DiAnno has cancelled (or indefinitely postponed) his scheduled North American tour for this summer.
We are disappointed as we were really looking forward to playing with DiAnno once more but also because we were eager to tour with our good friends in Cauldron and Widow. Hopefully we will still be able to make that part of it happen in some capacity.
For now we are focussing on finishing the new Icarus Witch album which we intend to both release and tour in support of this July. Stay tuned and we will see you soon!
Vocalist Paul DiAnno to Tour with Cauldron, Icarus Witch

The Beast Is Back!
The Beast is Back...and this time he is bringing even more metallic firepower! Original Iron Maiden vocalist Paul DiAnno will be returning to North America this summer for his most extensive tour ever. Once again DiAnno’s backing and support band will be Cleopatra recording artist Icarus Witch. This run of dates, however, will also include Earache buzz band Cauldron and Pure Steel traditional metal maniacs, Widow!
Charging onto the scene in 1980 as the incendiary front man for [arguably] the biggest heavy metal band in history, DiAnno lead the New Wave of British Heavy Metal singing on both the self-titled Iron Maiden album and its follow up, Killers. After releasing the live Maiden Japan EP, the London icon left to form Di’Anno, Battlezone and Killers among other projects.
Over three decades later the Beast is still as vicious as ever on stage playing to rabid metal heads throughout the world. His influence is undeniable on the younger bands he is bringing on the road this year, all three of which were forecast as leaders of the “New Wave of Trad Metal” by the prestigious Metal Hammer U.K. magazine just three years ago.
This exciting true metal package bridges the gap between fans who were around for the initial Iron Maiden craze and the new generation of headbangers discovering the power of classic metal in its purest form. The tour is being booked by Intromental Worldwide and will run through the U.S. and Canada from July 25 to Sept. 2, 2012. The preliminary dates of the tour as as follows, but expect an updated and longer itinerary to come in the next couple of weeks.
July 25 - Baltimore, MD July 26 - New York, NY July 27 - Foxboro, MA July 29 - Albany, NY Aug. 01 - Ottawa, CANADA Aug. 02 - Toronto, CANADA Aug. 03 - Detroit, MI Aug. 04 - Chicago, IL Aug. 09 - Vancouver, CANADA Aug. 10 - Seattle, WA Aug. 15 - Santa Ana, CA Aug. 24 - Austin, TX Aug. 28 - Tampa, FL Aug. 29 - Orlando, FL Aug. 31 - Raleigh, NC Sept. 01 - Pittsburgh, PA Sept. 02 - Akron, OH
Dave just put the tempo map down for the final track on the new album. Then as we were listening back, the lamp in the corner began shaking violently on its own. We'll take that as a good omen.
