Wind Rose says:
“The Dwarven Army of Durin VIII is bringing axes and hammers all the way across Europe, together with the brothers and warriors from Ensiferum and Ex Deo. Vikings, Roman Legions and Dwarves are joining forces to bring you the most glorious battle of 2018.”
Sami from Ensiferum says:
“Hi folks! As you might have heard before, touring as its best is like a vacation with your friends and on which you get to do what you love the most: play metal for crazy crowds. We have been lucky to always have had great bands to tour with, but sometimes everything just clicks and you know that you are about to enter the ride of a lifetime! We are really proud to have our friends from Wind Rose join us on the upcoming tour with the marvelous gentlemen of Ex Deo. This tour will kick ass BIG time!”
