PiercingMetal Thoughts: The band will be holding services at the beautiful King’s Theatre in Brooklyn at the close of this tour and at last check I was going to be there. I am excited to watch my friends and neighbors fall before their malevolent might as they weave their dark melodies and ensnare our souls (insert sinister laughter here). What do you folks think about this clip and more importantly will you be attending the happenings? Chime in below in the comments.
