 Edguy are gearing up to kick off their North American tour when they play three headline shows starting on October 10th in Detroit, before linking up with Kamelot to provide main support on the Florida progressive metallers headline trek.
Edguy mainman Tobbias Sammat said “Why should Hollywood fear us walking its unholy streets? You gotta ask
Hollywood itself and it will tell you! Or better: What's left of
Hollywood after we've played...
For the Edguy tour with Kamelot, we'll mainly focus on older
material as the new album (Tinnitus Sanctus) is not gonna be released
at that point. People wanna come out, have fun, and sing along, so
we'll focus on our classic material. Did we choose the set list via
democracy or dictatorship? It's kind of both plus the principle of
contingency: Every band member writes down his own list of songs he
wants to play, we put ‘em into a voting box, and then I draw until I
got the list I've written. Seriously, it's no big deal. Sometimes we
sit backstage an hour before the show and throw song titles back and
forth to keep it exciting to ourselves. We don't wanna impress people
with complicated or extremely fast stuff… that's childish. We just
wanna make ‘em have a good time, so the songs should have maximum
impact.
There are no on-stage collaborations with Kamelot planned so far. I
think both bands do extraordinarily well without the other. Can you
imagine having a maladjusted peacock like me going on with Kamelot,
telling jokes and doing the splits while Roy tries to enchant the
audience? Ladies and gentlemen, Kamelot vs. Edguy is the new Clash of
the Titans: Symphony versus Giant Crotches - ha, ha.
Clothes are must-haves on my shopping list! I love weird clothes.
Hippie shit, stuff that you don't find at your local H&M. There are
some stores in Hollywood where I'll enter the door being sure that I'll
just look around and walk out having spent twice the advance payment of
our next record. And by the way, we are very brave with our new
material. It’s a very serious kick-ass statement and is certainly gonna
be one of our most important steps into the future. ”
Edguy have also revealed that they will be premiering their new video to
the track 'Ministry Of Saints' taken from the bands forthcoming album
Tinitus Sanctus in a "couple of days".
The video which was shot in Belgrade is currently "being cut and finished".
Tinnitus Sanctus is set to be released via Nuclear Blast Records on November 14th.
The album is set to shape up as follows:
Ministry Of Saints
Sex Fire Religion
The Pride Of Creation
Nine Lives
Wake Up Dreaming Black
Dragonfly

ead Or Rock
Aren't You A Little Pervert Too
