On December 13th, Sweden's Dream Evil will make their first US performance, when they headline the Century Family's Third Annual Christmas Balls show at The Key Club in Hollywood, CA. Tickets are on sale now. More performances will be announced in the coming weeks.
Peter Stalfors (bass) further conveys the band's excitement over their first U.S. performance: "Ever since we released our first album, DragonSlayer, we hoped to have the opportunity to perform in the US. Over the years, we received tons of mails from fans all over North America, and now at last we have the opportunity to give at least some of you a chance to see us. We are really excited about this and look forward to see you at the Key Club in Los Angeles, when it's finally time to show the US what we've got. We will play songs from our new album United, along with a ton of oldies as well, so we hope you are ready for a full-on metal onslaught."
Dream Evil returns with their fourth full-length album, "United". The group recently completed a new video for the album's opening track, 'Fire! Battle! In Metal!', with renowned director Patric Ullaeus (Dimmu Borgir, Lacuna Coil). The video definitely lives up to its title; click here to check it out.
