Stein comments: "We have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time! It’s a huge milestone in our career to return to Brazil after 24 years, where there are numerous online communities that wholeheartedly embrace EXUMER and where our fans have been loyally following us since our first appearances in the 1980s. There could hardly be a more cult tour package, between EXUMER and ARTILLERY, to hit South America and the timing could not be better for us to return there shortly after the release of our new album." EXUMER’s new album "Fire And Damnation" will be released via Metal Blade Records in April 2012. ARTILLERY’s Michael Stützer comments: "ARTILLERY are looking forward to come to South America to play for some of the most dedicated Thrashers in the world.
