Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you the second best single of the year. The number one slot was secured by C.Aarmé back in April with "We are the world" and number two belongs to Sir Eric Beyond and the song "Democracy". Mere words cannot do Mr. Beyond justice, as any attempt to dissect his greatness is bound to fall short. Instead, let me encourage you to open your ears and listen. The genius is obvious.
The first dates confirmed for the upcoming In Flames US tour:
01/25 - Marquee Theatre, Tempe, AZ
01/28 - Avalon, Los Angeles, CA
01/30 - Roseland Theatre, Portland, OR
02/01 - Showbox, Seattle, WA
02/03 - Salt Air Pavilion, Salt Lake City, UT
02/04 - Gothic Theatre, Denver, CO
