California hellraisers, metal masters and SPV/Steamhammer recording artist, Vicious Rumors, will set out on a world tour in 2023.
The US leg from March 8 to April 1st has grown to 21 shows. The European leg starts April 29 to May 19 with plans for a Japanese leg to follow.
The first 2 shows at 70000 Tons Of Metal cruise were the first of the special "Atlantic Years" set, also the first with Ronny Munroe (Metal Church, TSO) on vocals.
Geoff Thorpe said: "We couldn't be happier with Ronny in the band. He understands our sound and can bring back the classic songs live in the spirit of Carl Albert with his own twist unlike any other. After 3 years of down time we can't wait to hit the road with this killer show in the US/ Europe and Japan."
