The release coincides with the announcement of a massive 2026 U.S. tour, marking the band&#8217;s long-awaited return to the road.<\/p>\n<p>Founder and guitarist <strong>Geoff Thorpe<\/strong> described the single as &#8220;in your face! Catchy riffs! Blistering solos, with a heavy metal and punk rock attitude!&#8221; He added that the concept of a nightmare-themed park came together during recording sessions with vocalist <strong>Jimmie Evans<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Filmed across Germany, Sweden, Florida, and Kentucky and edited by <strong>Ingo Sp\u00f6rl<\/strong>, the video captures the song&#8217;s relentless energy, featuring machine-gun riffs, pounding kick drums, and a melodic, harmony-driven chorus in classic <strong>Vicious Rumors<\/strong> style. &#8220;We thought this song had great potential,&#8221; <strong>Thorpe<\/strong> explains, &#8220;and it&#8217;s the fourth single from <em>The Devil&#8217;s Asylum<\/em>, showcasing the band at the top of its craft.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The tour, postponed earlier due to Thorpe&#8217;s broken shoulder, promises to deliver a full celebration of metal. Fans can expect a mix of classic hits, deep cuts, and tracks from <em>The Devil&#8217;s Asylum<\/em>, performed with the intensity that has defined the band&#8217;s career. <strong>Thorpe<\/strong> adds: &#8220;The guys and I are looking forward to getting back on the road.
