The four unmissable dates of their "Prelude to Darkness Tour" offer a unique chance to experience live the energy and intensity of their latest studio album, FAUST Act I: Prelude to Darkness, released last November.
The album, inspired by Goetheโs masterpiece, delves into profound themes such as the pursuit of knowledge, love, and redemption, enriched by extraordinary collaborations like that with James LaBrie of Dream Theater. Following the acclaim of their previous albums, Poetica and Wasteland, Stranger Vision once again showcase their ability to blend power, technical skill, and melody into a unique and personal style.
This concert series will feature five incredible supporting acts: Aether Void, Grimgotts, 40,000 Leagues, Skies Turn Black, and Tales of Perditionโa stellar lineup that will join Stranger Vision on stage, making every night an unforgettable event for metal fans.
Donโt miss the opportunity to be part of the "Prelude to Darkness Tour" and be swept away by the magic of Stranger Vision!
