Current guitarist Misha Mansoor stated that, “We are extremely excited to have him on board, and can’t wait to show you all the cool new music we have been working on together,” Misha adds. “Since we made arrangements for the tour before Mark was inducted, our good friend Nolly (Red Seas Fire) will be filling in on the European tour opening for Dream Theater. However, that will be the last tour we do with a fill-in guitarist, as Mark will join on full-time after that!”

Mark Holcomb had this to say in response, “I couldn’t be more excited as not only have these guys been great friends of mine for a long time, but I consider every last one of them musical siblings in a sense, each of us brings something different to the table and I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish.”
