Here is what the band had to say:

“We will come over to the US and Canada in May / June for a full North American headlining tour! Oh yes, baby.

“It’s not easy for European metal bands to tour in North America and we’ve been wanting to get over there for a long time, so we’re very happy that the extremely positive feedback that Precambrian has received in Canada and the US finally makes it possible now.”
