In their statement, they expressed excitement about what’s to come:
“As we head into the final shows of The Poisoned Ascendancy tour, we want to thank everyone who’s come out to celebrate with us.

To go along with this, we are already starting to make plans for the 2026 & 2027 touring cycles, hitting every corner.” They concluded their statement with heartfelt gratitude towards their fans, assuring them, “We’ll be back with all of you very soon.”
