The clip comes as news of the band's first European tour is confirmed. Royal Thunder will perform a handful of mid-April dates with Pallbearer including a stop at Roadburn on Apr. 18. The band also kick off a month of North American dates, joining Enslaved and Pallbearer for a trek that launches on Jan. 30 at Underground Arts in Philadelphia.
"This is a long awaited tour for both Royal Thunder and the many European fans who have reached out to us over the past couple of years," said singer/guitar player Mlny Parsonz of the band's first European tour. "Roadburn is a wild dream come true. Anyone I have talked to that has played Roadburn always has exciting and positive feedback on the festival. Europe or Bust! Here we come!"
