Drummer Sarah Jensen is especially excited about hitting the road and reconnecting with their dedicated fan base. “Touring is where we truly come alive as a band,” says Jensen. “There’s nothing quite like the energy of a live show and the connection we share with our fans. We can’t wait to bring the music of ‘Eclipse of Despair’ to life on stage.”
With their new album receiving critical acclaim and a world tour on the horizon, Plague Bearer shows no signs of slowing down.
