Regarding writing new music, he said: “I know Richie [ Faulkner
Judas guitarist ] has started. He has some ideas in common, yes. So, we're ahead.” And about the shows, Ian Hill made it clear that it's something that will also happen: “Well, that will happen too. Obviously, if you have an album, you have to tour with it. So, yes, that will happen too.”
