In the video, Anneke reveals that the lyrical content of the album is inspired by the many cities she has visited while being on the road.

Anneke comments: “For a long time I’ve wanted to make a kind of concept album about the cities we’ve visited, because we tour so much and see so many countries and cities. I often have a strong feeling for a city. It can be anything – sometimes I visualize a city as a man or a character, or sometimes something happened in that city and I want to write about that.”

The first confirmed tour dates are as follows:
9th June – Neushoorn (warm-up show), Leeuwarden – the Netherlands
30th June – Tuska Open Air, Helsinki – Finland
14th July – Masters of Rock, Vizovice – Czech Republic
15th July – Dynamo Metal Fest, Eindhoven – the Netherlands

Line-up VUUR:
Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering) – lead vocals
Ed Warby (Hail of Bullets, Ayreon, ex-Gorefest) – drums
Jord Otto (My Propane, ex-ReVamp) – guitars
Ferry Duijsens – guitars
Johan van Stratum (Stream of Passion) – bass
Marcela Bovio (Stream of Passion) – vocals
