Actually, it all started pretty organically, out of a growing friendship; we listened to each other\u2019s demos, exchanged ideas, and things just grew from there. I think what we\u2019ve ended up with is very fresh, and certainly new for us. If our respective schedules allow, I\u2019d love to work with Apocalyptica again\u2026\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cYes, we had a great time being on the road together,\u201d continues Apocalyptica\u2019s Eicca Toppinen. \u201cWe loved the idea and the experience of working together in this way. We\u2019re really proud of the song, and we hope fans of both bands will enjoy it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2018SIN IN JUSTICE\u2019will be released via Spinefarm Records on November 20<sup>th<\/sup>.\u3000(Check out preview : <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_DoXN5Vim4E\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/_DoXN5Vim4E<\/a> )<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Apocalyptica \/ VAMP<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">S<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> November UK tour <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">is <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">as below, with shows in Japan following next year:-<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Shadowmaker UK Tour 2015<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>24 \u2013 Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton<br \/>25 \u2013 Rock City, Nottingham<br \/>26 \u2013 ABC, Glasgow<br \/>27 \u2013 Shepherd\u2019s Bush Empire, London<br \/>28 \u2013 Academy 2, Manchester<br \/>29 \u2013 Academy, Bristol<br \/>Ticket Link : <a href=\"http:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fkililive.com%2Fartists%2Fapocalyptica&amp;h=lAQGRq0Iu&amp;enc=AZMJoR_XUDFW1Z5nlv0tQlIg1diYJtqd9wXZr2dnORKrR5RxXmk22atAHclQ47xlKYPkumTxmfqFixP7sxfjrhF7wryh62pu2p7J043O-CwaVgAZj9BEIaAm4tGQXDCoCnt6iPnvQEDqhYs-Zhr5MdWnVttvU0QV4nkpfoZ7vU-w4Xr5jCWHpM_8gniGzuUD74SIo06MiOTNhoX0I1Sd1nVW&amp;s=1\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/kililive.com\/artists\/apocalyptica<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">VAMPS LIVE 2016 JOINT 666<br \/><\/span>At Zepp Nagoya<br \/>13 \/1\/ 2016<br \/>14\/1\/ 2016<br \/>16\/1\/2016<br \/>17\/1\/2016 <br \/>More info : <a href=\"http:\/\/vampslive2015-16.vampsxxx.com\/\">http:\/\/vampslive2015-16.vampsxxx.com\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>Since first coming together in 2008, VAMPShave played hundreds of shows in Japan, often taking over sizeable venues for multiple nights; in addition, they have developed their exotic brand of rock music around the world, performing live in the UK (including an appearance at the legendary Download Festival in 2014), Europe, Asia, South America and the US, touring there with Sixx:AM, featuring on key festival line-ups and selling out the world famous Roxy \u2013 the historical Los Angeles venue that helped launch the career of artists such as the Rolling Stones and Bob Marley.
