The band of Andrew Eldrtitch back to Italy Monday and Tuesday for two concerts in Milan and Bologna. As three years earlier, this tour will not be preceded by any new release but is intended as a pure desire to perform live again, without any promotional purpose.

"Temple of Love and, despite almost two decades of silence on the record, their legend is as strong as ever.
