The band are playing a 45-minute middle slot on Power Of Metal, which also features Nevermore (drums: Van Williams), Symphony X (drums: Jason Rullo), Mercenary (drums: Morten Løwe Sørensen) and Thaurorod (drums: Joonas Pykälä-Aho).

These shows will mark the band’s first live appearances in 14 years, and are presented by the original line-up that recorded the band’s first three albums: Devon Graves (Buddy Lackey) on vocals, Dan Rock and Brian McAlpin on guitars, Ward Evans on bass and Norm Leggio, who has just been officially endorsed by Pearl, on drums. The final itinerary for Power Of Metal can be found on psychoticwaltz.com

The band are currently working out confirming two European festivals for the summer, but beyond those two dates it doesn’t seem likely that any further live shows will be possible in 2011. Upon returning home at the end of March, the band plan to start creating new material with the possibility of recording a new studio album with the original line-up.

In additional news: all four of the band’s studio albums will be released together in a deluxe, limited vinyl box by Century Media Records Europe. Titled 'The Architects Arise: The First Ten Years', this box will contain gatefold 180-gram lps of all four studio records plus their Aslan demo from 1986 and the 'Into The Everflow' demo. This 6-lp box will be limited to 500 copies, and the band will have copies of the box for sale during the Power Of Metal tour, while supplies last.

Additionally, 500 extra copies of 'A Social Grace', 'Into The Everflow' and 'Bleeding' will be pressed in a different vinyl color and sold individually.
