Ivar Bjørnson, one of Enslaved's guitarists and founding members, commented on the upcoming tour:

North America has become like a second home-shore to us; the rising support we've been getting for the last albums and tours has been amazing! We're more than ready to come over again and play our new album Riitiir live to show that the new material is extremely well-fitted for a live setting, and to reflect the enthusiasm and dedication we've been getting from the fans over there! See you on the road!

In addition to the tour, Enslaved are also scheduled to perform at Scion A/V's Roadburn Records showcase on Saturday, November 10th, 2012 at The Roxy in West Hollywood, as well as appearing at the Barge to Hell festival in December.
