"It is with great pleasure and riveting pressure to make our comeback on stage, in Torino, Italy. Almost exactly 19 years after we first played in Torino, the first time Ancient came to Italy, and also the first time I put my feet on this delicious and marvelous country, so yes we have special feelings from Torino. It was also the first time Dhilorz saw Ancient live, and only 2 years later he found himself as a band member. We look forward to unleash the Ancient spirit and show Torino a performance unlike anything seen by Ancient before!"
