Canadian Prog/Power band BOREALIS is going to be direct support on all of these shows. Best news I've heard in a LONG time.

Well they only have two albums. One is self-released from 2008 or 2009, and the other is from this year, entitled "Fall From Grace". It's leaps and bounds ahead of the debut both in material and sound quality/production, and I assume their set will be based around the new record. GREAT album.

Damn, no dates around me.... I'd definitely go and see Saxon if they were only playing a little closer. The NYC show is on my birthday, though

I don't really agree, I actually think the debut is superior. The main advantage the new record has is better production. Either way, both are fantastic and were among the best albums of the year.

Unfortunately I won't be able to catch this tour because the Toronto show is 19+. I've seen Borealis 4 times, but I don't think they've played a show since the new album was released. It'll be a major disappointment if they don't play any songs from the debut in the future.
