After blowing us away with their show at Tuska earlier this summer, we can’t help but be really excited about the news that Make Them Suffer is releasing a new self-titled album via Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records later this year still!

While on the road supporting In This Moment and Ice Nine Kills on tour in the USA, the Swedish metallers of Avatar came to bring their “Great Metal Circus” to the Clyde Theatre in Ft Wayne, Indiana.
