Regarding the tour, the band's drummer, vocalist and only remaining founding member Proscriptor McGovern commented the following:

Since the release of our latest recording, Abzu, the response has been extremely vehement and now is the perfect moment to commemorate the album's essence throughout North America. We purposely waited until the timing was ideal to embark on this journey, as we shall contaminate the communities with our craft of Mythological Occult Metal. We're attempting to divide the concerts into two sections: the first act will showcase songs spanning from our entire discography, as the second act will focus on Phase Two from the album Tara: The Cythrául Klan's Scrutiny. For the past couple of years, many of Absu's followers have requested specified songs from this chapter of Tara, so it is our aspiration to give the people what they want.

Prior to this extensive North American tour, Absu will embark on a short European tour at the beginning of March with the following dates confirmed:

01/03/2013: The Dome - London, England
02/03/2013: Club Fabrica - Bucharest, Romania
03/03/2013: Vera - Groningen, The Netherlands

05/03/2013: Baroeg - Rotterdam, The Netherlands
08/03/2013: Cursed Uppsala - Uppsala, Sweden
09/03/2013: Nosturi - Helsinki, Finland
