The band kicked off their 2022 world tour in Latvia last month, debuting new tracks “Alone” and “Endsong”.
The tracks were followed by further debuts including “And Nothing Is Forever”, “I Can Never Say Goodbye” and “A Fragile Thing” offering a sense of what to expect from forthcoming new album Songs Of A Lost World, which Smith said was “almost finished” back in May.
