The second will be a double-header with IOEarth at the Robin 2 in Bilston on December 14. The events follow the cancellation of Touchstone's DVD launch shows in June as a result of a family illness.

The band's schedule had already been kept light while bassist Paul 'Moo' Moorghen underwent spinal surgery. The band say: "Our Borderline special guests, the glorious Symphony Of Pain, bring their unique, eclectic blend of hard, melodic rock, laced with dark gothic overtones, fused with the dynamism of classical instrumentation."
