Oliveri, who released his second solo album 'Death Acoustic' in October, is set to tour the album in the US next January and February.

Recent shows have seen Oliveri play with just an acoustic guitar, and you can watch video footage of him in action at a recent gig at Rosenkeller in Germany by scrolling down now.
