Tom Hess will be on tour this summer with legendary guitarist Joe Stump playing together in a brand new band called, "HOLYHELL". The band sounds nothing like HESS, it is more in the style of Nightwish (European metal with a female singer). The band is signed with Magic Circle Music / SPV. Holyhell will be the opening band on the Manowar / Rhapsody 2005/2006 tour. The following are the confirmed tour dates for the Manowar, Rhapsody & Holyhell 2005 tour:
