Many fans were asking about a tour, and this is what Jani said in an interview with "Power of Metal":
So far none, since as you probably know, Timo is very busy with Stratovarius now that they just released Polaris. Hopefully next year we get to do some live shows, as I would love to bring this material to life up on the stage as well.[4]
In June 2014, a new official Facebook page was created for Cain's Offering, and Jani mentioned that he plans to have a new Cain's Offering album written by September – according to him, he has four songs almost finished, and four more that he composed with Kotipelto.[5] At least two of them would be used in a future album by Cain's Offering or Stratovarius.[5]
On 5 March 2015, the title and tracklist of their second album was announced on the band's official Facebook page.[6] The album is called Stormcrow. The album was released on 15 May 2015 in Europe and on 19 May 2015 in North America. In Japan, the album was planned to be released on 29 April 2015.
On 15 April, one month before the European release, the band released a lyric video of the first single called "I Will Build You a Rome".[7]
The band surprised fans again on 22 April 2015 by releasing yet another song from the forthcoming album. This time it was the title track "Stormcrow".[8] Both songs are available for download on iTunes. The band also announced their first ever live performances at a mini-tour of two dates in Japan in 2016.[9]
