The Shippuuden Tour (Years 90-91): Chronicles of the Hurricane and new heights
Between the first and second tours, the Coven took only a short break; as Rhiannon once said, "after being idle for so long, veterans like myself and Laetitia thought we just couldn't waste any more time pursuing our dreams of being a top band". And so the second tour started with a show in Glasgow - the largest one the coven had had until then -, following a route very similar to that of the previous one: beginning with Europe, then going to Asia through Turkey before going to Oceania and, finally, descending the Americas and returning to London.
The second tour (informally called "Shippuuden Tour") is solely based on the songs of the second (yet to be released) full-length album, Chronicles of the Hurricane. More singles were released along the tour: Valley of the End and Goddess of the Beginning, both succeeding Legend of the Tailed Beasts.
It was in the first half of that tour that the Coven broke the contract with its first recording studio, which had been inactive for weeks. Fearful of going through the same issue again, and wishing to organize the band's business more personally, Rhiannon founded Stark Winter Records. While it now supports various other bands, the company started as a platform for the Coven's future releases.
The Shippuuden Tour also marked new highs for the Coven, with their first-ever performance to be rated "perfect" (Porto, 50th of Y90) and their first gig attended by 10.000 people (Jakarta, 19th of Y91).
