No, they won't be coming to the US. 1 France and 1 Germany show is all.
mizerable_d: The recent releases (Pageant, Nocturnal Opera) are very good, but it depends on your tastes. Dix Infernal, the first album, had a faster and heavier beat to it on nearly all of the songs. Dialogue Symphonie, their first single, was much like that as well. I like both songs from the DS single, DS and Forbidden. Very nice.
For Dix Infernal, I recommend Priere, Pessimiste, Gloire dans le Silence and Ange.
Hmm... I can't say I liked the Shadows Temple single all that much, but Night Breed was a particularly good song.
Nocturnal Opera. Nocturnal Romance, vestige and monophobia are beautiful songs, the latter in particular. Vizard(I REALLY adore this song <3), Perish and the Prophet are good for the harder side.
Pageant. A two track single, however the first track is an intro. About a minute long. Pageant itself is WONDERFUL. One of my top five MDM songs. I love it.
For an overall recommendation, I would pick:
Pageant
Vizard
the Prophet
monophobia
Dialogue Symphonie
Forbidden
Priere
Pessimiste
Night Breed
Gloire dans le Silence
Those should give you a good idea of how MDM's music is. Heavy on guitar, fast drums, lots of harpischord and organ.
