In the early days of 2010, a replacement for Johansen was found in Lars Erik Asp, just in time for the second part of the Tick Tock Tour. The original plan was to visit six countries in March/April, but due to a plane crash in Poland, with the corresponding one week of mourning, the Polish promoter decided to cancel the concerts in Poland from 16–18 April. The dates were postponed until September 2010. On 1 May 2010, the band's first concert in the United States was announced as part of a progressive rock festival. Gazpacho played at the Majestic Theater in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. For the European gigs in September, they hired Micheal Krumins (Green Carnation, Sirenia) as a stand-in guitarist as Vilbo had to take time off due to family commitments. In 2010, during the Tick Tock Tour, Gazpacho sold copies of their new album, "Missa Atropos". Even before its official release on 26 November, it had achieved number 1 on Progwereld, a Dutch prog site. "Missa Atropos" was a concept album taking the idea of Atropos, a Greek Goddess, and updating it to the modern era, where a man isolates himself from the world in a lighthouse to write a mass for Atropos, experiencing solitude as he does so. The story tells of what happens inside his head, his three attempts to write a mass, and his ultimate success at creation. The new album was accompanied by a 12-gig tour] in five different countries in January and February of 2011. One of those countries was the UK, where the London gig at Dingwalls on 30 January was recorded and released on 24 October as the double live CD called "London". The end of 2011 brought the news that "March of Ghosts" would be the name of the band's seventh studio album and the follow-up to "Missa Atropos". While "Missa Atropos" was a long story about one person leaving everything behind, "March of Ghosts" was a collection of short stories. The idea behind the album was to have the lead character spend a night where a number of ghosts (dead and alive) would march past him to tell their stories. Characters include Haitian war criminals, the crew of the Mary Celeste, a returning American World War I soldier who finds himself in 2012, and the ghost of an English comedy writer (P. G. Wodehouse) who was wrongly accused of treason.
