Metal News.
On Tues 11 Oct there will be a special school holidays Tight Arse Tuesday at the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel featuring Tidal, Later That Night, Wendy Icon, 919 and The Stanford Prison Experiment. Doors open at 7 PM, while entry is only $2. For those who've not heard of it before, Tight Arse Tuesday is a regular all-ages event run by The Gov to give young music fans a chance to enjoy some affordable live local musical entertainment.
Northern Assault 4, the latest installment of Northern Assault
(a regular metal event that's become something of a local institution),
will take place at Le Rox/Bridgeway Hotel on Sat 15 Oct. Bands
on the bill for this one will be Obsidian Aspect, Intended Victim,
Quasar, The Loving Tongue, Synnove and Blood Mason.
In more news on The Loving Tongue, this band will be re-pressing their 2003 album, 'Distant Dreams', and also going to Alice Springs to "bring metal/rock to the outback masses", taking part in a show put on by one of that centre's major FM stations.
On Sun 16 Oct, there will be an all-ages show at the Crown &
Anchor featuring A Red Dawn, Echo Generation, Fall Of Reason,
Torn From Rest and Locura. Doors open at 4 pm.
Classic Swedish death metal outfit Dismember are coming to Fowler's Live on Fri 28 Oct with Melburnians Gospel Of the Horns and locals Cauldron Black Ram.
And speaking of Cauldron Black Ram, this rather obscure outfit
has some new merchandise available in the form of sew-on patches
and a repressing of their album 'Skullduggery' (the material
on which is described as "old-styled, heavy as hell, piratical
rustic death metal") on Weird Truth Productions. Contact Damon
at The Cave care of mournfulcongregation@hotmail.com or damon777@iprimus.com.au.
The Cave also has copies of fellow locals Mournful Congregation's
'The Monad of Creation' DLP available, and should have some
more Mournful Congregation T-shirts in soon as well. Damon also
wishes to advise that there will be some rare downloadable tracks
on Mournful Congregation's website (which he unfortunately didn't
give me the address for, though it should be easy enough to
find). "A new one each month, for a month only, so don't miss
out," says he.
And in more local news, by the time you read this, Double Dragon will have begun work on their forthcoming new CDEP 'Scars Of Fire'. The band boasts that "the new songs are on the whole dark, melodic [and] brutal with a thrash metal feel to put a stick in the spokes of all things metalcore." 'Scars Of Fire' will be released nationally early next year.
Finally, in conjunction with Metal Tracks, famed underground
label Earache Records has put out a free downloadable sixteen-track
album entitled 'Burn', featuring tracks from such outfits as
Hate Eternal, Biomechanical, Carnival In Coal, Shortie, Mistress,
Alarum, Crotchduster, Neuraxis, Arsis and Watchmaker. To download,
go to http://www.metaltracks.com/freebies. Another free collection
of Earache tracks (twenty this time) has been put together by
Metal Tracks and Sweden's Close Up Magazine; this one includes
advance tracks from the likes of The Berzerker, Severe Torture,
!T.O.O.H.!, Ephel Duath and Akercocke, as well as a selection
of classic tracks from Napalm Death, At The Gates, Filthy Christians
and others. To download this one, go to http://www.metaltracks.com/closeup.
