Metal News.
Local band Later That Night's debut self-titled album is now in store, with an all-ages launch planned for Sat 16 Dec; this will be held at the Enigma Bar, with support from Double Dragon.
The next War Room will take place on Fri 25 Nov at the Enigma
Bar, and feature Sydney's Infernal Method and Synthetic Breed
from Melbourne, as well as locals A Red Dawn and Truth Corroded.
Infernal Method, who were the support for Swedish band Insision
earlier in the year, will be launching their debut full-length,
'Architecture Of Instinct' on the night, while the show will
be Synthetic Breed's first here.
On Sat 26 Nov, Le Rox/Bridgeway Hotel will be hosting its last metal show for the year. The all-ages event will feature Tidal, Diatribe, Double Dragon and Synthetic Breed, as well as new local outfit Splyne. Doors open at 7 PM.
Also on Sat 26 Nov, the Southeast town of Naracoorte will host
the first of the three all-ages shows that will comprise the
South Australian leg of The All Age Crusade Tour featuring Gyroscope,
After The Fall and Kisschasy. The show in Naracoorte will take
place in the Town Hall on Smith St, doors opening at 8 PM. The
remaining two shows will be held in Adelaide on the following
day (Sun 27 Nov) at the Flinders University Tavern, with an
afternoon one (3 PM - 6:30 PM), and an evening one (doors open
at 7:30 PM).
As part of their 'Good Music For Bad People Australian Tour', New York State band Every Time I Die and Byron Bay's Parkway Drive will be doing an all-ages show at Fowlers Live on Fri 2 Dec. A few more American bands will be coming our way a week later when Champion, Internal Affairs and Betrayed play an all-ages show at the Enigma Bar on Fri 9 Dec; also playing on the night will be Perth's Miles Away.
In early news of a show to be held next year, Sydney melodic
progressive power metal act Transcending Mortality will be doing
a gig here on Sat 14 Jan with local bands Raven Black Night,
The Loving Tongue and maybe a few others. In the meantime, you
can start to familiarise yourself with their material by going
to www.transcendingmortality.com, where you will be able to
download MP3s for three of the tracks from their early 2005
demo, 'Into The Light'.
If you have a taste for all things obscure in the realm of metal, The Cave Distro has a couple of new items for sale that might tickle your fancy. The first of these is a cassette version of local underground act Mournful Congregation's, 'The Monad Of Creation'; only 200 of these have been produced, so if you want one, get in quick. In addition, the site is selling copies of Black Goat Fanzine, "a classic old-style Australian zine featuring Grenade, Portal, Zemial, Arghoslent, Ares Kingdom, Necros Christos, Goat Semen and more". For prices and other details, go to www.thecavedistro.tk.
Finally, in another of those occasional pieces about wacky metal-related
goings-on in America, a Californian fan of Slipknot inadvertently
caused a bit of panic this Halloween after going out dressed
as one of his idols (in an orange prison inmate's jumpsuit,
shackles and mask), and being mistaken for a prison escapee
in the process. After someone rang Placer County's Sheriff's
Department to report that they'd seen the man getting into a
car at a local Taco Bell fast food restaurant, a lockdown was
ordered at the county jail, so that a headcount of the inmates
could be conducted. According to departmental spokesman Lt.
George Malim, "When you hear something like that, you err on
the side of caution." No inmates were discovered missing, and
police eventually caught up with the fan, who responded to news
of the drama he'd inadvertently caused by saying "Oops". Wise
words.
