LORD & SWITCHBLADE IN NEWCASTLE JUNE 6TH

Sat, 30 May 2009 07:26:28 GMT

Rising from the ashes of one of Australias premier metal bands, Dungeon, LORD have covered some incredible ground since their birth early

in 2006.
Having supported such international heavyweights as Nevermore (USA), Skinless (USA), Nightwish (Finland) and Saxon (UK), LORD have

finally found time to record their killer new album "Set In Stone".
Already halfway through a massive Australian tour, LORD are teaming up with Switchblade (NSW) to bring a massive once only event to

Newcastle on June 6th.
With Switchblade also on tour for their new album "Invictus Infinitum", this is a one off chance to see two of Australias best metal bands in

one place, for one night only!

Supported by two of Newcastles best in The Crowning Swarm (ex-Inane Eminence) and The Exiled you need to be sure not to miss this opportunity!

RIP Dave Browne (Taramis & Nothing Sacred)

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:44:55 GMT

This news has just recently gone up on the Clauz blog:

Dave Browne has passed away; Dave is best known for his drumming with 80s melodic thrash band Taramis, and thrashers Nothing Sacred.

I am unaware of the circumstances surrounding Dave's passing - but regardless, metal people who wish to pay their respects, might like to write a few gentle words over at the Taramis MySpace page, &/or Nothing Sacred MySpace page. I'm sure the guys would appreciate it, as they've all lost a friend.

x-posted australianmetal & metal4melbourne .

(I didn't know Dave, those bands are before my time for going to gigs -- but to have been a part of both those bands, he must have been quite a fine metal drummer - and he would be a familiar figure to the throngs who flocked to Bell St Rock.)

Addendum I: Simon Lukic at Musically Incorrect (RRR) will specially feature Taramis in honour of Dave, for the show on the 19th. The show will be web-streamed on the RRR page, should those outside Melbourne metro wish to tune in.

Addendum II: Brian Fisher-Giffen will also be featuring some Taramis in honour of Dave; www.blufm.org.au @ 10pm AEST 09.01.09.

Black & Death Gig in Geelong

Blurb as follows:

"DESTRUKTOR
GUILD OF DESTRUCTION
SANGUINARY MISANTHROPIA

Destruktor's first live conquest featuring the new lineup performing classic material as well as previewing tracks off the upcoming full-length 'Nailed'.

Unfortunately Ignivomous have had to pull out due to recording commitments. The mighty Guild of Destruction have stepped up to the plate to take their place.

Overbearing Intolerance have also had to back out of the show, so apologies to those who were looking forward to their debut. Black Metal warriors Sanguinary Misanthropia will now be firing the first salvos.
$10 entry

Merch will be available.

Potentially more bands to be announced!"

Soundworks Touring DEICIDE Australian / New Zealand Tour April 2009

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 12:42:43 GMT

This Press Release is republished as received -- with no editing for grammar or style.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

SOUNDWORKS TOURING presents

DEICIDE AUSTRALIAN/ NEW ZEALAND TOUR APRIL 2009

Known the world over as one of the founding fathers of Death Metal, Deicide stand strong to this day as one of the most influential and controversial metal bands ever. With a relentlessly brutal sound and uncompromisingly blasphemous lyrics, Deicide helped set the standards for Death Metal well over a decade ago and have maintained those standards ever since.
In March 2008 Deicide faced yet more controversy when a magazine revealed a leaked playlist of music that has been used to torture detainees, number one being the band’s ‘Fuck Your God’. Steve Asheim was quoted as saying that he was glad they could do their part for the troops and was glad Deicide were able to contribute.
Deicide have battled through numerous protests, accusations and line-up changes, and yet remained true to the music and their fans. Despite their problems though, Deicide are still triumphing as a band, with music and live performances that continue to draw in ecstatic reactions from their rabid fanbase.
Deicide return to Australia in April 2009 for what could quite possibly be the final time. With a new album under their belt in “Til Death Do Us Part” Deicide continue to deliver some of the most brutal, evil & satanic death metal on this god forsaken planet.
