LAMB OF GOD to Support SLAYER on 2017 Summer Tour, Also Featuring BEHEMOTH

Beginning July 12, 2017 in Bemidji, MN

nternationally-renowned heavy rock leaders LAMB OF GOD will support headlining metal legends Slayer, along with fellow supporting death metal group Behemoth, on what is set to be this summer’s most-anticipated heavy music tour. The six-week expedition will rage across North America beginning July 12 in Bemidji, MN, winding up in Phoenix, AZ on August 20.

Slayer and LAMB OF GOD will also play Wisconsin’s Rock Fest 2017 (7/13) and Rock USA 2017 (7/15), and then meet up with Behemoth at the Chicago Open Air Festival on July 16. Tickets go on sale this Friday, March 3; log on to http://www.slayer.net/tour or http://www.lamb-of-god.com for all purchasing details.

Kerry King of Slayer says, “As metal tours go, this is the one that your fellow metal heads will be bragging about if you miss it! Not very often I get to go on tour where we are all friends to start. That being said, the potential for greatness at these events is mind blowing. I look forward to being a part of it, and hanging with old friends – bands as well as fanatical fans! Let the festivities begin!”

Randy Blythe of LAMB OF GOD says, “It’s been a while since we’ve toured with the almighty Slayer and even longer since we’ve hit the road with our friends in Behemoth – I can’t wait! This tour is gonna be the feel-good event of the summer- the gigs are gonna be like the Haight-Ashbury during the Summer of Love in ’67! Okay, so that’s complete bullsh*t, it’s gonna be absolutely nothing like that, so don’t show up with flowers in your hair looking for free hugs or anything stupid like that. It will definitely be a good f**king time though (as long as your definition of a good time means brutal, caustic, and hideously loud music) – see ya there!”

Adam “Nergal” Darskiof Behemoth adds, “It is with the utmost pride we are announcing the Slayer, LAMB OF GOD and Behemoth summer tour! We are beyond excited to be joining this bill with these living legends and… our friends one more time! We are also stoked about coming back to North American shores for the last time before kicking off the next album cycle. Come and join this EXTREME metal feast with us!”

Latin Metal legends “Ill Niño” Announces “15 Years Of Revolution” UK tour this March

February 27, 2017 darkartconspiracy Leave a comment

Latin Metal legends “15 Years Of Revolution” UK tour this March

Ill Niño brings the celebrations to the UK this March, marking the 15th anniversary of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Revolution Revolución’, by playing the classic in its entirety, alongside other fan favourites from the band’s extensive catalogue.

Drummer Dave Chavarri says, “It’s amazing that it’s been 15 Years, since the release of our debut Revolution….Revolución. It’s been a wild ride, with lots of great memories, toured the globe with some amazing bands, that are now our tour family, and we’ve made many friends along the way. I can’t say that it hasn’t been with our share of trying times. But this East Coast Latino Crew, is still here rocking, doing it our way, and not taking anyone’s bulls**t! To many more years of Revolution.”

Reigning from New Jersey/New York, Ill Niño are a force to be reckoned with. ‘Revolution Revolucion’ marked what was the beginning for these founding fathers of Latin Metal. The band continues strong 15 years later and show no signs of letting up as they bring their “15 Years Of Revolution” tour to the UK this March following extensive touring across Europe, U.S., Australia, UK, South America, Japan, and China.

There’s no doubt… Ill Niño have cemented themselves as one of the best, must see live metal bands.

With 1.3 million worldwide albums sales under their belts and still going strong, their breed of metal to the masses resonates with longterm and new fans. Not following the typical flavour of the day musical trends, and sticking to their guns, is what makes Ill Niño one of the most prolific Latin Metal bands of all time.

“15 Years Of Revolution” Ill Niño UK Tour

23rd March Norwich, Waterfront

24th March Manchester, Academy 3

25th March Glasgow, Classic Grand

26th March Bristol, Fleece

28th March London, Islington Academy

29th March Southampton, Talking Heads

THE BOUNCING SOULS ANNOUNCE UK SHOWS & 10TH STUDIO ALBUM SIMPLICITY OUT NOW VIA RISE RECORDS

February 20, 2017 darkartconspiracy Leave a comment

Bouncing Souls have announced UK shows this June.
You can see the band at the following dates supported by The Great Collapse and Great Cynics:

19 June – Brudenell Social Club, Leeds – ENGLAND

20 June – The Hairy Dog, Derby – ENGLAND

21 June – Owl Sanctuary, Norwich – ENGLAND

22 June – The Dome, London – ENGLAND

Tickets on sale now.

Bio:
The Bouncing Souls are something of a punk rock institution. The band have been consistently churning out their beloved brand of anthemic punk since 1989, and have earned an intensely loyal fanbase with tireless touring and an unrelenting love of making music. As the band approached the creation of their tenth full length, they sought to make a record that captured the spirit of their earlier work, while incorporating who they are today. That record is Simplicity and its 13 tracks of undeniably infectious punk rock prove that The Bouncing Souls have a lot more to say.

In making Simplicity, The Bouncing Souls set out to write songs that, first and foremost, would translate into the live environment. With over 20 years worth of anthems under their collective belt, it’s a challenge to write a setlist that incorporates newer material, but Simplicity‘s many standouts are more than up to the task. Next, the band enlisted the help of producer John Seymour, who manned the mixing boards for their fan favorite LPs How I Spent My Summer Vacation and Anchors Aweigh, to record the album with all of the raw energy of the live performance. The production of Simplicity perfectly embodies the band’s bite and power, the driving guitars, prominent bass, rock-solid drums, and soaring vocals all cutting through with no unneeded studio shine. From speedy hardcore-influenced ragers, to comparatively tender punk ballads, Simplicity‘s dynamics show every side of The Bouncing Souls.

On Simplicity, The Bouncing Souls do what so few long-running bands are able to accomplish: they utilize all of the skills and lessons that come from over 20 years of making music, while still capturing the reckless spontaneity of their past work. That delicate balance can only be found if there’s a sincerity in the songs that comes from genuine love of playing music together, and The Bouncing Souls have that in spades.

The band released new album ‘Simplicity’ in the summer 2016 via Rise Records. This was the bands first album since 2012 and first with new drummer George Rebelo of Hot Water Music.

Simplicity tracklist:

1. Driving All Night
2. Euphoria
3. Satellite
4. Digital Twilight Zone
5. I Wanna Be Bored
6. Hey Aliens
7. Hero Zero
8. Writing On The Wall
9. Rebel Song
10. Tightrope
11. Gravity
12. Bees
13. Up To Us
