European shows

On Friday, European death/black machine Belphegor will invade Latin America and present tracks from their latest studio offering, and most successful album to date, titled “Totenritual”.

This also marks the band‘s first venture to Latin America since the release of the long player, and is followed by a crusade through Australia and New Zealand in May, a yet unrevealed Eastern European tour in June and a return to some of the biggest festivals in Summer.

Seminal NYC hardcore veterans Agnostic Front, have changed the face of music throughout their 35-year long career and were partially responsible for the creation of the hardcore genre itself.

These rarely confronted and always respected leaders of hardcore were established as one of the meanest-sounding bands in the emerging punk genre, helping to initiate the term “hardcore”, and placing an entire uproar on the New York map by association. From the start, Agnostic Front released a catalogue of fast and violent punk tunes consisting of distinctive and aggressive drumming, fuming guitars, overdriven bass work, and a non-stop barrage of chaotic shouting.

After ten successful years with the label Nuclear Blast, British progressive protagonists Threshold have signed a new contract and extended their partnership with the label in July 2016.

Furthermore, they have also announced plans for their next release: Threshold are currently recording their 11th masterpiece at Thin Ice Studios in England, a new concept album that will be called “Legends of the Shires”. It is being produced by Karl Groom and Richard West and it's scheduled to be released in 2017. More information will be revealed soon.

While Lacuna Coil is kicking off their touring cycle for their new album “Delirium” in North America they are playing festivals worldwide before heading to Australia for four shows in October.

After a short break the band will embark on a full European headlining tour which they are announcing today. Tickets will go on sale June 3rd, 2016.

Metal Blade welcomes legendary Danish Thrashers Artillery to their arsenal!

 

Denmark’s Artillery is one Europe’s earliest thrash metal exports, and their contribution to the bourgeoning genre is difficult to ignore. The Danish quartet successfully managed to fuse an abrasive brutality with technicality and strong melodies, with the noteworthy guitar leads of the Stützer-brothers serving as highlights.
