Wacken Metal Battle: Semi-Final 1 Results

Posted in Gig Listing, Gig Review, Music on February 27, 2012 by Tickets There

The first of two Semi-Finals for the Wacken 2012 Metal Battle took place in the Pint on Saturday (Feb 25th). Six bands from around the country battled it out to earn a place in the final which takes place on April 21st at The Pint, Dublin. There were three places up for grabs and they went to Warpath, Exzeltic and Beltbuckle Overdrive, all from Dublin. Despite putting on a great show, Belfast born Red Six failed to make it through, nor did Kildare hopefuls, Spittin’ Bones or the extremely confusing Clurichaun from Tipperary.

Warpath were always going to easily walk through to the final in this writers opinion. Their power and brutal grasp of the classic death metal style make them a hot contender for first place in the final, let a lone the semi and seeing them on stage was a reminder of that. You know it’s good when you spend the gig wondering what it is you did to piss the singer off so much.

Exzeltic were a Tickets There choice for review some time back and we passed. One of those wonderful occasions where the MySpace wasn’t up to scratch but the band rock like mother**kers. They went up first to feck all folks and still managed to pull through. Excellent, tight solo ridden thrash metal. Win or lose, Tickets There will be paying much closer attention to these guys from now on.

 And finally we come to the third winner, Beltbuckle Overdrive. BBOD probably need a few more practices before they’ll really pull you in, but that’s our opinion. For the many folks that showed up just to hear them play it’s a different story. Fun to watch, bass player seems mental.  

So it’s all eyes on the second Semi-Final which takes place on March 24th @ The Pint. On the bill you have Bakken, By Any Means, Celtachor, Dirty Diamonds, Psykosis and Zealot Cult.

Hellfire()Sounds Review: Rebels By Nature

Posted in Hellfire()Sounds : REVIEWS, Music on February 22, 2012 by Tickets There

Despite the awesome “!!metal-\,,/-ness!!” of Hell()Sounds, we’re also going to cover hard rock (like it or not) cause metal is great and all, but you need diversity…..well, do you f**k, but hard rock is always welcome.  Today we’re looking at Belfast band, Rebels By Nature who mix raspy, gritty vocals, heavy guitars and booming tunes that appear just one decent producer away from kicking the living crap out of ya. Tonight Matthew, we’re going Facebook!

First of four tunes on their Facebook is ‘Dead Man’, a sweaty ball of riffs-attitude and lead-GALORE!. There’s moments where the music disappears and sounds a little weak but everything’s here and it just needs a proper rock producer to step in and knock it together. Lyrics are great, vocals style is fairly brutal – think Lemmy meets Kieran Daly (X-Wired Desire). ‘We Are Rebels’ is a little grittier, harder and better built. There is the odd moment where a pointless lead jumps in and everyone else downs tools. A song like this needs adrenalin, no stopping but it doesn’t manage to destroy the pace and it still kicks ass. The best though is yet to come…

Third track, ‘Where The Wasteland Ends’ is a country styled ballad. Country styled ballads have no place in HELL()SOUNDS so we’re moving on! Post-Country Ballad confusion, we have ‘Blood & Whiskey’. One of the most over used, but still coolest titles floating around the rock world. Who doesn’t want to have an original song called Blood & Whiskey in their set? It’s like a f**king epic! Fortunately Rebels By Nature can be proud of theirs. Rallying, heavy as hell and a true, 100% bona fide stomper of a tune. There’s improvements  that could be tacked on here and there, but not much in fairness. Tickets There can recommend giving the live version a go for proper effect. Check out their Facebook now to hear there tunes (yes, including the country ballad thing). Rock on!

KISS Announced As Sonisphere 2012 UK Headliners

Posted in Gig Listing, Music, News with tags , , , , , , , , , on February 22, 2012 by Tickets There

You wanted the best!!!! KISS are coming to Europe in 2012 as Tickets There predicted. The band have been announced as one of the headliners for this year’s Sonisphere UK festival joining other acts Queen, Faith No More, Marilyn Manson, Incubus, Mastodon, Andrew WK and so on. They will headline the main stage, Friday July 6th. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Thursday Feb 23rd @ 09:00am sharp.

The band are set to release their new album, ‘MONSTER’ in June and follow it with a lengthy headlining tour around the world with the European arena / festival dates expected to happen next summer. This will be KISS’s twentieth studio album and will follow 2009’s massively successful ‘Sonic Boom’.

Unfortunately for fans, Sonisphere UK will be their only European appearance this year. KISS last played Europe in 2010 on their ‘Sonic Boom Over Europe’ tour, performing 35 shows in 18 countries. In total, their next tour is expected to last almost two years. Tickets There would like to take this opportunity to bow down to KISS, declare our unworthiness and hail them as the Gods they are. Carry on my Mighty KISS!

Hellfire()Sounds Review: Shardborne (Aeonian Sequence E.P.)

Posted in EP Review, Hellfire()Sounds : REVIEWS, Music, Special Features with tags , , , , , on February 21, 2012 by Tickets There

As with the IRISH NOISE! Reviews, we’re not limiting ourselves to just random tracks for the Hellfire series. Today for example, we’ve been listening to Shardborne’sAeonian Sequence’ EP which was released last year as a free download or very nicely priced €5 CD. These guys have been around for almost ten years so we won’t treat them as newbies and neither should you. This EP screams experience, a fined craft for traditional Celtic folk metal and a powerful skill and writing very soothing, involved tracks.

Opening with the fantastic ‘B141’, it doesn’t immediately click that these guys are an instrumental band. Unlike some, they don’t go down the old road of basically writing a normal verse/chorus job and just forget to advertise for a singer. B141 is a mix of fast guitars, heavy drumming and swoops, loops ‘n’ changes. This feel is carried on in second track ‘Deimos’ which pushed both the bands lighter side, with soothing brides, un-intruding guitar leads and waves before the mighty backdrop of drums and riffs trounce in; paving the way for the bleak ‘Aeonian Sequence Pt.1 – Societies Collapse’. Metal military drumming, chaos, sings of strength and aggression all pour into one of this track with the odd moment of computer jazz confusion and emptiness with the lead guitars acting as the protagonist and the wall of sound the antagonist. The jazz moments play Charlie Chaplin.

‘Pt.2, Enduring’ carries on the assault with heavier riffs, more poignant guitar leads and even a touch of romance. This isn’t a song, it’s a full blown stage production with characters, stories and emotion. An excellent piece of music from start to finish that could be amazing in a live setting with KISS’s budget. If you haven’t heard them, check out their Soundcloud and download this. Even if you don’t like instrumental music, I can guarantee you’ll hardly notice and by the time you reach Aeonian Sequence Pt.1 & 2, you’ll be sold. Excellent find! Long live Limerick metal!

Hellfire()Sounds Review: OVEROTH

Posted in Hellfire()Sounds : REVIEWS, Music, Special Features with tags , , , , , , , , , on February 20, 2012 by Tickets There

Welcome to Hellfire()Sounds, Tickets There’s brand new metal review series. Like the Irish Noise and MySpace Reviews of the past, we’ll be jumping around MySpace’s, Facebook profiles, Soundcloud’s….etc. for the best new / old / unheard / overplayed metal we can find. Today we kick off the series with Overoth, whose five MySpace tracks have been doing the job all the way to the bank this morning.

Overoth have promised a comeback this year with new material well under way. In the meantime, metal fans would do well to revisit the Belfast band’s debut album Kingdom of Shadows (2010) and their debut E.P. Death Personified (2007) which are both represented in the bands MySpace player. Kicking off with ‘Upon The Alter’, Overoth’s present a cryptic-doom laden sound with creeping evil guitars, brawling vocals and an all-consuming aggression. Against a back drop of impending doom, Andy Ennis’ vocals bellow forth with a crisp, convincing sound needed to carry death metal and brand its mark upon the listener. ‘I Am Evil, I Am All’ (killer name) again shows the quality of the band’s debut album with dense wall of rhythm heavy sounds, while ‘Death Personified’ comes spiralling out with a renegade twirling nightmare feel. ‘Suffering of the Detained’ and ‘Oath of the Flesh’ again deliver a faster, sharper sound than that seen on the Kingdom of Shadows tracks on offer, but you’d miss the apocalyptic backdrop the band apparently mastered in the three years between both releases….uhm, release.

Do we know what we’re talking about? Who cares – Tickets There is back and we love metal! Check out Overoth’s MySpace player @ http://www.myspace.com/overoth

Dear ‘Entombed’ – What the Hell?

Posted in General Tickets There Blog, Music with tags , , on February 10, 2012 by Tickets There

Last night myself and the mad Brazilian were finishing up our third pints and couldn’t decide if we’d go for another. Being broke, Thursday, drinking weekend ahead of us..etc, we weren’t sure it was the best idea, as 4 generally leads to 8 and 8 leads to vodka and Jag back at the house. The taste was there though and we decided to pick a random track from Entombed (one of the heaviest bands on the planet) and agreed that if the accompanying video ( I For An Eye) was in anyway brutal, we would get another. Well ,….FFS, did we pick the worst metal video of all time? I believe we came close. No brutality, no nothing that in any way helped us convince each other than fate has said ‘YES LADS, get yourselves another pint of that lovely Czech stuff you’re drinking’.

Entombed, by the name alone that video should have had something brutal in it, as should all your videos. Next time ye have kids flying around on bikes, try to gore it up a little and pay some heed to your thirsty fans and well-wishers who want nothing more than to say, ‘Thank-you Entombed for helping me get drunk’. Next time I’m asking Motörhead.

1,000,000 Black Sabbath Fans Can’t Be Wrong!

Posted in Music, News with tags , , , , , , , , , on February 9, 2012 by Tickets There


Black Sabbath fans around the world are currently reeling at the news that founding member; Bill Ward has dropped out of the band’s forthcoming reunion. In a public letter posted on his Facebook page, Bill announced that he could not, in good faith, continue with the current recording/touring plans until he was presented with a ‘signable contract’ that showed him some level of respect for his contribution to the band.

Since making the announcement, rumours have been rife  that ‘certain wife’s’ are behind Bill not getting his well-earned 25% cut but this morning, candidate No.1 Sharon Osbourne came out publicly and denied she had any involvement. To make things worse, the remaining members of Black Sabbath have publicly announced they will continue with their plans with or without Ward and are currently recording in England.

Last year the original line-up of Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler announced they were reforming to record a new album and play live again. Even news that Tony Iommi was seriously ill didn’t seem to throw their plans into doubt but the fracturing caused by this latest split may be enough to undermine the entire comeback.  

To show their disapproval, some fans have set up a Facebook page called ‘1,000,000 Black Sabbath Fans Say Yes to Bill Ward’ that currently has over 28,000 members and is growing by an estimated rate of five new members per second. The aim of the page is to stand united against Geezer, Ozzy and Tony until they come to their senses and treat Bill with the respect he has earned and give him back his rightful place as one quarter of the band we all love so much. A Black Sabbath reunion wouldn’t be a reunion without Tony, Geezer or Ozzy and it certainly isn’t a reunion without Bill and that is what people have signed up for. Bring Back Bill – Join the campaign now.

Dublin Metal Events: Upcoming 2012 Shows

Posted in Gig Listing, Music, News with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on February 9, 2012 by Tickets There

Dublin Metal Events have been busy as hell this year with 13 shows book between now and April, and they ain’t finish yet. The savagely cruel head honcho ‘H’ has promised a pretty tasty announcement for tomorrow after an earlier promise led to the announcement that W.A.S.P. will be returning to Dublin as part of their 30th anniversary tour.

Before that, there’s several other acts that will please all the hairy  leather ‘n’ denim brigade out there.  Few notes added to the ones Tickets There recommends if you’re looking to try something new. All dates available on the D.M.E. Events Page on Facebook.

Alestorm – 12/02/12 – The Pint
Krisiun + Malevolent Creation + Vital Remains – 14/02/12 – The Pint

Stand Up And Shout – A Ronnie James Dio Tribute – 10/03/12 – Button Factory

  • Tribute night to the late great Ronnie James \,,/DIO\,,/. Seattle’s premier DIO tribute band will come and do their best at reminding you why we all miss the little fella so much. The disappointment from Heaven & Hell’s Iron Maiden support still runs deep; maybe this will go a little towards reconciliation. RIPDIO

Amon Amarth – 15/03/12 – Vicar St

  • Perhaps the only time it is ok for Vikings to return to Ireland. Amon Amarth will be bringing their Swedish rage to Vicar Street with DME promising us their full stage show is coming along for the rise. Heyyy hoooo – Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

Suffocation – 16/03/12 – The Pint

 Exhumed – 21/03/12 – The Pint

  • You take a little Death metal, a sprinkling of hardcore, some more death metal and the beatings of a thousand soldiers and you’ve got Exhumed. Now, despite some fans objections to the band becoming a lot more radio friendly and being play listed on a lot of morning and drive time shows, Tickets There thinks these guys do still credit their roots. Just because Ray Darcy likes them doesn’t mean you don’t have to!…..Tickets There will not be attending this show in case Matt Harvey tears TT’s head off.

April – Dec 2012


Obscura – 02/04/11 – The Pint
Absu + Impiety – 11/04/12 – The Pint
Orange Goblin – 20/04/12 – The Pint

  • You’ve got to ask yourself, ‘what else would ya be doing?’ Organge Goblin in town and you’re sitting at home with a tin, jacking off to Cristina Scabbia? Dude, get out of the house more and rock out to Rage of Angels, Blue Snow and  The Ballad of Solomon Eagle!!

Mael Mordha & Darkest Era – 27/04/12 – The Pint
W.A.S.P. – 25/09/12 – Vicar St

  • Tickets There we stupid enough to wait until 2010 to really get into the W.A.S.P. buzz but their show at The Academy was enough to seal us in as life time fans. The news that they’re coming back deserves a little post all of it’s own…..which it has….right …. HERE
