DEF LEPPARD SLANG RE-ISSUE OUT TODAY

Posted in Music, News with tags , , , , , , on February 11, 2014 by Tickets There

album-coverThe moment is here folks. Def Leppard have officially released the re-mastered version of Slang which joins previous re-masters Hysteria, Pyromania and Adrenalize. The release features the original tracks which have been spruced up making them louder and prouder than ever before, as well as several demos tracks, B-sides and treats for any Leppard fan.

Slang registers highly on the Leppard intrigue list. It was the album that alienated the older fan base and embraced change which was prevalent in the music world at the time. While some bands ran for cover, Leppard boldly faced the post-grunge world with a bold statement album that saw their image, sound and direction completely shift. Critics applauded it and over time the album picked up many loyal followers.

So, now many years have passed and the time has come to re-visit Slang and see how it’s held up all these years. It’s out now on iTunes, Spotify and the usual physical sites.

IMG_5558By Saturday all of us or going to be well sick of all this Valentine’s day nonsense. The flowers, the love, the pure and utter sh*te of it all (my comments have nothing to do with the fact that I’m recently single…). Anyways, to celebrate that day ending, CARNAGE have a pretty tasty line-up in Fibbers on Saturday the 15th.

For Ruin, Overoth & Rex Shachath are all playing upstairs in Fibbers under the carnage banner. It’s just €5 on the door which is a pretty amazing price for these three bands and don’t go forgetting the many drink promos that always come with Carnage. See you there!

Viking Funeral / Skyclad Dublin Show Cancelled

Posted in Music, News with tags , , , on February 10, 2014 by Tickets There

viking

Sad news for fans as DME have announced Martin Walkyier’s Dublin show, which was due to take place on the 21st of this month, has been cancelled. Please find the statement below,

Due to a complete lack of organisation from the tour ‘organisers’, the Viking Funeral / Skyclad show on February 21st has now been cancelled. Apologies for any inconvenience caused but this is 100% out of DME’s control. We did everything we could to retain the show including accepting their postponement last year but they have now fully cancelled due to their failure to properly organise logistics around coming to Ireland. Refund info will be posted shortly.

Tickets There was a bit late to outline the full Molten Battle of the Bands this year, but we’re not too late to get you in on the action for… Heat 7 (yeah, it’s silly big and complicated). Anyway €5 will get you a handy chance to catch Psykosis, Killface, Rex Shachath and Aggro-Culture battle it out for a chance to progress to the final round with an overall goal of playing this year’s Bloodstock where they’ll rub shoulders with the likes of Megadeth, Emperor, Amon Amarth and many more.
For those not to au fait with the local scene then this is your cheap chance to get down to Fibber MaGee’s and support your own. Believe me, it’s not a chore. Some of these guys can share a stage with the best of them and the others are getting there. So break with a fiver, come to Fibbers and enjoy.

Snowblind to release debut ep, ‘Existence Is Futile’ next week

Posted in Gig Listing, Music with tags , , on February 8, 2014 by Tickets There

1654275_616973805035946_1268267570_nDublin metal trio, Snowblind are set to release their debut E.P. on Valentines day. Before you going thinking lovey dovey shloopy gak, remember this is metal .. and it’s taking place at the most unromantic* club night in Dublin – CLUB CARANGE! The dark, metal filled dungeons of Fibbers will make the perfect setting for Existence Is Futile to make it’s mark.

*Unromantic should not be taken as a slur against Carnage. While not for the shoulder sweaters and wistful smiles, it is always hard chocked with gorgeous delights from the female metal community and of course, massive hairy (but polite, pleasant and funny) lads.

Gorgoroth + Vital Remains Announce Dublin show

Posted in Gig Listing, Music with tags , , , , , , on February 7, 2014 by Tickets There

1653516_595639173838152_545125823_nNow we’re talking. First Overkill, then Amon Amarth and now GORGOROTH are a coming. DME have confirmed the Norwegian band will play The Voodoo Lounge on April 4th and they’re bringing US band VITAL REMAINS with them. Ticket’s will set you back €25 and guests will be announced closer to the date. In the meantime, here’s a little something I stole about Gorgoroth from DME’s website.

After making a pact with the Devil in 1992, Infernus founded Gorgoroth, an early Norwegian black metal band. Gorgoroth has released albums on labels such as Nuclear Blast, Century Media, Season of Mist, Malicious Records and Regain Records, and has toured extensively abroad. The line-up has been subject to several changes, with Infernus being the only remaining original member. After Gorgoroth’s controversial gig in Poland in February 2004, massive media attention led to an increase in both notoriety and record sales for the already infamous band. The band’s latest album, “Under the Sign of Hell 2011″, was released in late 2011. Infernus and drummer Tomas Asklund are currently at work on the next studio album “Instinctus Bestialis”, to be released by a yet-to-be-determined label.

AmonAmarth-DeceiverOfTheGodsViking metal returns to Dublin this summer as the epic Amon Amarth are returning to the Limelight and Academy as part of their Deceiver of the Gods tour. Now I’ve never seen these guys live and I’ve kicked myself every time I’ve passed on the chance to go. Expect Tickets There making an appearance in Dublin at least.

The shows take place in August 12th (Belfast) and 13th (Dublin) and tickets go on sale today from Ticketmaster priced £27.5 and €30 respectively. Actually respectively nothing – Vikings! Never thought Ireland would be so welcome to repeated returns by these horned lunatics!

578689_10152108273158200_2075649842_nLooking back on 2013 as we begin the new year, I cannot move Tickets There on without recognising one of the true highlights of live music I’ve ever been fortunate to witness. On the 12th day of winter – International day of heavy metal, December 12th 2013 – BLACK SABBATH finally brought their reunion tour to Irish shores.

Sabbath proved themselves as a powerful live force and their performance was beyond reproach. They blew out classic after classic with songs from last year’s 13 blending in seamlessly, almost like they have always been there. An excellent night enjoyed by everyone.
