Absolva announce 34 tour dates including 7 with Michael Schenker

ABSOLVA ANNOUNCE 34 DATE EUROPEAN TOUR INCLUDING 7 SHOWS AS SPECIAL GUESTS WITH MICHAEL SCHENKER FEST


Absolva, the Manchester-based British metal band featuring current members of Iced Earth and the Blaze Bayley band, announce their 2018 tour schedule including 7 shows appearing as special guests with legendary Scorpions and UFO guitarist Michael Schenker.


The Absolva band members have a history of extensive touring since forming in 2012, and relish once again an extended trip around Europe. Being chosen as special guests on the Michael Schenker Fest also gives the band the opportunity to warm the crowd for renowned vocalists Graham Bonnet, Doogie White, Gary Barden and Robin McAuley.


The tour begins in Sweden with an Absolva headline show in Varberg on 4th October, whilst the sequence with Michael Schenker starts in Malaga (Spain) on 27th October. The tour finale is an Absolva headline show at hometown Manchester, Academy 3 on 22nd December.


Says singer/guitarist Chris Appleton “For me it's a real honour and a pleasure to be reunited with guitar legend Michael Schenker who has always been a massive influence on my guitar playing and my career. We toured with him on previous occasions both as Absolva and also previously as Fury UK, which was a great experience, and we are very happy and proud to have gained many loyal fans at those shows”


The line-up on the European tour will be Chris Appleton (lead vocals / lead guitar), Luke Appleton (rhythm guitar / backing vocals), Martin Mcnee (drums), Karl Schramm (bass / backing vocals).

Wolfsbane / Spunk Volcano and the Eruptions Announce UK Tour 2018

PAST THE FALL RELEASE DETAILS ABOUT THEIR UPCOMING TOUR AND NEW ARTWORK (Updated)

Metal trio PAST THE FALL have released details regarding their upcoming tour of the UK.  The ‘Trial by Fire UK and Europe Tour’ will visit the England, Scotland, Wales and Belgium, bringing their infectious grove metal sounds to their passionate fans. The artwork for the tour has been created by Costin Chioreanu at Twilight 13 media, who also produces artwork for GRAVE and ARCH ENEMY.  Will Wright (vocals/bass) said:

"We chose Costin at Twilight 13 media again as we’d worked together on the EP artwork a while back and he has an incredible talent and style for realising perfectly our visual ideas for the band. I first found him through art he’d done for roadburn festival and grave, and after reading his statement/ethos behind his work I was hooked! We’ll be playing a lot of the EP’s tracks on this tour over the coming months so having that stylistic continuity made a lot of sense"

In 2013 the band released their debut EP ‘BEGGARS AT THE LIARS BANQUET’ which was mastered by Andy ‘Hippy’ Baldwin (Faith no more, The Who, Tesseract) at Metropolis Mastering in London. The EP received initial rave reviews and with the artwork concept also being created by Costin Chioreanu, the band have shown straight away their desire to offer their fans the best material both musically and visually.

The band will be busy recording new material to be released in 2015, Will said:

"We’ll also be beginning work on our debut album following the Trial by fire tour, and in the shows and videos that will follow its hugely important for us to have visuals that reflect the concepts in us and the music!’"

Tour dates are:

16.8.14 Sheffield @ The Dove and Rainbow
22.8.14 Doncaster @ The Vintage Rock bar
29.8.14 Selby @ The Riverside
31.8.14 Edinburgh @ Bannerman’s Bar
3.9.14 Glasgow @ The Old Hairdressers
12.9.14 Belgium @ B52 Bar
13.9.14 Swansea @ Crowley’s Rock Bar
4.10.14 Crawley @ DBM Fest (The Black Dog)

Eureka Machines announce new album details and tour!

Those poptastic rascals, The Eureka Machines have announced details of their new album and tour dates. So here in their own words are those details:
Well, it's about time we told you our plans for the rest of the year. We're putting out our new album, which we call Champion The Underdog, on May 2nd. It will be out through Wrath Records again, and it is the best thing that any of us have ever done. It will be preceded by a new single, another snappily monikered tune called (I'm) Wasting My Time (Yet Again). You may recognise it from the gigs as The One With The Uptown Girl Bit. We're filming a video for it at the moment and it's suitably amusing.

The tracklisting for the record is thus:

Champion The Underdog
These Are The People Who Live In My House
(I'm) Wasting My Time (Yet Again)
Magnets
Godot's Arrived
Professional Crastinator
Everything's Fine
The Best Night Of My Life
Beginning Of The End Of The World
Zero Hero
A Ballad To Finish

It was produced by Jase Edwards and Chris Catalyst and made across about six different studios at various times across the land. The cover artwork was shot by evil genius Tom Martin. Please, if it's the last thing you ever do for us, tell your friends, get people excited, spread the word, it would be a terrible shame if the past eighteen months of our hard labour was to disappear unnoticed.

We're doing some gigs so you can come and see us and maybe buy it and all that. Of course, it'll be available online before that, so keep checking back. The dates confirmed so far are:
