Having left Australia wanting more the last time they were
here, VENOM INC are set to pack it out down under yet again! Formed
as Venom in 1979 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. And coming to
prominence towards the end of the New Wave of British heavy
metal, Venom's first two albums ‘Welcome to Hell’ (1981) and
‘Black Metal’ (1982)—are considered a major influence on thrash
metal and extreme metal in general. Venom's second album proved
influential enough that its title was used as the name of an extreme
Metal sub-genre: Black Metal. During the 80’s, Venom were THE
extreme band, releasing more classic albums such as ‘At War With
Satan’ (1984), ‘Possessed’ (1985) and countless classic, live
albums, such as the ‘Assault Live’ album series and the legendary
‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik’ (1986)Double LP and the ‘The Seventh
Date of Hell: Live At Hammersmith Odeon’ Video which helped
launch Metallica, who were the support band for Venom’s tour.
Following Cronos’ departure from the band, Tony Dolan (The
Demolition Man) fromAtomkraft, stepped in filling Cronos’ big,
red boots, most admirably. And recording four releases with Venom:
‘Prime Evil’ (1989), ‘Tear Your Soul Apart’ (1990), ‘Temples
of Ice’ (1991), ‘The Waste Lands’ (1992). Hardline are looking
forward to welcoming Venom Inc back after their highly
successfulAvé Australis Tour in 2018, and the infamously killer,
one-off Venom Inc Frankie’sappearance, just last week. Don’t miss
out on the band, full throttle, in 2020! FOR THEIR FIRST TIME IN
AUSTRALIA - EXCITER ARE HEADING DOWN UNDER!!! LONG LIVE THE LOUD!!!
Exciter are coming! Hailing from Ottawa Canada, and formed in 1978,
Australia finally gets a dose of Speed/Thrash Metal demons Exciter!
Named after the Judas Priest song, Exciter are considered to be
one of the originals of the Speed and Thrash Metal genres. In 1983
they released their first album, ‘Heavy Metal Maniac’,
on Shrapnel Records. Later that year, they signed a deal with Jon
Zazula’s Megaforce Records, which led to the 1984 release of their
second album ‘Violence and Force’. This material was toured on
bills opening for Anthrax and Mercyful Fate. History would bring
many more revered releases by the band, such as ‘Long Live the
Loud’ (1985), and ‘Unveiling the Wicked' (1986), to name just a
couple. More tours also followed, with bands like Accept, Manowar,
Motörhead and Megadeth. It is with much anticipation, that we
finally welcome Exciter to Aussie shores! Don’t miss your chance
to witness this epic double bill live in June, 2020!!!
