Guests: TBA About this Event THIS SHOW IS STRICTLY 18+ 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) from Atomkraft, 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). 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

would bring many more revered releases by the band, such as ‘Long
Live the Loud’ (1985), and ‘Unveiling the Wicked' (1986), to name

Manowar, Motörhead and Megadeth. It is with much anticipation, that
