Our Last Enemy Album Launch Tour

The NZ dates for the "Our Last Enemy Album Launch Tour" have been amended [if they haven't been & it's been correct like this the whole time- I apologize, my sleep deprivation and terrible-ness with numbers was to blame...]

New New Zealand Dates:
 Friday 07/01/11 Medusa Bar, Wellington NZ
 Saturday 08/01/11 The Kings Arms, Auckland NZ
Any more information than this, check out: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=141310135895474&ref=nf

It's only temporary but:

Hope this swings by NZ

Darkest hour w/ Carnifex tour Oz early 2011, It's no secret that one of the prime reasons for my interest in this tour is that the Carnifex released a cover of Angel of Death, which I find a bit stirring [in my pants, but it's not gay cos it's Slayer]

This looks interesting: I say go to this.

Carthaginian W/ Cobra Kan and Leeches Nov 13th

I don't know if this is my thing [I think I remember Carthaginian as a good band to see] but the poster looks cool...

Sinate NZ tour thus far, i guess Aucks show & supports TBA

As previously reported local heroes, Sinate have [or are due to] returned from Europe, where they recorded their 3rd album.
Several NZ shows have been announced, but I don't know how long they'll be staying in NZ on the 3rd album- when logic [& checking out what other bands do] dictates a mammoth effort of touring [globally] to promote them & the new album.

NZ COME AND GET FUCKED UP TOUR 2010.
Nov 18 Cabana Napier.
Nov 19 Altitutde Hamilton.
Nov 26 Breakers Wanganui.
Nov 28 SFBH Wellington.
Dec 2 Phat Club Nelson.
Dec 4 Chicks Hotel (ALL AGES).
Dec 5 Zebedees CHCH (ALL AGES).
Dec 10 The Red Eye Bar Whangarei.

Another Halloween eve gig,

As previously posted, there's more than one metal gig happening on Helloween eve i.e Saturday 30th October . Now I don't know exactly what I'll be doing, but I know I'll be drinking [exactly what, remains to be seen- could be just energy drinks, not alcohol- as unlikely as it seems]


Details:
Hard Iron Entertainment NZ proudly presents:

Inferno in Parnell

It's been years since I went out to Parnell to drink myself silly, and end up getting drunk and resentful of the rich kid douche bags that swarm the place. I don't know what it's like these days, but a metal gig in the heart of ponch country would be a goer for me!

Any ways, the facebook crowd, NZ Metal Army are putting on a halloween metal gig just at the top of the rise with Wellington band Nort and a host of regulars [for the NZ Metal Army atleast] (Just One Fix, Fuelset, Burn the Scripture, the poster says it all)

I think all the bands playing have new [or recent] albums/material out, if you haven't managed to pick any up yet- they'll probably be selling them on the night.

Gig Clash

3 Hours of Hardcore is on the same night and same venue as Our Last Enemy's Album release Show.
The Kings Arms website only lists 3 Hours of Hardcore, whereas it's the Our Last Enemy facebook lists the day and venue..

3 hours of Hardcore the the Kings Arms

Our Last Enemy touring NZ

They're a Metal/ Industrial/ Gothic metal band from Sydney.

Thursday 07/10/10 San Francisco Bathhouse, Wellington, NZ

Friday 08/10/10 The Bedford, Christchurch, NZ *AA*

Saturday 09/10/10 The Kings Arms, Auckland, NZ

Band myspace bio: Our Last Enemy are the dark horses of Australia’s heavy music scene – if you haven’t heard the name yet, remember it – you’ll be hearing a lot of it very soon. A brutal live reputation for theatrically unpredictable shows has created a strong live following and unparalleled local buzz - Our Last Enemy are known for crazed audience interactions and an intensity that results in band member injuries and crowd frenzies.
Ultimately it’s the killer tracks, infusing industrial rhythms with lashings of dark metalcore rock and chunky metal riffs, that keeps the punters headbanging and coming back for more. This unique blend of extreme genres resulted in Our Last Enemy’s current EP release, ‘…Is Death’ selling out two pressings, single ‘10,000 Headless Horses’ being featured in soundtracks and compilations, and remixes becoming dark/alternative nightclub favourites.
After a big year in 09 including support slots for STATIC X, DOPE and HANZEL UND GRETYL, and decamping to LA to record the debut album with Christian Olde Wolbers (Fear Factory) 2010 is set to be even bigger with a huge tour planned for mid year. With a new lineup that includes Bizz on guitar from legendary cult Florida industrial metal band Genitortures and The Undead (ex-Misfits) and Craig on keys and samples the bands profile is raised to a truly international level.

Speaking of whoring out gigs, heres a fancy looking poster

Although 'whoring' suggests a certain renumeration, which alas is not the case here..

Your ears will still be ringing from Exodus

One of the local supports of the 1st of October Exodus Gig at the Kings Arms, Razorwyre are making the most of their time in the big city by having another gig around the corner:

Razorwyre, Rackets, Dreams of the Dead, Slavegrind, Vallum Indendium, Dakota Scream, Royal Fortune.

Hardcore show, Oct 9th, Kings Arms

Despite being a metal-head-in-the-extreme I do appreciate the odd bit of hardcore. I can't visualise the 2 stage situation, unless there's one outside. Details below, and surpirsingly enough- there's only 1 or 2 bands I haven't heard of..

The Misfits have 1 NZ show

Here's the link to buy tickets, it's January 27th 2011, at the Kings Arms, and the line up is: Jerry Only plus legendary Black Flag members Dez Cadena and ROBO. I can't say that I'm a big fan, not saying that i'm not/ or more appropriately wouldn't be- i'll just have to track down some of their music.
