Eternal Lord

Date:	Sun 31-08-08
Venue:	Basement Of Rio's - Sweeney Todds
Lineup:	» Eternal Lord » Random Conflict
Door Price:	£6.00
Doors:	7:30 PM

It’s not every day you see a death metal band emerge from a place like Swindon, England, especially not one with a name like ‘Eternal Lord’, however the band are certainly worth taking notice of. They’re starting to gain some more popularity among people who’s lives don’t revolve around MySpace, and there’s good reason for that. A label like ‘deathcore’ is one that plenty of people will avoid like the plague, with frankly pathetic outfits such as Bring Me The Horizon chug-squee’ing their way to success. Eternal Lord, however, is something quite different

Bad Manners (buster's 50th Birthday Bash Tour)

Venue:	Rios Leeds - The Venue
Lineup:	» Bad Manners » Max Splodge » The Blox
Ticket Price:	£15.00

In 1986 Bad Manners went their separate ways, but Buster Bloodvessel reformed the band with original members Louis Alphonso, Martin Stewart, Chris Kane and Winston Bazoomies in 1987. In 1989, he licensed the Blue Beat Records name and logo, and set up office in a 50ft barge in his back garden in Spring Hill, London. He closed the label in 1990, and two years later moved back to Stoke Newington. In 1995, Buster Bloodvessel moved to Margate opening a hotel on the seafront called "Fatty Towers", which catered for people with huge appetites. While living in Margate, Buster was a regular spectator at Margate F.C. sponsoring the club for one season. "Fatty Towers" closed in 1998, and Buster moved back to his native London. As of 2007, Buster Bloodvessel still performs with Bad Manners in venues all over the UK and Europe. He is the only original member left in the band, but Winston Bazoomies is an 'honorary member' of the group, meaning he can rejoin Bad Manners at any stage he wishes to. The harmonica player was last seen travelling on a bus in Marsh Hill in North London and often turns up at Bad Manners & Skaville UK concerts. He left the band in 1993.

Malefice

Date:	Mon 15-09-08
Venue:	Rios Leeds - The Venue
Lineup:	» Malefice » Waking Theo
Ticket Price:	£6.50
Doors:	7:30 PM

MALEFICE are the exception. From their crushing debut album ‘ENTITIES’ to their fierce live show, they are undoubtedly a band who can stand toe-to-toe with the big guns. Extreme yet accessible and sacrificing none of the credibility in order to sound good, you don’t need to be a chin-scratching muso in order to enjoy it. Formed in 2003, yet only really getting their act together over the last twelve months, Reading metallers Malefice have evolved into a polished, professional unit as comfortable onstage with brutal underground stalwarts like Akercocke and Gutworm as they are the more commercial, yet hard-edged, unit-shifting sounds of Sepultura and Chimaira. As much one for the kids in the oversized Slipknot t-shirts as the discerning metalhead, ‘Entities’ is a powerful and polished mixture of pit-filling groove-thrash, jaw-dropping precision, utter brutality and soaring melody.
