Parisian hardcore comes to Northern Ireland....

GIVEN that we've had some superb hardcore performances and releases in Northern Ireland of late, within a few weeks the local scene will get to see where France is in the hardcore stakes as Black Bomb A come to play Belfast.

We've seen stellar gigs from Gacy's Threads, By Any Means, and début artists Defyed so the ability to compare them with the Parisian hardcore artists on November 28th at the Voodoo.

Support will be from Nasa Assassin and By Conquest or Consent.

Black Bomb A, from the Parisian suburbs of Viroflay (is that a hardcore name or what!), have been knocking about since the mid-90s and have recorded five albums since first consigning their attack to a recording studio in 1999 with the ep Straight in the Vein.

Touring on the back of last year's Enemies of the State album the accompanying blurb to the announcement says that they sound like the "sharpened melodic edges of Faith No More meets Slayer".

With a Hellfast appearance (video below) and a UK and Ireland tour in November, Black Bomb A are Poun (vocals), Shauny D (vocals), Snake (guitar), Jacou (bass) and Hervé Coquerel (drums).
