England, Greece, Belgium, and a few local lads

Saturday and metal chaos descends on the Mandella Hall with Full Metal Racket 2009.

Paradise Lost, Grim Reaper make up the English assault, with Greece represented by Rotting Christ and Airgead L'Amh, Thurisaz are the Belgian contenders. Local noise comes from Scald, Celtic Legacy, Sorrowfall, Sinnocence, For Ruin and Decayor.

Yep, it's an all ages mental metal day. Tickets (at an entirely reasonable £24.50 are still available from Ticketmaster or direct from www.fmr2009.com. Might even be a few at the door for the lucky ones!

And the next day the Mandella Hall gets a NWOBHM blitz from Saxon, Sweet Savage and Doro Pesch!

Sod the Easter Eggs...go for Easter Overload

Sod the Easter Eggs...go for Easter Overload. Head on up to the Rosetta on Easter Saturday, for a mini-metal fest that's packed with the sort of noise that will roll the rock away from a tomb.

Overoth, Sorrowfall, Sinnocence, Residual Effect, Ozzmium, Of One Blood, and Mental Deficiency are the bill, £6 the price. That's cheaper than scavanging the shops for discounted Easter Eggs!

Important Distortion Project News

Important announcement from James of the The Distortion Project...

"As part of our continuing involvement in the metal scene, and our dedication to both local bands and international touring bands, as well as our desire to offer bands a better type of Distortion Project show, we are pleased and proud to announce the following:

"From the Saturday 2nd of May onwards, all rocKD shows will take place in the Limelight. This will allow us to do a number of things.

"Firstly, there will be 3 bands every week, as opposed to two and there will be a new (later) door time of 5.00pm.

"There are plans afoot to knock through the Kitchen in the Limelight to create a smoking area, and a place where people may set up stalls to sell their wares - a kind of "metal-market" type thing similar to what you get at festivals. (interested parties drop me a line about this).

"There are also plans to extend the curtain where the small bar is, to make the venue smaller on less busy days, so it wont feel as if the bands are playing to nobody in a big empty hall.

"I'm particularly pleased about this upgrade, as it will now give the bands full use of the Limelight, a bigger stage and a better gig overall. The new curfew is now 9pm All bands that I have booked to play after May 2nd for a Saturday show will now be in The Limelight.

"May is the month of album launches it seems, so here is the full rundown for that month.
Saturday May 2nd. A Little Bitter + Tapasia + Arcane. **A Little Bitter Album Launch.** Doors 5pm, £5.00

Saturday May 9th. Sinocence + Residual Effect + Rebels by Nature + Trucker Diablo. **Sinocence album (re)launch** Doors 5pm, £5.00

Saturday May 16th. Pagan Altar + Grimpine Mire + 2 TBC. Doors 5pm, £8.00 Saturday May 23rd. TBC.

Saturday May 30th. Interrogate + Triggerman + No Grace Given. **Interrogate album launch** Doors 5pm, £5.00

Nu-metal and Norn Irish metal

Staind have, often, been unfairly tagged as being nu-metal wannabes. Of course, being signed by Fred Durst and having the balding adolescent sing on a live track can't have helped...

This Sunday Staind are at Belfast's Mandella Hall promoting new CD, 'The Illusion of Progress'.

“For our new album, we went into the studio with the mindset of making our heaviest record yet,” said singer Aaron Lewis, “but the record that came out, with us writing in the studio, some of it has flavors of Pink Floyd and some has flavors of straight-up blues. We didn’t use the same rigs that we use onstage, we used all vintage shit, guitars and amps, and I’m pretty psyched about it. The songs are pretty timeless in their texture, whereas typical Staind isn’t, sonic wise, necessarily timeless.”

Support on Sunday comes from Sinnocence. As a self financed act, Sinocence have managed to maintain a uniquely musical life and achieve worldwide distribution with Casket/Co-Pro Records. In the words of the blurb:

"The band have garnered popularity in the underground, as well as whipping up a frenzy on the internet. Within the last twelve months, Sinocence have undertaken successful tours of the UK & Ireland, as well as playing their debut shows on mainland Europe."

For once the blurb is right....

Tickets for Sunday's gig are £23
