Click on image above to go to the events page
Click on band or DJ links below for info:
It is with a great deal of sadness that to 'progess' London's dwindling housing stock that the legendary Ruskin Arms is to close for good. The Ruskin became famous as the 'home' of the fledgling Iron Maiden and has even given a stage to countless bands and even the mighty Status Quo.
To make sure this classic venue gets the send off it deserves, Clive Aid have been asked to organise their last ever gigs. Clear your diaries for Friday and Saturday 14/15th November 2008.
The line up is shaping up nicely and will contain some of the greatest British NWOBHM bands to have lived with the addition of some very cool new bands.
The show will mark the end of an era, be there!
Rock Matrix will be doing a stall at the event.

METAL BLADE NEWS
CANNIBAL CORPSE announces title of new studio album and reveals track listing!

Click on band links below for info:
Tampa, Florida's godfathers of death metal, CANNIBAL CORPSE have dubbed 'Evisceration Plague' as the title to the group's brand new studio album due out on January, 30 (D/A/CH/I), February, 2 (rest of Europe). 'Evisceration Plague' marks the follow up to the bands extremely successful 2006 release KILL (debuted at #170 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart), which has become the fastest selling Cannibal album in the band's storied career as well as highest selling album since 1996's Vile (debuted at #151 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart). To capture the speed, ferocity, and musicianship that CANNIBAL CORPSE has become known for the band decided to head back Mana Recording Studios with producer Erik Rutan (who also produced KILL) at the helm. Bassist Alex Webster comments, "In Cannibal Corpse our goal has always been to try and make each new album we record our heaviest. That goal was a bit more challenging this time since we were extremely satisfied with our last album KILL, but we knew that by working with producer Erik Rutan at Mana Recording Studios again, we would be able to start at that same level of heaviness and take it even further. Now that we can hear the finished product, I would say we've been able to achieve this goal, and I think our fans will agree. 'Evisceration Plague' has the best guitar sound we've ever recorded, and the entire band has never played with more precision and power. We can't wait until you all get a chance to hear the album in early 2009, because we think you'll be as happy with it as we are." Keep an eye on the CANNIBAL CORPSE MySpace page for more updates on the upcoming album 'Evisceration Plague', a new track, and upcoming tour dates. 'Evisceration Plague' track listing:
1. Priests of Sodom 2. Scalding Hail 3. To Decompose 4. A Cauldron of Hate 5. Beheading and Burning 6. Evidence in the Furnace 7. Carnivorous Swarm 8. Evisceration Plague 9. Shatter Their Bones 10. Carrion Sculpted Entity 11. Unnatural 12. Skewered From Ear to Eye
'Evisceration Plague' will be released January, 30th (D/A/CH/I), February, 2nd (rest of Europe) 2009 via Metal Blade Records.
