MORBID ANGEL (USA) AUSTRALIAN/ NEW ZEALAND TOUR MAY/JUNE 2009 Tickets on sale from Monday January 27th (see outlets below)
To see past the secure foundations of convention and into an entirely new state of being demands the strength, conviction and true sense of purpose possessed only by a chosen few. They are the innovators, the leaders, the ones who transcend perceived limitations. MORBID ANGEL have consistently succeeded in shattering the musical, spiritual and ideological boundaries of extreme music while unquestionably retaining their core element of brutal and inspirational excellence.
The world was introduced to the furious intensity of the Tampa natives in 1989 with the release of 'Altars Of Madness?. Twenty years & seven albums on, Morbid Angel still reign supreme on every level of this genre of music we call death metal. MORBID ANGEL finally return to Australian and New Zealand after 13 years to deliver us their excellence in the extreme.

DEICIDE (USA) AUSTRALIAN/ NEW ZEALAND TOUR APRIL 2009 Tickets on sale from Monday 22nd December (see outlets below)
Known the world over as one of the founding fathers of Death Metal, Deicide stand strong to this day as one of the most influential and controversial metal bands ever. With a relentlessly brutal sound and uncompromisingly blasphemous lyrics, Deicide helped set the standards for Death Metal well over a decade ago and have maintained those standards ever since.
In March 2008 Deicide faced yet more controversy when a magazine revealed a leaked playlist of music that has been used to torture detainees, number one being the band’s ‘Fuck Your God’. Steve Asheim was quoted as saying that he was glad they could do their part for the troops and was glad Deicide were able to contribute.
Deicide have battled through numerous protests, accusations and line-up changes, and yet remained true to the music and their fans. Despite their problems though, Deicide are still triumphing as a band, with music and live performances that continue to draw in ecstatic reactions from their rabid fanbase. Deicide return to Australia in April 2009 for what could quite possibly be the final time. With a new album under their belt in “Til Death Do Us Part†Deicide continue to deliver some of the most brutal, evil & satanic death metal on this god forsaken planet.

AUSTRALIAN / NEW ZEALAND TOUR SEPTEMBER 2009
What more can be said, in this Year Of The Corpse 2009, that hasn’t already been whispered, grunted or screamed about the almighty Cannibal? They’ve smashed—nay, hammer smashed—every boundary set before them, defied every censor set upon them, and besmirched every country that would have them. After two decades of unending death metal torment, the band’s calling cards are many: the depraved lyrics, the blinding technical prowess, the dominating stage presence, the legions of dedicated fans, the million and a half albums sold. Cannibal Corpse are slashing their way back to Australia and New Zealand to skewer us as all from ear to ear in support of their new album "Evisceration Plague"!
