Hmm looking at the Metal Camp lineup... Not as sure as I was earlier now that all the big names have been confirmed.

Kalmah, Ensiferum, Immortal, Behemoth, Heidevolk, Decapitated, Nevermore, Cannibal Corpse, Hammerfall, Korpiklaani... Enough for me

So far I'm looking at Hellfest, Tuska, Metalcamp + Magic Circle, (maybe) Kaltenbach, Dong, Stonehenge aaaand Party San to wrap things up.

All reasonably small except for Hellfest and Metal Camp, very noice

How you getting from Tuska to Metalcamp? That's gonna be a very tight squeeze..

I've ended up with a spare Wacken ticket if anyone wants it - $210


Oh and I'll be at Metalcamp, Kaltenbach, Wacken and maybe Summer Breeze.

Apologies to those planning on watching CTT this weekend, but as times clash with Dyscords CD Launch at HQ we will not have a drummer and pulling out was unavoidable. Nexus are better than us anyway so go mill to them

Western Australia / CLAIM THE THRONE NEWS

« on: September 29, 2009, 03:34:59 AM »

Greetings plunderers!

For anyone who is interested, we have a few updates from the Claim The Throne hut..


September was a pretty full on month for us, and many battles were conquered. The Aletales Release party and Metalcruise were a huge success so thanks to all who shared them with us! We have also just returned from an epic quest to Adelaide where we pillaged the Against The Grain festival with fellow WA comrades Gallows For Grace. It was a triumphant trip, check out a review & photos at http://www.metalobsession.net/against-the-grain-5-adelaide-%e2%80%93-19092009 and further photos at http://www.voltagemedia.com.au/gallery.




With the splendour of September also came some sad news, that our fellow warrior and founding member Brentonious announced his departure from the band. It has been an incredible five years which has been a great experience to share, and we owe him eternal gratitude for his loyal service. We wish him all the best for the future and may his dreams be fulfilled. Here is what Brentonious had to say;

After a number of years in Claim The Throne I have decided to call it quits. While the last 6 months have been a blast I've been lacking in motivation and the band deserves a member who is committed 100%. I'm going to focus my energy into "Agony" and my new band "Mid-Apology Punch". Claim the Throne's first interstate shows will be my last. I have had some incredible times over the last few years and I'll never forget the antics that came with it. The band will continue on and I look forward to seeing what they accomplish in the future. I'm glad I can go out on a high and I hope "Aletales" is thoroughly enjoyed by the metal community.




For the time being, we will not be looking for a permanent replacement and will be working hard on the next album and book, however we do have a brave fill-in who will be playing live with us. At this stage our only upcoming Perth show is in November and will be announced soon. We are looking at some more interstate shows early next year. The new drummer can be seen below with Jim and Cabba;




We are also up for nomination in this years WAMis Song Of The Year competition in the heavy category for Set Sail On Ale. Votes can be placed at http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/index/0,21581,5019216,00.html, we raise our ales in advance for any support!

Set Sail On Ale can also be heard on the upcoming Welkin Entertainment compilation CD, Euphony Fusion 3, which will be distributed for free on the Arch Enemy/Suffocation Australian tour.

The ALETALES CD/DVD is still available from the band (myspace.com/claimthethrone), Prime Cuts Music (pcuts@bigpond.com), and 78 Records (Hay St Perth). First review of ALETALES is at http://www.metalobsession.net/claim-the-throne-aletales

Hey all thanks for being a part of this gig and thanks for behaving yourselves (we got MOST of the bond back). I think it was a huge success and sounds like everyone had a great time, so will hopefully book a few more of these in the future.

Thanks to Dyscord for creating a paddle steamer wall of death, and thanks to Gallows for shredding the fuck out of the high seas.
