Greetings travellers, and welcome to the latest gossip from Claim The Throne.
2009 was a successful year for the band, with the release of the ALETALES CD/DVD, our first video clip, and our first interstate show. 2010 promises to be just as eventful?
It is with pride that we can officially announce drummer Ashley Large (Oscarius ? known for going completely oscar) as a permanent addition to Claim The Throne. Acknowledged for his tremendous work in Dyscord and Mochief, Oscarius provides Claim The Throne with a tight and extreme style of drumming that can take the band to the next level. We met Oscarius late one night in a bar fight where he tore the leg off an oaken table and battered every fiend who dared cross his path. A remorseless warrior who fears not!
The next Perth battles happen in May, details will be announced soon, but here are the dates;
Saturday 1st May
Rosemount Hotel, North Perth
Friday 28th May
Amplifier Bar, Perth
Claim The Throne will be pillaging Adelaide again in May, teaming up with the mighty ones of Double Dragon, Truth Corroded and more of Adelaide?s finest acts. We are stoked to be getting back there so soon and cant wait to rejoin the brave warriors of the souths for another triumphant victory.
Saturday 22nd May 2010

North Tce, Adelaide
Double Dragon, Truth Corroded, Claim The Throne, Se Bon Kira, Skintilla

We are extremely thrilled to be joining Scotland?s ALESTORM on the ?Plunder Down Under? Tour! We hope to be having beer funnels with many of you around the country and look forward to pillaging places we are yet to visit.
Thursday 17th June ? Amplifier Bar, Perth
Friday 18th June ? The Gaelic Theatre, Sydney
Saturday 19th June ? The Corner Hotel Melbourne
Sunday 20th June ? Rosies, Brisbane
And with that, the ALETALES era is coming to an end - we will be going into Bergerk Studios with Al Smith in June to record the next full-length album. The new songs are a mixture of stylings from both of our releases, fusing the folk-metal stylings of ALETALES with blackened melodic death. We are very excited with how the new tracks are sounding, and cant wait to get them released. The writing of the second book has also begun, but it is undecided whether this will be released with the album or later down the track.
The ALETALES CD/DVD is still available through ourselves and Prime Cuts, reviews can be found at the following pages;
