Beyond Terror Beyond Grace support Grave Thursday
Blue Mountains grindcore band Beyond Terror Beyond Grace support the almighty Grave this Thursday night at The Gaelic Club (or The Gaelic Theatre as they like to refer themselves as now). Sydney death metallers Shackles are also supporting. Terrorust have pulled out of the gig and the national support slot with rumours circling that the band has disbanded.
Grave are one of the few death metal bands I can bring my disillusioned, cynical self to respect these days. These guys absolutely crushing old school Swedish death metal. If they are half as good as Dismember were a few years back then this gig will be well worth your while to head down.
Beyond Terror Beyond Grace - 8:30pm
Shackles - 9:30pm
Grave - 10:45pm
Beyond Terror Beyond Grace - Answers and Control
Grave - Soulless

This is being promoted as the most "EXXXTREME tour of the year", so put your best Cannibal Corpse t-shirt on and get ready for sweep picking, hammer blasts and death growls a plenty. It should be SLAMMIN!
If you want a ticket I'd get in quick because I think this one should be selling out pretty fast. And remember kids, smiling in band photos is not cool. You need to exert an aura of grim seriousness. And non-black clothing? What are you, some nerdy kid who doesnt realise brutality is cool? Or is it the nerdy kids who do think br00dude-ality is cool these days...... I forget.

Carcass Australian Tour – October 2008
Unquestionably one of the most important , influential & well favoured metal bands of our time, CARCASS have reformed in 2008 to perform at several prestigious metal festivals throughout Europe. Soundworks Touring is incredibly excited & honoured to announce that CARCASS will be performing in Australia to "Reek" havoc on our Carcass starved souls for the first time in 15 years!
Along with originators Napalm Death, Carcass pioneered the heavy metal subgenre of grindcore, a style that in its purest form consisted of extremely short, chaotic blasts of guitar/bass/drums noise overlaid with guttural, bleeding-throat vocals. Carcass eventually shifted towards more traditional song structures, and then into a more accessible yet still highly intense thrash/grindcore hybrid. Where Napalm Death concerned itself with social protest in its often barely comprehensible lyrics, Carcass' early vocabulary was taken straight from medical textbooks and glossaries, achieving a bizarrely humorous gore factor most metal bands could only dream of.
Carcass was initially formed in 1985 in Liverpool by guitarist Bill Steer, drummer Ken Owen, and an Indian vocalist known only as Sanjiv. Steer eventually joined Napalm Death, where he met medical student and Electro Hippies bassist Jeff Walker; Walker was added to Carcass' lineup in 1987 as both bassist and lead vocalist. Unable to pursue both musical projects at once, Steer left Napalm Death to concentrate on his original band. Carcass made its recorded debut in 1988 with the album Reek of Putrefaction, which made a strong impression in the metal underground with its astoundingly graphic artwork and lyrics, as well as the band's brutal musical attack. 1989's Symphonies of Sickness only upped the ante, throwing in enough multisyllabic medical jargon to lend an air of black humor to the band's tone. For 1991's Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious, Carcass added ex-Carnage guitarist Michael Amott, but it was apparent that the band was beginning to dig itself into a rut. After taking some time off, a reinvented Carcass returned in 1994 with Heartwork, a still crushing yet surprisingly accessible offering that introduced elements of melody and songcraft while toning down the cartoonish gore.
These exclusive shows will be your only chance to witness & digest in your own backyard, the complete symphonies of sickness collection from one of extreme metals true legends. With this announcement, Soundworks Touring anticipates these shows to sell out in a smash 'n' grab frenzy, so be sure to secure the meatiest, the heaviest & the most important metal ticket in Australia this year.

Psycroptic sign to Nuclear Blast Records!
Huge news: the astoundingly technical Tasmanian death metallers Psycroptic have been signed to Nuclear Blast Records! This is great news for the band and all of their fans, and we all congratulate the guys for breaking through to this level - the level of sheer dedication and professionalism that Psycroptic have shown over the years is downright impressive.
Psycroptic are currently on a 'Summer Slaughter' tour with an amazing roster of bands; The Black Dahlia Murder, Kataklysm, Vader, Cryptopsy, The Faceless, Despised Icon and Aborted!
Here's the press release:
Psycroptic & Soundworks Management are proud to announce that as of Friday June 20th 2008 Tasmania's own Psycroptic are officially signed to Nuclear Blast Records worldwide and Stomp for Australia for the new full length album due out this October!!!!
The band is ecstatic about this signing and the possibilities it is about to bring... let the brutality begin!
Nuclear Blast have signed the Tasmanian Technical Death Metal band PSYCROPTIC. US A&R Gerardo Martinez about the signing: "We are beyond excited to be working with one of the BEST Technical Death Metal bands in the world right now. We feel the band will reach the status they deserve in a short period of time. Also the band is euphoric about the cooperation.
Currently on tour in the USA as part of the massive Summer Slaughter package, the band themselves had this to say:
"To say that all of us in Psycroptic are excited to be working with Nuclear Blast is quite an understatement .. we're over the moon!!!! Nuclear Blast has always been the pinnacle of labels within the metal realm, and to be signed with them is a huge honor for us...and to be the first Tasmanian band to ever be on the label is a pretty awesome bonus as well. The artist roster is nothing short of amazing, and for Psycroptic to be added to it...well, we couldn't be happier!!" – Dave Haley (Psycroptic)

Founded 1988 in Stockholm/Sweden, Dismember were among those responsible for Death Metal's big break through.
The Classic Debut album, "Like An Ever Flowing Stream" from 1991, has resulted in their rise to ' CULT ' status. After 20 Years of Unrelentless live performances and more classic album releases, Dismember is now back with their most crushing album to date!
The self titled Album "Dismember" is out now through Riot / Regain
One of the finest Swedish bands ever formed. Dismember have lost nothing in terms of intensity over the years . The sheer pace and passion of the songs are blistering and the vocal sounds are as pissed off as ever. Powerful riffs that are not in short demand, plenty of lead works and memorable melodic harmonies are what the metal scene needed and Dismember have them in Huge Spades.
Stockholm's Death Metal Gods are back to their glory days..... back to the early 90's.
