Heading 154 miles North of London to Kingston Upon Hull, we continue our journey across the Black Map of the UK Metal scene. Hull is famous for being quite the sporting hotbed with Rugby, Football and even Ice Hockey teams creating a fine cultural heritage. Also the home of pioneering industrial band Throbbing Gristle and
For anyone who hasn’t heard them already, Sumerian Records have released a pair of the tracks from the Metal Hammer “Tribute to Avenged Sevenfold” album that appeared a couple of months back.

The first wave of the full sets from this year’s incarnation of Germany’s massive Rock AM Ring festival have started to appear online. Fortunately the event was trouble free this year following last year’s last minute cancellation due to terrorist threats that saw Avenged Sevenfold play an intimate set at a nearby small venue for
London’s Harbinger have announced a co-headlining run with A Night In Texas in August. Surprisingly, the tour dates do not include any Festival stops.

They shape up as follows; 8th Nottingham, The Maze 9th Glasgow, The Garage Attic 10th Manchester, Rebellion 11th Sheffield, Mulberry Bar
Taken from the recent Metal Hammer Magazine tribute to Avenged Sevenfold, our very own Harbinger have streamed their cover of “Burn It Down” from 2005’s “City Of Evil” for those who haven’t heard it.
