TAAKE (NOR), CAVUS (FIN) + supports Sweden 20th of May 2012

Black Metal band Taake will make one special unique performance in Stockholm, Sweden. The evening of total blasphemy is taking place at Fryshuset, Klubben on the 20th of May 2012.

The band was originally founded in Bergen, Norway in 1993 by the name Thule but change the name to Taake (meaning fog) to better represent the band.

There has been a lot of controversy around the norwegian Black Metal bands and Taake is no exception. Incarserations and very controversal live shows has made the imprint on the band. The band will not take any political agenda in their shows but are firm believers in the freedom of expression.

Supporting Taake on this night is finnish Black Metal band Cavus. Cavus is one of the new wave Black Metallers but have their roots in the underground Black Metal. Playing shows with bands like Mayhem, Gorgoroth and Behexen they are one of the most primitive and raw bands out there.

HAIL! - All Star Metal Band

HAIL! is a global touring machine composed of a tight knit brotherhood of Metal’s most highly respected contributors to the genre.

The lineup for the current Scandinavian tour features drummer Paul Bostaph (SLAYER,TESTAMENT, EXODUS, FORBIDDEN), vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH, BEYOND FEAR), bassist James Lomenzo (MEGADETH, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, WHITE LION) and newest member, guitarist Dave Linsk (OVERKILL).

The past year of touring has cemented a bona-fide worldwide presence for HAIL! and created a wonderful story of fan appreciation, good will, fun and growth. As part of our growth we have had the great fortune of sharing the stage with an amazing array of very diversified and talented players who generously supported us - musician friends that we respect and hold dear from our own position as fans.

Vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens (ex-Judas Priest, Beyond Fear, Yngwie Malmsteen) says “so much of my love for music comes from the excitement of those early years, it was something special and it will never happen again. I want to create that excitement in somebody and HAIL! has provided a unique opportunity to do that. In addition to playing songs from our own bands, we’re paying props to those bands that paved the way for all of us. These are the songs of our life and don’t forget, we’re fans too.”

HAIL! is about freedom. “A lot of times you get pigeon-holed into a place you can’t get out of but HAIL! has given us a really cool way to just have fun and jam on cool tunes for the Metal fans”, says Megadets Dave Ellefson. Ripper continues “HAIL! is the best of everything because we don’t have any pressure – we can go wherever we want, whenever we want and play whatever songs we want. We are free to do whatever we want and that relief is very liberating. Freedom is fun!”

We're THE QUIREBOYS and this is rock 'n' roll

THE QUIREBOYS formed in London around 1984. The band were successful during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with their debut album "A Bit of What You Fancy" reaching #2 on the UK charts.

With a sound that harks back to the '70s heyday of The Faces, The Rolling Stones, Slade and Mott The Hoople, The Quireboys have always remained true to their roots from the start. Their mission remains the same too, namely to keep the spirit of good time rock 'n' roll alive and kicking into the 21st century.

Primary songwriters, Spike and Guy Griffin still remain steadfast in their belief that the world still needs a healthy dose of good time rock 'n' roll every now and again. Along with Keith Weir, Paul Guerin and Matt Goom the boys remain one of the best live acts on the road today. So, when you hear the words, "We're THE QUIREBOYS and this is rock 'n' roll," you know you're in for a damn good night!!

Quireboys will be supported by finnish rockers Baton Rogue Morgue.
