Our rehearsal plan is booked throughout august and September so that we can prepare everything and be at our best..even better than before!” - Sárá, Cretura Cretura has ben on and off tour for the past 2 years after releasing their debut album “Fall Of The Seventh Golden Star”. The album made good reviews internationally and enabled the band to do tv appearances, tours and festivals. Last festival was the Metalhead Meeting with Behemoth and Cradle Of Filth.

The band are set to play 6 hard and heavy shows stretching from the heart of England all the way up to Glasgow in Scotland for their final date. For these dates, the band will play in relatively small club-like venues so this will be a great chance to get up close and personal with a superb live act.

With the current line-up of the band it made the most sense to call upon our friends Shoi and Arran to fill in the empty bass and lead guitar spots, they are both stellar musicians and with their experience you know that Demonic Resurrection is going to deliver the goods. We look forward to seeing all our fans at the shows." More information on this can be found on the official Demonic Resurrection page HERE.
