Already joining forces are Mordrake from Bristol, Byrde from Norway, A Night In The Snow from Ireland and more bands still to be announced. “In the set-list for this tour we’re going to try a whole bunch of different things. 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. Having their tour van stolen in Denmark, equipment stolen in Poland, and guitar gone missing from an aeroplane in Finland are all challenges the band has faced throughout their touring cycles and have managed to overcome. Shows are always the main priority! “We are excited to be able to return to London, Essex and Leicester, places we visited last time around. And to be able to cover 3 countries in one tour leg is amazing!” - Markus, Cretura - 25.09.2018 - The Unicorn, Camden, London - 27.09.2018 - The Basement, Essex. - 28.09.2018 - Firebug, Leicester. - 29.09.2018 - The Gryphon Real Ale and Metal pub, Bristol. - 30.09.2018 - Ivory Blacks, Glasgow, Scotland. - 01.10.2018 - The Wharf Chamber, Leeds. - 03.10.2018 - The Black Box, Belfast, Ireland - 04.10.2018 - Fibber Magees, Dublin, Ireland www.facebook.com/Cretura cretura.wixsite.com/creturaofficial

 Swiss Dark Metal monsters Xaon continue their exceptional 2018 with their first headlining UK tour in October. 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. UK Fall Tour 2018: Oct 24 | The Black Heart | London, UK Oct 25 | The Fenton | Leeds, UK Oct 26 | B2 Venue | Norwich, UK Oct 27 | The Hairy Dog | Derby, UK Oct 28 | Aatma | Manchester, UK Oct 29 | Ivory Blacks | Glasgow, UK  Xaon’s latest release takes the band’s sound to a new sonic level, progressing from spectral ambiances to grandiose and intricate orchestrations. The album evolves from oppressing aggressiveness to majestic lamentations and due to it’s very nature, it is soberly entitled The Drift and presents the band at their electrifying best.

It will be one of the last tours High Fighter are going to play this year and before they will release their second full length album in early 2019.

Add a heavy dose of the blues and these deadly schizophrenic vocals and High Fighter offer something new to the Sludge, Stoner, Doom & Metal Scene. After their critically acclaimed debut EP 'The Goat Ritual' released end of 2014, followed by numerous shows all over Europe, including festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze, Desertfest Berlin & Antwerp, Sonic Blast, Up In Smoke and many more, as well as several gigs with bands alike Ahab, Conan, Crowbar, Mantar, Corrosion of Conformity, Elder, Downfall of Gaia, Mammoth Storm, Brant Bjork, The Midnight Ghost Train and Earth Ship to name just a few, High Fighter released their first full length album 'Scars & Crosses' in June 2016 with Svart Records.

We toured with De Profundis (and Onslaught) last time around and we became good friends with all of them. 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.
