ETERNAL LORD
Formed in late 2005 Eternal Lord was created by 3 ex members of The Hunt For Ida Wave (TDON Records) and ex Burning Skies (Life Force Records) drummer.
The band hit the studio to record a demo in 2006 for Thirty Days Of Night Records. Eternal Lord toured this E.P for the duration of the year with such bands as Abigail Williams, Job For A Cowboy and Suicide Silence.
Early 2007 the band had some slight line up changes, recruiting ex I Killed The Prom Queen (Metalblade Records) vocalist Edward Butcher and From The Carnival Of Horrors (TDON Records) bassist Nick Gardener. After recording some demo versions of there album, letting fans have a preview of what’s to come and touring the United Kingdom with All That Remains / Misery Signals and Textures the band really started to get noticed more. Playing shows UK wide and being booked for other countries such as Australia and Europe.
Eternal Lord are set to release there debut album “Blessed Be This Nightmare” this year and follow it up with some extensive touring!

HELL IS FOR HEROES
Hell is for Heroes started out in 2000 on a dark autumn night in west London. In the pubs of shepherds bush, talking about bands they love and hate, trading mutual tales of nightmare day jobs, and discovering a bond between misfits. From their earliest rehearsals, the only thing constant about the sound they made was the volume. The shows were chaotic, careless, and full of shameless passion.
Their acclaimed debut The Neon Handshake was released in early 2003 and earned unexpected critical praise from NME to The Guardian, including album of the year in Rocksound and the dubious honour of a top 20 UK chart place.
“equal parts fury and celebration, an emotionally-fraught rollercoaster ride, and the sound of a band searching for – and finding – its own voice.”
Kerrang, Albums of 2003.
The band returned to the studio in 2005 on their own label with seminal punk producers Pelle Henricsson & Eskil Lövström (Refused, Poison the Well). The result was an album infused with a revolutionary punch and a deeper, darker side.
“Gold-plated and with a granite core, the strongest and most glorious fuck you of the year”
Rocksound, 2005
2007 will see the release of their third and most accomplished record to date. Self-recorded and self-titled, the album is laden with warm melodies, rich sounds and stark melancholy; songs that will make memories and mend hearts.
With endless months of touring, hell is for heroes have built a community of deeply loyal followers that has enabled them to become one of the only genuine self-sufficient rock bands in the UK. Through serious injury, reckless abandon and a rejection of almost everything they ‘ought’ to do, they continue to grow and reinvent themselves with every new song and every show.

CARPATHIAN
CARPATHIAN has spent the last 18 months making a name for themselves throughout Australia, presenting to eager audiences their punishing live show through supporting the likes of Atreyu, Bleeding Through, Evergreen Terrace, Most Precious Blood, Shai Hulud, On Broken Wings, Every Time I Die, Comeback Kid, Parkway Drive and I Killed The Prom Queen. Following the success of an independently released self titled e.p. in 2005, CARPATHIAN have decided to follow in the footsteps of hardcore heavyweights Parkway Drive, I Killed The Prom Queen and Irrelevant, amongst many others, releasing their debut album with independent label Resist Records. Recorded at Soundhouse Studios in Adelaide, "NOTHING TO LOSE" finds the band defining their previous sound while incorporating brand new non-genre specific influences. This release sees the band embrace multiple musical elements to present 30 minutes of relentless and punishing breakdowns, inspiring sing-alongs and lyrics that speak to a scene who are quickly growing tired of metaphors and insincerity. “NOTHING TO LOSE” proves to provide an accurate soundtrack to the energy and buzzes of Australian hardcore in 2006 and shows us CARPATHIAN are ready to put their own stamp on the world of heavy music.
