- STRINGS OF ARES HAS JUST INKED A DEAL WITH ARCHAIC NORTH -
Archaic North Entertainment is proud to announce the signing of Durham based uni-metal geniuses "STRINGS OF ARES". The band has a powerful line up of seasoned musicians featuring members of the now disbanded Blood of Christ. Strings of Ares is a fresh approach to the metal world taking influences from around the metal spectrum and will appeal greatly to fans of Meshuggah, Behemoth, Malevolent Creation, and Tool to name a few. Prepare yourselves for a truly crushing precision filled ride to other worldy dimensions.
Their debut album for Archaic North Entertainment entitled "Temple To Mars" is due out on Hallows Eve of 2010 and is being mixed by the legendary Neil Kernon (Cannibal Corpse/Nile/Macabre). The production is in its final stages and the results will be truly devastating.
Mark Howitt, operator of Archaic North Entertainment states "We are very proud to have such a powerful band amongst our growing roster, and we look forward to working with a band such as limitless as Strings of Ares".

ALL SUDBURY METAL SATURDAYS MOVED TO THE SERBIAN CENTRE
Due to the lack of respect and management skills recieved from The Seduction Lounge/Frood Hotel, we were forced to move and cancel several events that were originally scheduled to take place. For this reason, we have decided to move as many of the confirmed events over to The Serbian Centre (231 Bloor Street) in Sudbury instead. This venue is more of a home-base for Sudbury Metal anyway, so we feel it is a better move for everyone. We do apologize for any inconviniences this may have caused anyone, and we are hoping to rebook the bands that were cancelled at the other venue at some point. All shows happening at The Serbian Centre will take place in the bar downstairs and will be 19+ only. A small cover fee will be at the door to accomodate for the entertainment each night. Unfortunately the October 10th show is cancelled, but the first event scheduled to take place will be:
SATURDAY OCTOBER 17th 2009 - 9PM Doors, $5 Cover, 19+: STRINGS OF ARES, DEATHMARCH and WARCALL
