ONSLAUGHT joins forces with Proximity Productions- Management! Legendary British Thrashers from the peak 80’s, ONSLAUGHT has now officially joined forces with Proximity Productions- Management for the Asian- Australian region. Onslaught‘s guitarist Nige Rockett comments: “We’ve been to Asia several times in recent years and it’s clearly an expanding market where Metal music is very much on the rise. It would be awesome to increase the ‘Onslaught‘ profile in the region and i think working with ‘Proximity Productions’ will definitely give us a huge advantage. We’ve been in discussion with the company for some months now and their vision for the band is very cool, the vibes are extremely positive and we look forward to this new challenge with Harsha and his team.“ On signing up with Onslaught, the owner of PP adds, “It is indeed an honour and a privilege to work with such big names from the classic era. One of those bands that remain true to it’s form even to this day and age. I...

MAMMOTHFEST GETS BOLD and ANNOUNCES STAGE LINE UPS with YET MORE BANDS! MAMMOTHFEST have managed to bring back an exceptional band ONCE A WOLF from the dead along with the additions of SEETHING AKIRA, METAPRISM, LAST DAYS OF ROME and INEO to the main event in 2015. As well as the mighty ONSLAUGHT we are proud to welcome LAST DAYS OF ROME to the event. With obliterating Meshuggah style riffs, off kilt time signatures and poly rhythms there is no better way to start MAMMOTHFEST 2015 than by fucking with your heads: INEO are a 4 piece instrumental band with a strong likeness to Animals as Leaders but with their own unique styles that recently kept new fans locked in with blistering performances on their recent MAMMOTHFEST South coast tour. Arriving early is recommended to see them and all the other bands and cement your place in this small (destined to be sold out soon) up close and personal show with FEED THE RHINO who are also confirmed for Reading and Leeds festival MAI...

MAMMOTHFEST TV - The Mammothfest team have been working round the clock to deliver new ways of promoting the metal bands that come through their doors, and you know what, there is no better way than in a monthly 30 minute TV show! With music and video reviews, interviews, ONSLAUGHTS , "THIS IS THE SOUND OF VIOLENCE VIDEO" and live performance from Brighton thrash legends KING LEVIATHAN and more, there is no doubt about the potential of this project and for a very first ever TV show the results are simply staggering! The Mammothfest team urge every one to watch this and share the link to spread the word. Watch the Carnage here:  Stephen Dickson, the Mammothfest director commented : “We are having to be so creative about how we promote our brand, events and bands and with the demise of the young ones and a lack of any regular decent metal performances on Jools holland or any other TV shows we thought we would step up and make it happen. Not just that, we are ...

Mammothfest has been hard at work putting together a 30 date national tour to seek out 20 of the best underground acts to be selected to complete the 80+ band line up at MAMMOTHFEST 2015 between Friday 2nd - Sunday 4th October 2015. The MAMMOTHFEST team will bare witness to over 150 bands throughout the summer and provide much needed energy and investment into certain areas especially where there are venues that are currently at risk of closure. Not only that, the franchising of the MAMMOTHFEST brand across the UK gives localised promoters greater reach to draw in larger customer numbers. Some have even set up their own one day festival style events like the "Among the Wolves Festival" in Wolverhampton! Stephen Dickson, the Mammothfest director commented :  “Having 30 promoters all over the UK combine like this has been a Mammoth task but now the network is in place we are seeing a national buzz around these events. Promoters are hyped about the proj...

Mammothfest is back: Bigger, Darker and Louder than ever!! It will have a massive impact! After two successful MammothFest event's and the comeback of festival in 2014 after a four year break, MammothFest show they mean serious business and unlike most festivals, they don't keep you waiting long, as they have generously and epically decided to release not just the headline bands for the three day event, but the whole bloody line-up!! Although in keeping with the festive spirit they did decide to do a 12 day of Christmas annoucement, giving a band a day, so some bands will already be known. The line-up spans from bands from all round the world to local champions and returning crowd pleasers from previous MammothFest's, which includes Meta-Stasis, Malefice, Core Of iO, Abhorrent Decimation and Stone Circle (who can proudly say they have been on every MammothFest bill so far!) This three day event is set to be the biggest and meanest MammothFest yet! Where attendees w...
