IRISH METAL ARCHIVE: 5th Anniversary gigs… Posted: 22/02/2016 by John O'Brien
Yup! We’ve been plugging away at this craic for FIVE YEARS!
To celebrate edging past the five year mark here in the Irish Metal Archive and to show our appreciation for everyone checking out the Archive, we’ve put together a series of live shows in conjunction with various promoters from around Ireland. There’s a little something for everyone, so head on out and enjoy a night of metal in one of the areas close to you…
The first gig will be on Friday 26th February where we team up with Carnage Metal Club in Fibbers, Dublin. THE DEVIL WANTS HER SWAGGER BACK will bring their heavy groove to headline this one with back-up from ALPHEIDAE, CROSSFIRE and Cork band PETHROPHIA.
