Ticket holders please note that The Detonation Tour 2012 has a venue and date change.
Valgar Entertainment would like to apologise for any inconveniences caused due to the change in venues and dates. Unfortunately we are no longer able to host The Detonation Tour at Milanos in Vereeniging as the venue has been sold with immediate effect and the new owners have other plans for the venue which would make hosting a live show impossible.
We are very happy to announce that Zeplins Nightclub in Centurion will now be hosting The Detonation Tour on the 30th March 2012 and that the show at Tin Cups will be moved to Saturday the 31st March. If anyone has any problems or concerns regarding tickets they have already purchased please contact us and we will attend to you immediately. Thank you all for your continuing support, see you in the pits!
Considered to be one of heaviest bands currently in South Africa, Bile of Man gained alot of respect from fans and other bands as a result of their unrelenting brutality and intensity.
In the early years of the second millennium Bile of Man started pushing boudries with founding member and drummer Riaan Els (Ex Shadowlord, Funeral God), who employed Jacques Valentyn (Ex Mjolnir) as guitarist and co-songwriter. Shortly after, the spot of second guitar was filled by Bennie Burger.
Their debut show in April of 2008 cast their live performance reputation in stone - now known to be one of the most energetic live performances th metal scene in South Africa has ever seen. The band started recording their debut EP entitled: Dystopian Order: The Age of Detritus in mid 2010. Upon completion of recording th eband parted ways with long time bassist Choros Bileous, who was replaced with Kyle Smith (Ex All Forlorn frontman). The EP was released in March 2011 on a national tour that showcased the bands intensity, brutality and macabre heaviness on stage across South Africa, accompanied by some of the best metal acts in the country.
Fleshgod Apocalypse was created in April 2007. After the release of "Promo 07" which was recorded and mixed at 16th Cellar studio by producer Stefano "Saul" Morabito, the band was offered a record deal with Neurotic Records. The two tracks contained in the promo were included in the 4-way split "Da Vinci Death Code" distrubted via Spew Rec.
In December 2007, the band signed a new record deal with Willowtip Records who released Fleshgod's debut releaser "Oracles". The album is distrubted through Willowtip Records (United States / World) and Cadlelight Records (Europe). Shortly after their release of "Oracles" in April 2009, the band started intense live performance all over Europe. In between touring, Fleshgod Apocalypse were in the midst of writing new songs for their latest Ep and epic "mafia". Mafia was recorded, mixed and mastered at 16th Cellar Studio in January 2010 and released by Willowtip Records. This Ep was huge step forward as it received great reviews around the world.
2012 will see South Africa welcoming Fleshgod Apocalypse with The Detonation tour 2: Death To The Nation along with South Africa Death Metal bands Bile of Man and Bleeding Spawn.
