Merseyside based Caveman Battle Doom band Conan have announced a string of UK dates for October this year, singer Jon Davis (no not that one, this is not numetalgigs) had this to say "This tour will be our last until the new album is out, and we'll be using it to try out a couple of tracks from the new album. Looking forward to hitting the road again".  We're certainly happy about this news, Conan live outings are IMMENSE and following on from slaying at festivals such as Roadburn and Desertfest they were recently signed to Napalm Records.  We're sure the new material will be crushing, just check out the link below to their recent split with Bongripper.

We came, we saw, we banged our heads.  From an initial rain soaked arrival at Donington Park the weekend ended up a fairly sunny and fun 3 days of beer and music, but more importantly an AMAZING set from Iron Maiden. From the initial Spitfire flyover and Moonchild to an encore of Aces High, The Evil That Men Do, and Running Free it was an amazing 2 hours of music showing they STILL have it in spades, Phantom of the Opera was phenomenal.

A surprise announcement was made during their set that they would be returning to England at the end of their current Maiden '88 European tour to play the O2 Arena on Saturday 3rd August 2013.  Better still is they are insuring the REAL fans will be able to get tickets...

Hello Mud, it's me again, in my misfitting Wellington Boots!!
