Metal Up Your Ass - December, 2006
What else could Santa possibly have in his sack that beats this line-up?
Ding dong merrily on high, the crowds are still head-banging. We're dreaming of a black Christmas here at Metal Up Yer Ass, with the best of touring and local acts coming your way in the month of December. On the 1st Azriel and guests slam down Glasgow's Cathouse for festive metal frolics from 7pm. On Sunday the 3rd, Welsh champions of the mainstream Lostprophets perform to the Edinburgh Corn Exchange with a number of their heartfelt rocking chart hits. Tickets cost £16.50. A Saturday night of blistering speed metal awaits fans of fleet-fretted solo junkies Dragonforce at Barrowlands on December 9th and Studio 24 in Edinburgh hosts Skindred on the 10th, with local support from The Summer They All Went Mad. On Thursday the 14th there are performances from the highly recommended Alrosa and Edinburgh's Secta Rouge at The Vale in Glasgow and The Cold Dead Hands Collective dishes out an early Christmas present to gig-goers on Saturday the 23rd at Edinburgh's 3 Tuns, with a free entry gig including explosive technical hardcore act Friday Night Gunfight. What else could Santa possibly have in his sack that beats that line-up?
