Metal band Diaries of a Hero are joining the Motorhead and Anthrax tour 2012! Not heard of them? I’m not really surprised, they are relatively new to the scene. However when a band is handpicked by Lemmy Kilmister to open up the biggest UK and European tour of 2012, it wont be long before everyone knows who they are!

Diaries of a Hero joins The Motorhead and Anthrax 2012 Tour

Motorhead and Anthrax tour 2012

Introducing Diaries of a Hero.  Yes, they’re a metal band. No, they’re are most definitely not your average metal band and on Monday the 5th November they head out on tour with 2 of the biggest trend setting metal bands of all time – Motorhead and Anthrax. Yes, there most certainly will be fireworks in the Midlands this coming bonfire night.

Formed in 2010, Diaries of a Hero is a metal chemical fusion of 4 men – 2 Italian, 1 Welsh and 1 Croatian.

Part metal, part classic rock, part progressive – their music sublimely hints at golden age Rush mixed with modern day sound – guitar chops messers Gilbert and Petrucci would be proud of, rasping vocals that remind you of Van Halen/Chickenfoot frontman Sammy Hagar but on steriods and a massive robust rhythm section with some of the finest percussion work you’ll find in today’s modern rock/metal scene.

 

Rock Hard Magazine (Italy) describes the band’s debut album ‘Behind The Mask’ perfectly:

 

“Energy and rage combined with technique and melody result in an original artistic vision. Diaries Of A Hero are bringing a whole new game!”

 

Mix this molotov cocktail together and come this November/December Diaries of a Hero will make their mark, bringing the roof down and evolve into the beast they promise to become.

Diaries of a Hero are:

Carlo Del Favero – vocals/guitars

John Weeks – guitars

Matteo Bevilacqua – bass

Leonard Berisha – drums/percussion

Band Manager – Black Radar Management (info@blackradarmanagement.com)

Press Agent – Stampede Press UK (rob@stampedepressuk.com)

Announcing Motorhead and Anthrax UK Tour Dates! This looks to be an amazing

Motorhead And Anthrax UK Tour Dates

collaboration of two giants in the Metal world from both sides of the pond. British Motorhead and American Anthrax together in one tour.

Motorhead are promoting latest album ”The World Is Yours” and DVD release, “The World Is Ours Vol. 1.”. Anthrax are also touring to support their new album “Worship Music” the first studio album they have produced in eight years.

Motorhead was formed by bassist, singer and songwriter Lemmy Kilmister, in 1975 (which makes it nearly as old as I am) Usually a power trio, Motorhead had huge success in the early ’80′s with several singles in the UK Top 40 chart. The albums Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades, and particularly No Sleep ’til Hammersmith, made Motörhead’s one of Britain’s foremost rock bands.

Motorhead’s lyrics tend to cover topics as war, abuse of power, good versus evil, gambling, and good ol’ Sex Drugs and Rock n Roll. Even the name “Motorhead” is a reference to users of the drug amphetamine.

When thrash metal began to gain a major following in the mid-to-late 1980s, Anthrax were dubbed one of the “big four” of thrash metal alongside Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. They were also one of the early thrash metal bands to sign to a major label (Island Records, in 1985).

Singer Joey Belladonna has returned to Anthrax and appears on Worship Music which is his first studio album with the band since the ”90′s
