Live Hell's Pleasure 2012

New Shirts

The new SOLSTICE shirts are finally ready. We will have them to sell at HELL'S PLEASURE next week, and at BEYOND THE GATES etc. Price will be 15 Euro's. Sizes available are Small, Medium, Large and X-Large. The design is Black and white printed on Charcoal gray Gildan Softstyle shirts. Very classy indeed if I may say so myself.  Sorry no mail order right now until September...We simply don't have the time over the next couple of months with everything else that's happening!!

And if it wasn't enough that we've made new shirts, we've even got off our collective aerses, and made new button badges too!! Shiny, shiny, button badges. Lovely. Black and metallic silver, or red, silver and metallic red. Take your fucking pick! These will look fucking grand on your leather, or your denim. There's simply no stopping us now, today Huddersfield, tomorrow, the fucking world!!

Hammer Of Doom 7

Please Note, we will also be playing the BEYOND THE GATES Festival in Bergen, Norway, on August 24th. It will be our first ever gig in Norway, and also Paul's first appearance live in his adopted home country. Until then, see you all at HELLS PLEASURE on July 20th, we'll be playing about 8pm or so on the Saturday night, the new shirts and badges will be on sale, and we'll be accepting free drinks....we will also be happy to receive money, food, and records/tapes etc. Anything, as long as it doesn't cost us.

May The Force Be With You.

Thanks indeed to everyone who showed up in Switzerland, and in Denmark for the gigs, especially those  of you who travelled long distance to glimpse in real life the miracle of nature that is Paul's hair in action. Below are a selction of photograph's snapped at Lucerne by Mike Wiener, and it was great gig, possibly the best we've played in the last 12 months proving yet again we made the right choices in Paul as a frontman and Del as a drummer. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. Don't forget the London show on June 3rd with Manilla Road at The Dome in Tufnell Park either, as Paul and Andy will be free after the show if anyone would care to buy them drinks.........by gum!

Last Orders At The Bar!

The last SOLSTICE gig of 2012, and most likely the last European gig before the recording and release of the "ENGLANDER" album will be - 

November 10th - Hammer Of Doom Festival, Germany. 

We will hopefully see some of you there. Also coming soon -

Sounds Of War

We are currently looking for a sound engineer to work with us at our live shows. The successful candidate will get to travel with 5 juvenile delinquents masquerading as an Epic Metal Band across Europe to various gigs and make us sound palatable to peoples fragile ears, and not be afraid to use volume as a weapon of warfare. Contact us at the usual email address to be found around the web, or send a message via the facebook page.
