Second Soundwave 2012 announcement

It's a few days old now, but I was busy as all buggery up til now.

The poster of the second announcement is (should be) below, I think I heard there's 5 more bands to be announced.
New Zealand fans not heading over can be relieved that from this announcement, we can see Unearth in early March next year.
**FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT http://www.hardfastheavy.com/2011/10/1st-announcement-for-soundwave-2012.html **

Cripple Mr Onion added to Lamb of God show

Thanks to the wonder of facebook and instant communications, a recent update from a member of the Auckland-based Christchurch band, Cripple Mr Onion seems to suggest they have secured an opening slot to support Lamb of God, The Black Dahlia Murder and Unearth when they play at the Studio, March 7th 2012.

During down time on their previous visits, Lamb of God members are known to explore the wonders of Auckland (possibly NZ, but dunno) with visits to the harbour bridge bungey (a pic of which appeared in Revolver mag or some other such American publication) I've heard they've wandered around the CBD, and popped in to sit in on a Cripple Mr Onion band practice.

NZ show: Lamb of God, The Black Dahlia Murder, Unearth

What seems like the first (of what will hopefully be many) Soundwave 2012 sideshows in NZ has been announced. Headliner, Lamb of God would have only just played in Perth with the traveling alternative music fest, a mere 2 days prior to their NZ show.

The Black Dahlia Murder and Unearth have no announcements regarding Soundwave (that I've heard) but it would be kinda sweet for any kiwi's heading over, if all bands on this NZ show were also at soundwave....

NOTE: By the time of the gig all these bands will, or should have new albums out: LOG- working on it now, or around the time of that New York hurricane/ the 911 tenth anniversary. Black Dahlia Murder :"Ritual", Unearth:"Darkness in the light"

Metal isolationists, or elitists or internet metal warriors or "I'm not listening to these bands because I've read about them in Metal Hammer mag/blabbermouth etc rather than judging them based on an unbiased, self-made opinion of how I feel about their music" types will have crap to say about this show, and that's all I have to say about that: my goal for this paragraph was the use of isolationists and the itallicised statement..

I might sound like I'm showing my age in a youthful way, but Lamb of God vocalist, D. Randal Bythe was the subject of my 1st phone interview not long after I took over the reigns of hardfastheavy back in 2006, since then I've also phone interviewed Mark Morton and John Campbell, but none of the Adler brothers. I've seen the band perform in Aussie in '06 and all times in NZ. Randy was also a judge at this years GWAR-B.Q.

I'm loving the Black Dahlia Murder's latest album, "Ritual" & I have a pic on this website of myself with BDM drummer Shannon Lucas from when they performed at the Kings Arms for the 1st time,  that seems to be popular.
