June 17, 2011, 13 years ago
Cleveland, Ohio metal legends SHOK PARIS will debut new material from their forthcoming Full Metal Jacket album at this year's Warriors Of Metal festival, which is set to take place June 17th - 18th, at the Frontier Ranch in Pataskala, Ohio (located 20 minutes east of Columbus).
The band will be taking the stage on Saturday, June 18th and performing a full 70-minute co-headlining set with ASKA to close out the festival. The new songs performed will be 'Full Metal Jacket', 'Do Or Die' and 'Hell Day'.
Full Metal Jacket will be Shok Paris' fourth studio album and their first since 1989's Concrete Killers, which was released via I.R.S./Auburn Records and distributed through MCA.
"We'd like to have 15-20 songs ready before entering the studio", says guitarist and main songwriter Ken Erb. "I've got a ton of ideas and have been working hard in putting everything together."The band plans on entering Noise Floor Studios in Cleveland later this year to begin recording. The album is tentatively scheduled for release via Auburn Records in early 2012.
Shok Paris will be reuniting with LIZZY BORDEN on their Summer Of Blood July 13th tour stop at Peabody's Concert Club in Cleveland, Ohio. The two bands toured the U.S. together in 1989.
Warriors Of Metal will be Shok Paris' only 2011 festival appearance. The band has been confirmed to headline the opening night of the Up The Hammers festival, set to take place March 2nd - 3rd, 2012 at the An Club in Athens, Greece.
"Playing the Warriors Of Metal festival is a great opportunity for Shok Paris to do an Open Air festival not only here in the States, but also in our own State of Ohio", adds Hix. "We could not ask for anything more by having the chance to play in front of our own family and friends. Hope to see ya there!"
