ETERNAL LEGACY have replaced CHEMIKILL on the Auburn Records 25th Anniversary Concert, set to take place on Saturday, December 12, 2009 at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, Ohio. Also scheduled to perform are DESTRUCTOR, BREAKER, SHOK PARIS, MANIMALS, FOOSE, WRETCH, ATTAXE, H.A.T.E., SOULLESS and ALTERNATE REALITY.

"Chemikill lead vocalist Fred Flory had to travel to Arizona to help take care of his ailing mother", says Auburn Records president Bill Peters. "I decided to make the change because we are not sure when he will be able to return to Cleveland. This is far more important than the show. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Fred and his family."

Chemikill will be releasing their debut album, Edge Of Wasteland, in 2010 on Auburn. The album is being produced by Breaker guitarist Don Depew.

Eternal Legacy have just released their second album on Auburn entitled Lifeless Alive. The band recently headlined a CD release show for the new album at Peabody's Concert Club in Cleveland on November 27, 2009. They are Auburn's youngest band signed to the label.

"We're very excited to be added!", says Eternal Legacy guitarist Shaun Vanek. "It's an honor for us to share the same stage with legendary Auburn bands like Destructor and Breaker. My brother Jason (lead vocals/guitar) and I grew up listening to these bands before we started playing in a band together. We have the highest respect for them. We are going to give the heavy metal fans of Cleveland a concert they won't soon forget!".

Admission to the event is FREE. No advance tickets are needed. The doors open at 3:30 p.m. Cameras, video and audio recording are permitted.

Auburn Records is an independent heavy metal label based in Cleveland, Ohio.

Germany's Iron Ingo Stührenberg (Metal-Rules.de) and Chris E. (Cellbound) will guest MC. Metal-Rules.de and The Exchange are co-sponsors. Spectrum Sound will be doing a multi-track recording.

Fans are encouraged to bring cans of food to the concert. A donation will be made to the Cleveland Foodbank to help those in need this holiday season from the Cleveland metal community.

The food drive is being sponsored by WJCU 88.7 FM and Auburn Records.

Peters hosts his long-running Friday night Metal On Metal radio show on WJCU.

Musical highlights include:

- Destructor's special first-time performance of the band's classic 1985 Maximum Destruction debut vinyl album in its entirety from start to finish.
- Shok Paris reunion, with the songwriting team of guitarist Ken Erb and vocalist Vic Hix taking the stage together for the first time since 2004's Bang Your Head!!! festival in Balingen, Germany.
- Breaker's first live performance since their appearance at the 2008 Bang Your Head!!! festival in Balingen, Germany, where the band's set closing, stage destructing finale (ala The Who) garnished headlines when vocalist Greg Wagner made history by being the first to jump into the crowd off the massive festival stage.
