For the first time in New Zealand’s rich musical history, some of the best local, national and international rock & metal acts will come together to celebrate New Year 2012 at New Zealand’s newest and heaviest festival – Beyond the Black.

Beyond the Black is proud to announce the final addition to the line-up, Rock Legends - HEAD LIKE A HOLE.
Having completed a nationwide tour, risqué rockers Head Like a Hole have received nothing short of glowing reviews for their new album Blood Will Out. Debuting at number 8 in the New Zealand music charts and number 1 on New Zealand iTunes, it’s been their best selling album to date. They’ve just blown the cobwebs out of other New Zealand’s cities - with darker and heavier sounds than most other bands dare - and they’re saving the best for last, a stenchy New Year’s Eve show - Beyond the Black. With industry professionals claiming Head Like a Hole have produced their finest work to date in the 11 tracks of Blood Will Out, their live performance only takes these songs to new heights. Roaring guitars, pounding drums, brutal bass, all backing up Booga who prowls the stage like an unleashed beast - it’s a performance not to be missed! Saving their most brutal show for the end of the year, Head Like a Hole will be on their home turf of the Hutt City this New Year’s Eve and that’s something to celebrate. In the meantime, get your ears tuned to their singles Swagger of Thieves and Glory Glory, and once you have the whole album “Blood Will Out” in your hot little hands, you’ll want to listen to the album again and again.

Beyond the Black is to be held at Trentham Race Course, which is just a 30 minutes drive from Wellington city. Easy to access by car (we offer to all patrons a free secure car park), bus and train; getting yourself there will be simple.
