'Glenn Hughes Performs Classic Deep Purple Live -
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the album BURN'
Hardline Media are thrilled to present 'Glenn Hughes Performs Classic Deep Purple Live - Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the album BURN’, set for a run of shows in Australia in October 2024.
Glenn Hughes, the former bassist, and singer of Deep Purple, known to millions as the ‘Voice of Rock’, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee will perform songs from Deep Purple’s legendary rock album “BURN” along with Deep Purple MKIII and MKIV songs.
'It was 50 years ago, in the summer of 1973, that the BURN album by Deep Purple was written at Clearwell castle in The Forrest of Dean, Gloucestershire,” reminisces Glenn. “It was recorded in October in Montreux, Switzerland.”
Continues Hughes, “We all became one in this centuries old castle in the UK countryside, it felt like Deep were a new band, with David (Coverdale) and I as new members, we couldn’t wait to start working on new songs. The atmosphere was electric, in such amazing surroundings.”
“All the songs on Burn were written in the crypt/dungeon, underneath the great hall. We worked on a new song every day, and we were in the flow. Musically we would play, and work out ideas, and David and I would come up with vocal melodies that would later have lyrics. I remember it like it was yesterday.”
“As you could imagine, Ritchie Blackmore was in full prankster mode, Jon had warned me, and he rigged my room one night with a speaker that was hidden, and had ghostly voices delivered to my bedside.”
“The title track was the last song to be written. We came back from the pub, and went down into the crypt, and magic happened.”
Concludes Hughes, “It’s time to celebrate BURN, and I’m really looking forward to seeing you.”
DEEP PURPLE – THE STORY BEHIND “BURN”
Burn is the eighth studio album by the English rock band Deep Purple, written and recorded in 1973, and released in February 1974. The album was the first to feature then-unknown David Coverdale on vocals and Glenn Hughes, from Trapeze, on bass and vocals.
The album was recorded in Montreux, Switzerland, in November 1973, with the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. With the addition of David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, Purple's hard rock sound became more boogie-oriented, incorporating elements of soul and funk, which would become much more prominent on the follow-up album, Stormbringer.
Burn hit #3 on the UK Albums Chart, #9 on the US Billboard 200, and #1 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Norway.
In 2004 Burn was remastered and released with bonus tracks. Coronarias Redig was recorded during the Burn recording sessions, used only as a B-side for the Might Just Take Your Life single in 1974. It appears as a bonus track (in remixed form) on the anniversary edition re-release. The 2004 remix version of Burn was later used in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
In 2005 an unauthorised documentary about the album was produced as part of "The Ultimate Critical Review" series. It featured brand new interview with the original Deep Purple Mk III bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes. Lead single Might Just Take Your Life, released 4 March, was Deep Purple's first UK single in two years.
The phenomenal title track started things off at full throttle and challenged the seminal Highway Star for the honour of best opener to any Deep Purple album, while showcasing the always impressive drumming of Ian Paice. The fantastic slow-boiling blues of Mistreated's greatness qualifies it for the highest echelons of hard rock achievement, and therefore ranks as an essential item in the discography of any self-respecting music fan.

GLENN HUGHES
Glenn Hughes is an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the MK 3 line up of Deep Purple. He spent the formative years of his career as the beloved bassist and vocalist of the group and performed on the classic albums Burn (1974), Stormbringer (1974) and Come Taste The Band (1975).
The vocalist/bass guitarist/songwriter is a true original. No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the elements of hard rock, soul and funk. Stevie Wonder once called Hughes his favourite white singer. The first important band Hughes was a member of that achieved notable success was Trapeze.
In 1973, Hughes joined Deep Purple. The trailblazing hard-rock legends had just weathered the departure of vocalist Ian Gillan and bass guitarist Roger Glover, however guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Paice continued with the addition of Hughes and David Coverdale.
Since 1992, Hughes has toured extensively throughout Europe, Japan, and South America in support of solo albums. He has recorded four studio albums with the multi-award-winning supergroup Black Country Communion featuring guitarist Joe Bonamassa, keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater) and drummer Jason Bonham, son of the late Led Zeppelin legend John Bonham.
In 2016 he released his critically acclaimed solo album Resonate featuring the rock radio hit “Heavy”, and in 2017 he released Black Country Communion’s fourth studio album “BCCIV” to ecstatic reviews.
In 2019 Glenn joined the Dead Daises as their lead singer and bass guitarist, recorded two albums, Holy Ground (2021) and Radiance (2022) and toured the world.
Back again Down Under, Hughes is set to blow the socks off Aussie fans with a 50 year celebration performance of BURN as well as a selection of Deep Purple songs.
CANBERRA, BRISBANE, SYDNEY, MELBOURNE and ADELAIDE - Get ready to BURN!
"If you haven't seen Glenn Hughes perform, rectify that immediately. He is not human. He is something else. An absolutely extraordinary vocalist, and his bass playing Is perfection. GOAT!! I'm blown away. Can you tell?” -
Justin Hawkins, The Darkness (after seeing Hughes perform on the Monsters of Rock boat cruise, 2024)

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Debut Australian Tour 2024
Hardline are excited to announce, for their first time in Australia, Canadian Power Metal groundbreakers Unleash the Archers, to tour Australia & New Zealand in 2024.
Unleash The Archers were formed in 2007 by front-woman Brittney Slayes, together with drummer Scott Buchanan, while attending the University of Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.
After moving to Vancouver in 2010 the band underwent several lineup changes, but were finally able to cement their unique, genre-blending style of Heavy Metal with the addition of Grant Truesdell, Andrew Kingsley and Nick Miller.
By weaving the aggression of the more extreme genres into the intricacies of traditional Heavy Metal, UTA have created a sound unlike anything else in the industry. They embrace a commercial appeal that attracts music lovers of all types while maintaining a heavy edge that remains true to their Death Metal roots.
Watch ‘Abyss’ here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bGmjnkDTTI
Since their inception UTA have always put an emphasis on touring. COVID of course hit the breaks for the band somewhat, with Hardline and Unleash the Archers originally scheduled to announce this Aussie & NZ tour back in 2021! With touring worldwide back on the cards and a new album to be released soon - it is with great pleasure to finally declare these dates Down under with UTA in 2024.

HARDLINE MEDIA are beyond pleased to present the music of HELLHAMMER performed by Tom Gabriel Warrior’s TRIUMPH OF DEATH, live in Australia, this August, 2024.
The impact of Swiss extreme Metal forefathers Hellhammer is one that still resonates around the global Metal scene today, such was their influence on the early Extreme, Death, and Black Metal genres. In the 40 years that have passed since their humble beginnings in Nurensdorf, Switzerland, in May 1982, they have gained a mythically iconic status despite existing for a mere two years. However, the band left a highly influential body of work behind, including the three demos Death Fiend, Satanic Rites and Triumph Of Death (all re-released in 2008 as the Demon Entrails demo retrospective), the seminal Apocalyptic Raids EP, and two tracks from the legendary Death Metal compilation. In light of this legacy, it is almost inconceivable that Hellhammer never performed this music on stage.
Celtic Frost, the successor group formed by Hellhammer founding member Tom Gabriel Warrior and former Hellhammer bassist Martin Eric Ain, would sporadically play a Hellhammer song or two, and Warrior’s current band, Triptykon, have played the occasional Hellhammer song live, but the vast body of Hellhammer's work remained unperformed, until the inception of Triumph Of Death. In 2019 Tom Gabriel Warrior stated: "Hellhammer will never return and will never be reformed. It is absolutely impossible to reform a band so closely linked to a very specific and unique period in time. But Hellhammer's music exists, and it is an extremely important part of my life's path. And I would like to play it onstage before my demise"
AVAILABLE NOW!! TRIUMPH OF DEATH DEBUT LIVE ALBUM PERFORMING THE MUSIC OF HELLHAMMER ‘RESURRECTION OF THE FLESH'
