TREPALIUM'S tour calls in to Basingstoke's Sanctuary on August 10.  

The gig, presented by Rockbitch, costs £6 in advance and £7 OTD.  

Named after an ancient torture device, TREPALIUM sure know how to crush bones with their technical, multi-faceted yet wrenching death metal. In Latin, “trepalium” also means “labour”, a concept the French band knows more than well, being referred to as one of the best live performers of their generation.

Since its creation TREPALIUM has been a member of the Klonosphere, a group of French metal bands featuring KLONE, HACRIDE, MISTAKEN ELEMENT and many other acts who are not afraid to cross the boundaries and bring metal to a new dimension of diversity, technicality and energy.

Rockbitch said: "They are coming to Basingstoke fresh from their appearance at Bloodstock. Bands like this don't come around often - this will be special."
