With a twelve band line up, that sounds like the foot notes of Patrick Bateman’s sketch pad, the Headbangers Balls UK 2013 tour came to end last weekend.
Crashing into the walls of the Rainbow Warehouse on Sat 17th August, this twelve date UK tour began just over a month before in Cardiff.
Organised by Reign of Fury, the partly Midlands based thrash Metal band, the Headbangers Balls tour raised funds and awareness to tackle testicular cancer; something Reign of Fury vocalist, Bison Steed, has been clear of since he was diagnosed and treated for the cancer back in 2008.
Testicular cancer can be a serious killer amongst men of all ages, with a high risk of spreading if not caught early. For more information on testicular cancer please consult your GP or a healthcare professional, although a lot of initial information can be found online – http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-help/type/testicular-cancer/
