EXCITER Will NOT Perform At This Year's MILWAUKEE METALFEST

April 6, 2007

Despite the organizers' previous announcement to the contrary, Canadian thrash metal pioneers EXCITER will **NOT** perform at this year's Milwaukee Metalfest, set to take place May 11-12 at the Waukesha Expo Center in Waukesha, WI. "We did talk to the promoter about playing, but we were unable to come to an agreement on terms, and so we are not playing the show," the band said.

EXCITER will make its live debut with singer Kenny "MetalMouth" Winter on August 18 at The Reverb in Toronto, Ontario as part of Glory Through Steel concert series. "Our performance will include material from 1983-85, 1990-93, 1996-2004 plus new material from our upcoming new release, 'Thrash Speed Burn'," the band said. "The evening will be a headbanging, neck-snapping, fists-in-the-air gathering of Toronto metalheads."

EXCITER recently posted a live clip of their new song "In Mortal Fear", recorded during the group's 2005 appearance at the Bang Your Head!!! festival in Balingen, Germany. The track is expected to appear on the band's upcoming CD, entitled "Thrash Speed Burn". Watch the video at this location.

EXCITER recently parted ways with France's Osmose Productions. The band is currently seeking a new label home for the release of the group's upcoming CD.

EXCITER's last CD is "New Testament - Coven of Re-Recorded Classics", a collection of reworked early songs which was released in June 2004 through Osmose Productions.
