SnakeNet Metal Radio in association with Sinister Heart Promotions and Oran Mor Productions are currently searching for unsigned extreme metal bands who would like to participate in the first ever UK National Battle of the Bands!

The heats will be taking place both in London and Bradford starting January 2004, so the bands from Northern England and Scotland don't have to travel all the way to the south. The final will be held in London in December.

Bands interested in playing the Bradford heats should contact Tony at tony@oranmor.net, with every unsigned band who is not yet firmly established in the UK metal underground considered.
