Album Launch Announced / Rock The House 2014

Greetings, all!

Firstly, we would like to thank every single one of you for being extremely patient and supporting Collibus over the past few months, and even years! We've had our share of ups and downs, and even felt like giving up at points, yet soldiered on through all the bullshit and let downs... We're finally approaching the other side and it's all beginning to pay off, which comes as great relief to us! Our recent management signing is pushing us in all the right directions, with some very exciting times ahead indeed. So, without further ado, it is with delight that we can now announce the official release date for our long, long awaited album, 'The False Awakening'...

On Tuesday 19th November, we are honoured to have the fantastic opportunity of coinciding our album launch with the prestigious Rock The House Awards 2014 launch at the Houses of Parliament. For those who are unaware, we won the 2013 Discretionary Rock Award, hand picked from 100s of entries from all over the UK, and officially offered a slot to play Download Festival 2014. Since then, we have been working behind the scenes to make the launch of our album something extremely special...

We will be the first ever Heavy Metal band to play live at the House of Commons, performing live on the Pavilion Terrace in front of MPs, musicians, and all sorts of influential people from the music industry. Collibus are making history here, folks! Considering MPs once attempted to ban Rock The House Patron, Alice Cooper, from performing in the UK, the fact that such an event is even happening in the first place is a tremendous achievement and a giant step for UK music. An official press release will be posted in the run up the launch.

An after show party is also being organised in our honour, details of which TBA, where our album will be played in full. To say we are excited would be an understatement. We urge any unsigned band or artist to enter Rock The House 2014 - you never know where it might get you! Please, check it out!

While the official launch will be by invite only, do not despair. We are planning a local album party in Manchester, TBA. We feel like celebrating, and hope you will join us!
