Australian Tours???

[Reaper69]

Does anyone know of any Metal/Rock bands that are touring Australia either soon or in the future. It's just I wanna go to a concert but I can't find shit. The only band that I found touring australia is As I Lay Dying.

Nile late last year, Cryptopsy earlier this month, Disgorge in March, Opeth in April, and you just missed Dragonforce (tonight for Melbourne, I believe). Kreator later in the year though, but that's pretty much the only band left on the cards.

Get out and see the local acts. Melbourne is a fucking great place.

I saw 'em at ANZAC Day Celebration, yep. Was the greatest fucking live show I've ever seen. Also saw Carbon, Gospel of the Horns, Excruciate, Oracle of the Void, Netherkin, Misery and Shackles. One fucking hell of a night, I assure you.

 

[Dän]

mmm i take your word for it
Im so looking forward to seeing them hear

The man speaks truth. We've got some of the most innovative bands around these days, though they all seem quite incestuous in terms of members (see: Stargazer/Portal/Mournful Congregation/Martire/Misery's Omen/Lord of the Command/Cauldron Black Ram and about half a dozen extras).

 

[Dän]

Mournful Congregation - wicked band

Australia is the place where its happening, fuck norway and all that, Australia is the home of metal, and you all know it

 

[Nico]

Norway hasn't been interesting since what, 1995? That may be pushing it. Australia started getting interesting around that time, with the better SadEx material, Destroyer 666, Nazxul, Abramelin, whatever the fuck else. Nowdays we've got some fucking frontrunners, and even the odd band that's taking an old idea in some interesting directions (Elysian Blaze, Misery's Omen).

 

[Dän]

^mm true that

 

[byrne]

FUCK! how many times do i have to say LISTEN TO MORTAL SIN.

earlier in the year they played the full set list of mayhemic destruction + a standard set list from their new demo (soon to be album) and other older albums. was absolutely killer to see. check their website (by clicking the big picture in my sig) for an upcoming melbourne show.

alchemist is also a wicked band to see live, and they play quite regularly.

and aside from the above mentioned bands, astriaal are killer also and inslain rock. there are others, but i suggest you catch most of them at this years mftb.

 

[Dän]

k ill check em out

 

[Priest of Evil]

Dan, you must be a young-un if you havent ever seen StarGazer play live in Adelaide.

New Mortal Sin, luverly!

 

[Dän]

I am indeed an youn-un - 18 to be exact, i dont think they have done any whows here since the release of their debut album though, they may have done some shows prior to that however, before i was in to metal

 

[Carcassian]

I love Aussies. Good people. They're like working class English people, but without the kow-towing to authority figures.

Bless ya, my antipodean cousins!

Here's to you!

P.S. Thanks for Burundi Rum chaps. Good effort
