There is some good stuff there.
My list would definitely look different to that but I'd have to give it a fair bit of thought. Finding some good, some bad and some forgotten stuff amongst the shit I'm going through and there is quite a bit I'd forgotten even existed.

Think I covered all my bases, though I have a feeling I missed some insanely important favourite album or something.
If the list included demos and EPs then yeah Armoured Angel would be in my list for sure. I'm much less familiar with their actual studio album.
Additive?

They were pretty busy in Sydney in their hey day. A lot of gigs and a decent following, supported Motorhead and Bob Daisley produced their second album Kick 'Em Hard. One of their members went on to the band Dungeon before they became Lord and I think two went into a late reincarnation of Mortal Sin. I also have some memory that one of them died and their was a huge tribute gig, but I could be wrong on that.

Apparently these guys were a Christian band(?) I picked this up last year. It was (re)released by Dark Symphonies (Dark Symphonies seem to release a fair amount of Aussie stuff, think they also released Persecution's demo stuff too). Actually enjoy this album but the main reason I picked it up was because it also included their demo when they went by Holy Rite.
this time I went back a few pages and didn't see any posts relating to these guys
@Slammed , Addictive are great. Big fan of both their albums.

Christian gore if there is such a thing
There was quite a few Christian related bands picked up by Rowe Productions, or publicised by Rowe Productions. Rowe Productions being Steve Rowe of Mortification so there is a chance that Dark Symphonies have done an international deal with Rowe to get some of the aussie stuff a US release.
There were a great band. I don't think there is a month that goes by that Kick 'Em Hard doesn't get played around here.

Pretty cool Aussie Gothic/Doom band I found at a local music store for like a dollar. Apparently the drummer at this point was in Mournful Congregation. Great riffs!
Really weird Aussie sludge/stoner death metal CiG showed me years ago.

They didn't last very long if I recall. They had a few releases, and hardly anyone posts their stuff on YouTube. Very downer.
Chalice had to grow on me. Glad I found Mournful Congregation through them, however .
