Obviously most places on earth have a better metal scene than Darwin, Australia. We used to have a great metal scene, we had heaps of bands with all kinds of metal. Today, I sing in the last metal band in the area. What me and my band have been attempting to do is re-ignite peoples interest in metal, and the scene.
What I'm wondering is how this can be done? At the moment I'm starting a local extreme metal zine and will be starting a weekly radio show soon.
What sort of things do other cities have that keeps the scene thriving? Obviously I cant go out and open a bar that supports all local metal acts... in fact venues are rare enough as they are. But with no financial backing of any sort... what are my options?
