Your Favourite Australian Bands?

[Winmar]

I saw The Eternal last night at Opeth. Was pretty impressed....

Alarum are going overseas soon, which is great.

 

[Incarnate]

Alarum, Psycroptic, Dungeon, diSEMBOWELMENT, Fuck... Im Dead, Silverchair, Cog, Shihad, Pathogen.

I thought The Eternal were pretty poor when I saw them on the Opeth tour.

 

[squigy]

yay the only good australian band i realy know is jerk i'll check out some of yours

 

[Winmar]

I'm not sure I've ever heard Jerk.

DARKLORD from SA are the heaviest most crushing band I've ever heard in the world. Heavier than all those mentioned put together. Believe me, I've seen em live and I'd find it hard to believe there's anyone heavier than them going around. Not to mention the two best guitarists in metal in such an extreme band.

 

[Satanik Lord]

Grow some balls the lot of you. Extreme satanic metal is the law! AARRGGHH!
Best Aussie bands:

Darklord
Nazxul
Bestial Warlust (RIP)
Sadistik Exekution

 

[Satanik Lord]

Sorry folks, we're supposed to be talking about metal bands here. So I'm afraid stuff like Sunk Loto, Parkway Drive, Chalice, Testeagles, Mindsnare and so many other bands mentioned here just don't cut it as 'metal' and shouldn't even be mentioned.

 

[Winmar]

The thread title says favourite Australian bands, not favourite Australian metal bands though.

I like extreme metal, but a bit of variation is good. Plus to believe in Satan you believe in God by default, which isn't always easy....

 

[Shiny McShining Rodriguez]

High five indeed.

And of course, don't forget that we have to listen to the most extreme metal there is, or nothing.

 

[FerretallicA]

Favourites: ghettoblasterz, Tommy Emmanuel, Dungeon/LORD, On The Virg, Psycroptic, Transcending Mortality, Inane Eminence, James Reyne, Pathogen, John Farnham, AC/DC, Flatstick, Brett Garsed, The Screaming Jets.

No, they're not ALL metal, but the thread is "Your favourite Australian bands", not "Your favourite Australian bands METAL ONLY".

 

[Goreripper]

Mondo Rock..? That's a strange choice.

 

[FerretallicA]

Fuck, I forgot a recent favourite- Tamam Shud.

Mondo Rock... what can I say... guilty pleasures.

 

[Goreripper]

I would say Split Enz, but they're technically not Australian. Then again, this is the AUS/NZ forum, so it qualifies. Speaking of NZ bands, Dawn of Azazel is fucking awesome!

 

[Mechailus]

Mixed bands...

Astriaal, Virgin Black, Beneath the Dying Moon, Vanishing Point, Ne Obliviscaris, Enter Twilight, Voyager, The Furor, The Butterfly Effect, Best Wishes, Angel Theory, Resurrection Eve, Lycanthia, The Amenta, The Eternal, Be'lakor, Minus Life, Long Walk Home...
...all I can remember...

 

[TheDenimRager]

Fuck, I forgot a recent favourite- Tamam Shud.

There's a name you don't hear often. I think that band has spelt their name differently more times than I've had baked dinners.

 

[Dän]

Hey any of you dudes heard of chalice?
they are playing with the eternal here in adelaide in a few weeks

 

[TheDenimRager]

Chalice fucking rule.
