  | Feel like checking out a bunch of Aussie metal bands? Well, I feel like plugging 'em! All bands I've plugged before, I'm sure, but they deserve another mention: Dungeon/LORD - Essentially the same band with a name change, for reasons I won't get into here. They're a thrashy power metal band, with touches of prog and AOR. They've supported bands like Queensryche, Destruction, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nightwish, Angra and Megadeth; Mustaine was so impressed by them that he took Dungeon to Eurpoe as direct support for Megadeth in 2005. www.myspace.com/dungeonmetal and www.myspace.com/lordaus should get you sorted. YouTube - Dungeon - One Step Beyond YouTube - LORD - Lost In The Light (Live - Dungeon) www.PyroMusic.net Alarum - Progressive jazz/death metal that I've plugged countless times. Basically, if you did Cynic, Atheist Aghora etc you'll dig them. They've toured the US and Canada with the likes of Necrophagist, Neuraxis, Arsis and Ion Dissonance. The entire lineup was also the backing band for The Berserker at one point, if you're into them. One of their guitarists plays a Carvin DC727 too (although, from what I've heard, he recently quit the band). Invalid User , if you're so inclined. YouTube - Alarum - Velocity YouTube - Woven Imbalance (live) Blood Duster - This band started off as grindcore but these days they mix it up between grindcore and Turbonegro-style punk with cookie monster vocals. They recently put out a triple album called Lynden Na (or something like that, Norse for "the new sound" apparently) with one disc of rock, one of grindcore and a downloadable cd of Melvins-esque noise. If you dig the rock stuff, check out the Cunt album, and for grindcore check out Fisting The Dead. They'll be touring the US next year with Brutal Truth. www.myspace.com/bloodduster - you know what to do... YouTube - Kill,Kill,Kill/Albert/Derek - Blood Duster YouTube - BLOOD DUSTER - Porn Store Stiffi Psycroptic - Probably our most successful metal band internationally right now. They're a brutal death metal band with quite a heavy melodeath influence and have toured Europe quite a few times, with the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Deicide and Vader. They have three albums, the latest features a different vocalist but they're all pretty similar. Their drummer recently did session drums for Aborted and plays for a few other Aussie bands too. www.myspace.com/psycroptic YouTube - PSYCROPTIC - The Colour of Sleep (Gaelic Club) YouTube - Psycroptic - Alpha Breed (Live at the Tote) Alchemist - These guys have been around for close to 20 years now. They started off as Voivod-esque death metal but over time have become more psychedelic and progressive. They play sevens these days, too, I think. For an overview of their sound over the years, check out the two-disc best-of/rarities Embryonics, out on Relapse. They've toured Europe and the UK with the likes of Cult Of Luna and... someone else, The Gathering. I think. Not a hell of a lot on youtube, so you'll have to make do with www.myspace.com/alchemistau YouTube - Alchemist - "First Contact" I'll add more bands when I can be bothered. Enjoy! |

  | You should add Hobb's Angel of Death... Hm, i didnt know Psycroptic and Alchemist were Aussie... Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high, Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie, Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally. Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread Its branches like a Temple overhead. ~Charles Baudelaire http://www.myspace.com/impurity Brutal Skullfucking Death Metal |

| Yeah, there are so many I could add, I just kept it to the bigger ones in the scene right now, as well as the ones I figured people here would like. Psycroptic are from Tasmania, so their technicality isn't so impressive when you realise that the band members all have extra limbs  A few more: Five Star Prison Cell - Downtuned "tech" style band; time signatures, crazy vocals, genre-bending, all that stuff. For fans of Meshuggah/Mike Patton/DEP/Bulb. They have two albums, the most recent being Slaves Of Virgo. Invalid User , take a look. YouTube - Five Star Prison Cell - Vexed (for reasons torn) Daysend - Proof that metalcore is a global trend This is one of our bigger contenders in that style. I don't see what separates a good metalcore band from a bad one, so you can judge for yourself. They're on Metal Blade in the US and have toured with Otep, I think. Invalid User if you're interested,YouTube - Daysend - No Regrets YouTube - DAYSEND - The Blood Of Angels Gospel Of The Horns - Old-school deathy thrash. Anyone who's been digging the thrash thread will most likely dig this band. They've had European tours lined up before but they never seem to eventuate. www.myspace.com/gospelofthehorns , giddyup. YouTube - Gospel of the Horns - Powers of Darkness YouTube - Gospel Of The Horns in Auckland Last edited by DDDorian; 06-09-2007 at 01:26 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

| Those guys remind me a lot of Parkway Drive and I Killed the Prom Queen (two other aussie hardcore/metalcore bands). Jetzt liegst du hier, ganz regungslos, in meiner hand und meinem schoß, du bist so kalt... |
