Some of you may have heard that Coroner are touring Australia in June (see more details below), but the announcements so far haven't included a Perth date. However, on the facebook event page, after some prompting from a fan and all round top bloke, Paul Easson, it was said by one of the promoters involved that if there were a good couple hundred people willing to sign a petition for it then they would do add a Perth show. I know there are plenty of Coroner fans in Perth so head over to the petition and jump on board! This would be the ultimate display of a promoter that they actually care about the fans of the bands they bring, and the perfect opportunity to show promoters that we have a healthy scene that will bring it when it comes to cool tours and shows!
Don't forget to pass it on and share it around!

Hailing from the South Highlands of New South Wales, Norse are about to launch a new release of their style of black / death metal on February 7 in Sydney at the Bald Faced Stag. This is Norse's first show after their hiatus upon losing long-time guitarist/vocalist Treelo and will be their first time showcasing their new lineup and launching their 7" vinyl "Plaguewhore". The lead guitarist from Apparitions of Null has just been announced as Norse's new live guitarist (and will be playing with both bands that night). Their new vocalist is still a mystery - people will have to head to the gig to find out who that is.

Not only that but everyone in the door goes in the draw to win a double pass to Septicflesh and Fleshgod Apocalypse in Sydney, courtesy of Metropolis Touring. Eternal Rest, Mephistopheles, The Seer and Apparitions of Null will be playing in support of Norse, and you can find the full event details on the gig guide or on the facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/686930251327763/

I was contacted by Chris from Into The Pit Records because he's working on a compilation release for old Perth metal band SFD to put it out there to see if anyone might have some old photos or flyers etc to include in the CD artwork. If anyone has something or knows someone that does you can contact him at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Unfortunately, SFD were before my time so I never got to see them, but I've heard good things mentioned about them from time to time, and they sound pretty good. Anyone that's curious check out this track:
