New gig review

Just added a review of a gig from a couple of weeks back - Hornography at the Rocket Room. Was a great night, and I'm not just saying that because I played a small part in it. Had a good mix of different styles of metal and bands well accomplished at their respective genres. The review is courtesy of 'Trease 'Riot so go here and check it out.

Hype! - Weekly metal night

If you're looking for something metal to do mid-week in Perth then you may be in luck. Starting on Wednesday the 27th of July is Hype!, a new weekly metal / hardcore night with bands, djs and even the odd giveaway. This will be happening at the Rocket Room which I'm sure you're all familiar with if you check out Perth metal shows with any regularity.

I've been told the first couple of nights are a bit more of the hardcore end of the scale but they'll be ramping up to more metal acts after that, so keep an eye out for details as they come, and as always check out the gig guide. Which you might want to do now as it has the full details of the upcoming show.

Article updates!

I've just added a couple of new articles to Western Front - one being a feature page on Vespers Descent. They have a new album ready and have the launch coming up for it soon, so check out their feature page and then check out the show!

Also, there is a new review added of a recent gig, "Virtually Dead", thanks to Trease Riot. So if you were there or just interested to see her take on things and what the show was like then have a squiz.

Flood Relief Fundraisers

Symphonic, Melodic Heavyweights Voyager will hit the stage at the Rosemount Hotel Friday February 11th, along with local metal oufits Claim the Throne, Chaos Divine & Empires Laid Waste. This impressive lineup will join forces to raise much needed funds for those affected by the recent Flood Disaster in Queensland.
Be there early to enjoy the best Metal Perth has to offer and support this very worthy cause. All proceeds of this event will go to directly to the 'Premiers Flood Relief Charity'

Also, the upcoming Guitar Gods IV show will be donating money raised on the night to help aid those in distress both in W.A. and the East coast. It takes place on Sunday January 30, 2011 at The Charles Hotel in North Perth the great Sunday Session of Guitar'n'Good Times!
