I know only 3 bands: Virgin Black which is a very good band, what a pity that I know only 1 song: it's called And the kiss of god's mouth or something like that, I'd really like to know more stuff and their style is unique.
Avrigus: Gothic Doom, definetely one of the best gothic bands I know, just awesome band, though their music is quite depressive, but it's just beautiful!
Pegazus: Good band, Power metal I think, I like very much the guitars

And I know there are lots of good bands, just that maybe there are some that aren't very known

wolfmother they are called vintage rock brand new sorta have a deep purple or sabbath sound

@ nick35: Really no point posting Wolfmother in the Australian METAL thread and ok they sound more Led Zeppelin style (that they have been compared with by many, just without the awsomeness and killer solos) than DP or BS ... and its about METAL not vintage rock.

Apologies for sounding agressive, its not meant to be. :S

The only aussie metal bands I like would be Lust (local wollongong band),Pathogen,because they played with Children Of Bodom and The Berzerker,The scene over all is pretty big.

Recently, I heard music by this Aussie band called L.O.R.D. They're power metal, not brilliant but enjoyable.

mortal sin was a good thrash band,infact the singer Mat informed me that the debut Cd Mayhemic Destruction will be released soon.
they had that Metallica sound doen on this cd,released in 1986.
check it out if you like good ole thrash.

Im just confused with some of the wording there, sorry.

So are Mortal Sin still around or? Because you said "was a good thrash band" and also do you mean they're sound is like 1986 Metallica?

Sorry just want to follow up on this band

Well, they did break up, in 1991, but they're together again now with about 2 or 3 new members and 2 old ones or something like that. They released something this year I believe. So yeah, they are active.

Mortal sin still exists infact i'm waiting for lead singer Mat let me know when the reissue cd is out.

their debut cd sounds like Metallica during the 5/86 era,good solid thrash,metal forces bernard doe gave it a 100 points.

Cool i'll have to check them out, havent heard of them before but your making sound pretty good with refering them to '85/'86 Metallica

back in the 80's i heard angel city,bengal tigers,heaven but mortal sin was the one i was impressed with.they have web site,try to look it up and if you get in touch with mat,,tell him darryl from hawaii says hello.

You have the nick of the best Australian band, you know it? Alchemist, the best from Australia and one of the bests of the world. They play a experimental progressive death metal. give a listen somewere, i think you will like it.

Well, I didn't know about this band, but sounds interesting, which bands are similar to them?

Being an Aussie and seeing these bands live.
Gosepel of the Horns, Fuck...I'm Dead and Parkway Drive are my three favorites.
I strongly recomend Parkway Drive's Smoke Em If Ya Got Em track, sheer brilliance.
I also recomend Carpathian they are a hardcore band and are very talented.
Give them a look up you will be surprised.

^^ Parkway Drive are a metalcore band so "sheer brilliance" is a matter of opinion. Seen them live a couple of times and their meh, ok at best. Not my kind of music though.

M.S.I is a Tasmanian death metal band and a great one at that, seen them live once they are great on stage. I got their 'Dream The Serenade' album today (which comes with a DVD of a live performance at one of the clubs here) which is great. Worth while band checking out this if your a death metal fan.

Parkway played down at the youth centre not too long ago,they are actually pretty good,you have to admit the guitarist can solo if he wants to

Mmm I wasnt impressed that much by the guitars, but they did play well together on both occations. They dont appeal to me, parkway Drive are just another metalcore band with nothing special that stands out in my eyes.

Theyr sound is not compared to any band, but we can ear some Opeth influencies and a some electro stuff like Prodigy, some sludge parts like Isis or Cult of Luna, the drums are very good, with mutch diferent things, the voice goes from a clean vocal of Dark Tranquillity (ex. Projector album) to a Agressive vocal like Mastodon. We ear also some (few) screams like Cradle of Filth but in this case are good creams.
I think that the more i try to explain the sound of this band, the more i get far from it. This band is a soup of styles

I only know:

- Alarum
- Virgin Black
- diSEMBOWELMENT

these last two are doom, and the first, Prog... I really like Alarum!

Well everyone has their own opinion.

^^ Very true, but mainly because ive been breed on the death metal that Tassie has brewing down here. Brutal gorey stuff, bands like Psycroptic, M.S.I, Born Headless, Corpse Carving, Goreverk, Internse Hammer Rage, Cranial Devourment ... some of which that would put Cannibal Corpse's lyrics to shame

There is also a band called Hollow Point Hate,they are fairly big,some of the members go to my school.I'm not sure what kind off metal you would describe them as................they are very 'screamy'

@Xtreme Jax - I will definatley have to give them all a shot. I would of never of though Tassie to be the state that brings out death metal. Thanks for the names.

Well its even harder for Tassie bands to get the name across to the mainland, so not suprised some of the names arent heard.
And my oh my do we breed them here, specially in the Hobart area. The brutal and extreme metal sound just gets bounced around here so much ... it great, seems like we've got our own little sestpool down here thats almost untouched lol. We also have a desent amount of Black metal aswell ... some of which is so raw and dark, it really creeps me out. The main one that comes to mind for the black metal is Striborg.

If you want to know more just pm me and im happy to get our music out. Ive been doing it with Psycroptic since ive been here .. which i STRONGLY suggest!!

Yeah I have actually heard about some black metal from tassie one of them being a one man band but i can not recall the name. Lol tassie could produce a new wave of DM could be inteligantly named Tasmanian Death Metal, Familiar to Norweigain Black Metal.

Hahaha, dude i like your style of thinking 'Tasmanian Death Metal' .. sounds great to me!

Oh the one man band your talking about is Striborg. The music is sooo cold, dark, raw and empty ... gives me chills, but in saying those to describe the music it does create atmosphere, just a dark cold nocturnal one... black metal fans must check Striborg out.

I'm sure he can, but all he ever does is a lame little tapping thing for 10 seconds, prompting the god-awful spirit fingers from the moronic hardcore kids. Overall, I found Parkway really boring live.

Daru Jericho - LORD are great . I saw them live a few weeks ago and they blew me away - Lord Tim (singer/guitarist) is amazing, and you could tell the whole band was very much into it. If they ever tour the UK, you should definitely check them out.

I must say Dungeon and Black Majesty are two very good power metal bands!

Definately. Black Majesty is one of our best Power Metal bands IMO. They are the ones who often open for international Power Metal bands when they come to Australia. They opened for Dragonforce a couple of months ago, and they will be opening for Nevermore in October.

I think the Australian Metal scene is really kicking off! There's a tonne of awesome bands.. Like Psycroptic, Fuck... I'm Dead, Cromlech, Dissension, Kill For Satan, Kania, Corpse Carving, The Dead, Gutteral Bleeding, Pathogen, Inane Eminence, Crainal Devourment, Rake Sodomy, Astriaal, Abyssic Hate, Alarum, Akuma, M.S.I, Intense Hammer Rage, Sakkuth, The Amenta, The Day Everything Became Nothing (they don't sound as good live), Vaginal Carnage, Transending Mortality... heaps more.
