What can I say, except … what an awesome night!

Despite having possibly the worst weather we have seen this year – howling wind, driving rain and flooding roads – approximately two-hundred people found their way to the Deloraine Little Theatre for a great night of head-banging metal. The doors opened at 6:40pm to a foyer already full of eager young metal heads, ready for a pounding night of high energy noise.

Abyss kicked off the proceedings with a good cover of Breaking The Law. The guys worked the stage well throughout their set, getting a good response from the audience. The night was off to a good start. Hallowed Demise came on and immediately went into top gear. They pumped out some great high-energy numbers, utilising two singers for their set. Jamie Taylor did a great job on vocals for the first half of the set, with Warwick Bruce finishing off.

Vulgar came out for their set, and went ballistic from the first note. They had a great mix of classic thrash covers and originals that really got the crowd jumping and calling for more. They maintained the momentum right to the finish, ripping one song after another with hardly time to breathe in between … an awesome set.

Projection Of Aggression came on stage to finish the night, and played a fantastic set, with some killer guitar work from Josh (“Maggot”) Leslie and great vocals from Kyle Crimson. The last song of their set saw several people climb on stage to help sing the chorus – a great way to finish off the night.

With the night being so successful as a fund raiser, organisers are now looking at repeating the event next year, so look out for the next one.
