Thrash or F**k Off - Australian Thrash Metal

07/12/2024

The organisers of internationally renowned heavy metal festival, Metal for the Brain, were inducted in the Music ACT Hall of Fame on Tuesday evening.

The festival was founded by Joel Green and was run by members of the band Armoured Angel and Alchemist to raise money for brain injury research after their friend Alec Hurley was punched in the head in Civic and suffered severe and permanent brain damage.

Metal for the Brain ran in Canberra from 1991 to 2006 and drew acts from around the country and the world.

Looks like a sequel to the New Zealand metal horror/comedy classic Deathgasm is finally on the cards!

Help make Deathgasm 2 happen by supporting their crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter! Help the producers reach their fund goal and get yourself a sick merch bundle, your name in the credits, or even a prop from the film!

Campaign closes October 24. Get amongst it!

Sequel to the cult 2015 film Deathgasm.
