Bringing the classic sound of 80's and 90's metal are Valmara, for those who like their metal of the Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth flavour.

After re-igniting their flame earlier this year to a huge crowd, Valmara have been gigging regularly and drawing attention. Catch this well-drilled outfit on Friday 20th Nov early.

Sci-fi/prog outfit Terror Adaptors have recently evolved (adapted?!) into an audio-visual feast with thier 6-piece featuring drums AND percussion. If science fiction with progressive-industrial metal tones sound like your vibe, then look no further!

Having impressed crowds at many gigs around Perth, "the Terrors" have well earnt their place with their stage show and their metal aptitude. Get in early on Friday 20th Nov to catch them.
