SLAYFEST 2018 

2nd & Final Line-up Announced

.

.

.

On 9 March 2007, the multi-stage indoor festival SLAYFEST was presented at a packed out Capitol & Amplifier Bar in Perth to showcase Australian live acts in the genres of metal, rock, and hardcore. In 2018, in what will be 11 years on almost to the day, SLAYFEST comes out of hibernation to celebrate with an almighty “REUNION” starring a
hand-picked selection of the best Australian heavy acts from yesteryear and today, in one huge night of reformation and flashback fury at the place it all started…… Capitol and Amplifier in Perth WA.

Joining the already announced huge all Aussie line-up of PSYCROPTIC, FULL SCALE, ABRAMELIN, MUTT. FROM THE RUINS, CHOKE, CADDIS, BEERFRIDGE, and UNRAVEL.
.

.

TOE TO TOE:
Toe to Toe mean a lot to the Australian hardcore punk community. A
soundtrack for outsiders and outcasts since 1992 – the band spearheaded the rebirth of Sydney hardcore and inspired countless bands with their no
frills, uncompromising passion, and intensity. 7 EP’s, 4 LP’s, a couple of
splits, compilation appearances and various other releases in, the band are as revered and relevant as ever, following the recent unleashing of the
latest LP, Rise Up.

.

.

DYSCORD:
From 2002 to 2011, Perth’s Dyscord made their presence known in the
Australian metal scene through ferocious live shows and a tireless work
ethic resulting in national tours with Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder, God Forbid, Psycroptic, and Daysend plus numerous international supports. In 2018, Dyscord will return to the stage for one night, playing songs from all 3 releases. Their trademark frenetic live show will be presented in full force and the 7-year gap between drinks ensures that this will be a very special night to remember.
.

.
VANADIUM:
Vanadium were the Southern Suburb Thrash Force from Western Australia from 1993 until 1997. Look out, more than 20 years later there’s movement, as they return to the fold in 2018 for Slayfest

.

.
BARE BONES:
Since their formation in 2013, Sydney’s Bare Bones have been all party and recklessness, a suspenseful maelstrom of off-kilter guitars and razor sharp vocals.  Recently Bare Bones joined the ranks of iconic heavy label Resist Records, Bare Bones released the long awaited debut full-length record, ‘Bad Habits’, a natural progression from their previous  two EP releases ‘Villians’ and ‘Cut Throat Living’, and have gone on to hold their own on-stage supporting the likes of The Bronx, Stonesour, Every Time I Die to Northlane, Black Label Society, and Cancer Bats.

.

.
MAXIMUM PERVERSION:
This Perth four piece band embodies extremities in music coupled with
deviant interpretations of the macabre and distasteful world in which we
live… returning from the abyss for Slayfest

.

.

POPULATION CONTROL:
Blurring the genre lines and borrowing from Grind, Death, Crust, Punk &
Hardcore.  Population Control join Unravel to represent Perth’s rising next gen at Slayfest.

PLUS DJ’S CAIN – POLLY & BONES – NICKY KNOX & CRAFTER

fire up the sounds behind the decks across all 3 stages.

Brewing up the good vibes in the Amplifier beer garden will be band merch, food stand and sets from comedians Slayfest brings it all back in 2018
