After a sell-out event in Perth in September 2020, SLAYFEST heads south to FREMANTLE on SATURDAY 27 MARCH to serve up a west coast smorgasbord of WA MADE METAL in the open air surrounds of PORT BEACH GARDEN BAR and the historical confines of THE RAILWAY HOTEL (Est. 1894)

Featuring 21 bands of locally brewed brutality across 2 stages, plus Karaoke, Metal Militia DJ’s, Food Truck Tucker and head bangin’ vibes, Perth’s annual metalfest SLAYFEST is set to bring on another Kracken day for heavy music fans in the west.

WA MADE live acts set to rise from the deepest, darkest depths of lockdown this March are:

Ripping apart folk metal with a merciless assault, CLAIM THE THRONE are back to deliver their extreme take on melodies for fans of epic and brutal alike.

15 years ago CLAIM THE THRONE made their entrance to the Perth metal scene with a full length album and a fantasy novel to match, but what really caught people’s attention was the band’s live show that oozed with an Aussie party attitude and a strange style of metal that had yet to be seen within Australian shores, going on to release highly acclaimed albums, regular worldwide touring and festival appearances in the UK, Europe, Asia, USA and Canada.

Perhaps their biggest accomplishment was being the first Australian band to appear on the 70,000 Tons of Metal Festival Cruise.

It has been nearly 3 years since CLAIM THE THRONE played a live show, but now in 2021 the band return to the stage to headline Slayfest! Expect to see this classic act at the top of their game and determined to treat long time Perth supporters to an epic and unforgettable show!

GROTESQUE combine a special blend of modern technical death metal and groovy old school riffing – bringing a unique original sound into the mix. Fans of Decrepit Birth, Deeds of Flesh and Dying Fetus wont be disappointed!

Following a ferocious return to the stage at Slayfest 2020, Perth death metal legends INFECTED backed it up with their first headline appearance in over a decade to a packed Rosemount Hotel in December. Originally only planned as brief return to the scene, the band have found themselves reinvigorated by the shows and hungry for more. They return to Slayfest this year not as a reunion act but as a fully reformed beast, ready to crush more ears – and perhaps even forge new material – in 2021.

Like the rest of us, CRYPT CRAWLER are happily bunkered down in their hometown of Perth, where they can be found mixing up old school death metal with modern death metal to produce music described by Mitch Alexander on Triple J’s ‘The Racket’ as sounding like a denim vest dug up from a grave. 2020 saw CRYPT CRAWLER expand their discography with the release of their EP, ‘BLOOD SUSTENANCE.’ which showcases further development to the band’s established sound, taking inspiration from Swedish Death Metal.
