Nice Effort Chaos guys..
Ditto- well done guys!
When I talk to people over here at shows and mention I'm Australian, the first name that gets dropped is Psycroptic. Seeing as you guys are now recognised as being in the same calibre, and you're about to do some Euro shows, maybe I'll start hearing your name mentioned!
Good luck anyway dudes  :headbang:

Cheers and Trease that would be nice but we have got a long way to go for that to happen. Got some pretty extreme competition but hopefully with some luck we can win at least one category. :headbang:

Ive been a massive fan since the first moment I heard your songs all those years ago. I love Ando's vocals, the duel guitar work, the drumming and bass keeping the rythm flowing behind, and the epicness of your songs. Oh, and you all seem like cool dudes too, as an added bonus. I hope you win EVERY category!!  :headbang: Best of luck Chaos.

im pretty sure mostly all of the submitted entries would be from 2008 given the submissions started in late 08 and the cut-off date was early 09. Next years is likely to then contain mostly 2009 releases.

Maybe for 2010 we could have a category for best WA based metal Radio show that had done the most for the Australian Metal Awards for 2009.
