Congratulations to all those recruits who made it onto the CD, and to those who unfortunately didn't make it this time around, we encourage you to apply again for Volume 2 as this is an excellent opportunity for any serious musicians to promote their band!

The compilations were picked up today...they look and sound great (thanks to James Campbell and Stephen Murphy respectively!), and I look forward to finally getting it out there.

Speaking of which, if you would like to volunteer to help give out copies at Soundwave please put your hand up or let myself or Daz know as we plan to give them out to everyone as they exit the Claremont Showgrounds from approximately 10pm onwards after the Soundwave festival in Perth on Monday, 5th March 2012. Also, if you have a Western Front shirt and you're attending the Soundwave festival, please wear it to show your support and help us promote the long-serving site and compilation for all the bands.

A downloadable version of the compilation that features exclusive bonus tracks will also be available very soon, so watch this space over the next few days to find out who is included in the additional tracks!

Western Australia / MAKE THEM SUFFER sign to RoadRunner Records Australia

« on: February 24, 2012, 07:19:50 PM »

Perth?s Deathcore, Black Metal hybrid Make Them Suffer have signed to Roadrunner Records Australia.

On the back of the bands stunning Lord Of Woe EP, Make Them Suffer were brought to the attention of Roadrunner A&R execs after posting their tracks on Roadrunner?s Sign Me To site: A destination for unsigned bands to have their music reviewed by fans, peers and Roadrunner staff.

It was at this point that Roadrunner were intrigued to see if Make Them Suffer could execute this unique blend of modern extreme metal, neo-classical strings, dark piano lines, razor sharp riffing, crazy blast beats and roaring vocals in the live environment.  Seeing the band up close in a small sweaty club immediately verified this in spades The band sounded as good live as their EP had promised with the multiple layers of each track finding space amongst the chaos and complexity.

Now in 2012, Make Them Suffer are preparing the impending release of their debut full-length album Neverbloom.  Engineered by Roland Lim (Birds of Tokyo), who also produced the band?s Lord Of Woe EP, Make Them Suffer and Roland have taken everything up a notch to deliver a world class debut release capturing the depth, darkness, musical prowess and brutality that is Make Them Suffer.

You can check out the preview trailer to Neverbloom here.

Congrats to MAKE THEM SUFFER, who are featured on the up-coming WesternFront.com.au Australian Metal Compilation available for FREE at the Soundwave festival in Perth on Monday, 5th March!

International / Mike Smith Leaves SUFFOCATION

« on: February 24, 2012, 07:11:03 PM »

It would seem that drummer Mike Smith has split with Suffocation ? and under less-than-amicable conditions. He?s posted the below message on both his official website and Facebook page:


?There are not many things related to the suffocation brand I can honestly say brings me sadness. Except, the lack of pride that exists within those who have the ?right? to claim the name as their own.

?This battle has been one that to any focused being, should make obvious sense but has evaded some for 2 decades. Within any foundation the weakest link will always cause all structure to crumble.

?The one fact that keeps me at peace is the fact that anyone who has ever seen or spoken to me regarding Suffocation and the industry as a whole, has always left with an understanding of the level of focus and pride that I personally hold for myself, the brand that is Suffocation and the genre We influence and helped create.

?As I?ve always said, if you are willing to put your time and soul towards anything at
Be willing to speak truths, fight and bleed for it if need be.?

While nowhere in this post does Smith say he?s out of the band, it?s hard to read that and think that things are hunky dory. Meanwhile, Heavy Blog is Heavy reports that guitarist Terrance Hobbs has confirmed Smith?s departure on Facebook, although presently I do not see any such posts on either Hobbs? nor Suffocation?s FB pages, so either that confirmation has since been removed, or I?m a dope.

In any case, this news is a bummer. Smith was, of course, a founding member of the legendary death metal act, and while he?s left once before, in the early 90s, at this point he?s been back in the band for almost ten years. His drumming is a huge part of their sound.

That being said, Suffocation has persevered without him before. Dave Culross, who replaced Smith?s original replacement Doug Bohn in 1996 has also played with Malevolent Creation and Pyrexia, amongst others, seems to have stepped in for Smith, and that dude is no slouch ? so it?s hard for me to imagine that Suffocation won?t be able to survive without their original drummer.

Suggestions / Improving WF

« on: February 18, 2012, 07:03:44 AM »

I just noticed the Facebook thingy added to the home page, which is a cool addition.

Any chance of one like that for the forum with an up-date on the forum topics, or even integrating the home page into the forum?

Seems like most of the news and activity happens in here, and it's just kind of double-handling, as well as time consuming, having to post the info in both the forum and main page sections (as well as Facebook) leaving the latter a little left behind...just a thought anyway.

Also, are there any aspiring writers/journalists who would be interested in becoming a contributor for album/gig reviews and features?

A few volunteers would be ideal, as it would be great to see articles regularly.

If any photographers or film production enthusiasts are keen, it would also be cool to see more photos and/or footage from WF supported events.

More members and contributors on the east coast would be excellent too!

Do you have any suggestions to help improve WF?
