[Tittiesandbeer]

On Tuesday May 24 as part of the 2011 WAMi Festival, the Bakery complex will play host to a heavy metal showcase, organised by Soundworks in conjunction with WAM.

Showcasing the current diversity and calibre of local original metal, the evening will feature performances from established metal rockers and WAMi Award nominees Chaos Divine, WA metal stalwarts Enforce and youngsters Empires Laid Waste.

Established metal band Chaos Divine are up once again for Best Hardcore/Metal Act, following nominations in both 2009 and 2010, and will be closing the Tuesday night showcase. The band, renowned as one of Australia?s premier metal bands, have received a number of industry awards and critical acclaim for their albums and live performances.

Regulars on the Perth metal scene, Enforce, will be pulling out all the stops to excite at the showcase. Since forming in 1997, the band has supported a number of high profile national and international metal acts and continue to be quiet achievers on the Australian metal scene.

Young 5 piece Empires Laid Waste will complete the showcase lineup. Fresh from released their first album, ?The Age of Decay?, in November 2010, the band are preparing to embark on their first national tour in August 2011.

Doors for the showcase open at 7.30pm, and tickets are $10. For those in the industry, the International Touring Panel workshop presented by Soundworks Touring will be happening at the Bakery directly before the showcase from 6-7.30pm, costing $5 for non-WAM members (free entry to workshop for members).

The Soundworks WAMi Festival showcase is being held as part of a week long showcase series at the Bakery, featuring live music from a number of genres from jazz and blues through to heavy metal.

Will definitely see you there! I've been looking forward to seeing Enforce live for probably 8 or so years. Chaos I havent seen since they supported Slayer at the tin shed, and I've never heard Empires, so this should be a very interesting gig, and Im really pumped about it! Fuck I love being in the city now. Life is gooooood.

pathetic turnout.... but fuck the bands tore it up! Empires, who I had never heard, were pretty damn cool! Very tasty metal, and right up my alley.

Speaking of alleys, I just about had a prolapse when I first heard Enforce. Ive waited YEARS to see this band, and they are pretty much the exact kind of heavy I like! Very well played, obviously a tight unit and you can tell they have played together for years. Unfortunately next time you guys plays Im back in Gero on my fortnightly children visit, but every time Enforce play and Im home, Im there dude! I think I may have found my new favourite local band.... though its a toss up with....

Chaos Divine - Ive been a fan from the very start, but havent seen you guys since Slayer at the tin shed. Tight as fuck, dynamic, epic... what more could you want?
Oh, Simmo - that PRS... what an awesomely tasty sounding guitar that is! I was almost melting when you first fired that baby up.

All in all, a cool night, but I thought there would have been a few more people there, especially considering the bands on offer. Still, to all those that did go, well done for supporting the scene and the bands.

Thanks mate I appreciate it! Yeah I just bought a new amp and that was the first gig I've played with it. That guitar and that amp makes me jizz a little! I'm loving it.

Thanks to those of you who showed up and stuck around so late on a school night. Can't expect a huge turnout on a Tuesday night at a venue most people have never been to so it was good to see a few people rock up.

it was a practice night for us!!!!  .. Glad we put a smile on someones dial... good to get feedback... gigs a plenty for Enforce to come..stay tuned!!!!!
