I wasnt aware that Psycroptic or Virgin Black had visited you guys, but its cool to hear they had. I wonder how was the response/turnout? Because as you know it costs more than a few shiny gold pieces to trek to Norway. I do know a number of promoters here in W.A as well as in the eastern and southern states so if you know of many bands that might 'pull' well there then give them a mention and ill see what the promoters and bands think if i know them. I have personal contact with a few of the bands i suppose, but the rest is through no more than mere emails which of course anyone can find should they look.

Some personal favourites from my homeland would be : Abyssic Hate, Impact Winter, Darklord, Nazxul, Portal, Hated By Humanity, Destroyer666, Pestilential Shadows, Lord Kaos (r.i.p/defunct) Disembowelment, Avrigus.. i could go on and on, but this is a short list of ones that i thouroughly enjoy.

Virgin Black hasn't been here yet. Only Psycroptic. They were warming up for Nile. (In fact I prefer Psycroptic, especially after hearing them live.) I think they got a lot of new fans at that concert though.

I bet Virgin black would pull in a good crowd. And probably Disembowelment and Destroyer666 too as those are quite known. But I do understand the problem with the money very much. Why can't bands get government support to go touring ? "HEY! Here are our bands, see how proud we are of them!"
