It would hardly be the Sydney metal scene without Steel Assassins, and it wouldn’t be Steel Assassins without a late reshuffle announcement.
This year’s festival will be headlined by NWOBHM legends Raven as part of their national tour with Peruvian metalheads Hyena (who are also on the bill). Adelaide chaos lords Christ Dismembered have, unfortunately, had to withdraw from the show, so Sydney deathsters The Plague are taking their place. The rest of the bill includes Heaven, Temtris, Iron Hawk, Automation, Aardvark, Roadkill, Butterfly, Evocatus, Dirty Pagans, Cult of the Night, Scholar of Sin, Ace on Fire and Lithik.
Steel Assassins is at the Bridge Hotel in Sydney on 8 and 9 November.
