⚔️ FLESHFEST 2026 – A GATHERING OF THE DAMNED ⚔️
🔥 Local Australian Hardcore Metal | No Mercy | No Compromise 🔥
If hardcore heavy music is your therapy and local metal is your lifeblood, this is your night.
We promise you a full-contact collision of the local Australian heavy metal / hardcore underground — no gimmicks, no tribute bullshit, no mainstream metal. Just riffs, rage, and sweat dripping from the ceiling.
This is pure, local, blood-and-bone hardcore heavy metal for those who still believe gigs should hurt a little!
This one’s for the real ones. The lifers. The pit veterans. The metalheads and hardcore fans who still believe heavy music is meant to be dangerous, loud, and earned.
