Just Say Rock Productions is proud to announce that on New Years Eve and New Years Day, Australia's inaugural SCREAMFEST will take place at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. Never before has a metal event of this magnitude been held on our shores. No less than 9 international acts and 10 local artists will be performing over two days for what will be the first Australian metal festival of the calibre of other prestigious European and overseas events. Come and experience the best ever metal acts assembled in Australia for a single event. SCREAMFEST is destined to make history and ensure a New Year's eve to remember. A range of heavy metal genres will be showcased by a exciting array of some of the worlds leading international artists including Cynic, Dark Funeral, Destroyer 666, Malevolent Creation, Edguy, Ensiferum, Rotting Christ, Sonata Arctica and Spawn of Possession. This will be enhanced further by some of Australia's best local artists such as Black Majesty, Vanishing Point, Virgin Black, Universum, Eyefear, Synperium, Eye Of The Enemy, Killrazer, Defamer and Darker Half . Of the international artists, six of them, Cynic, Dark Funeral, Ensiferum, Rotting Christ, Sonata Arctica and Spawn of Possession, have never played in Australia so this will allow fans to see these acts live for the first time. The festival also welcomes once again those artists who have toured down under in particular Edguy and Destruction who fired up crowds on previous tours. It's a real coup for the festival that after 7 successful year's overseas Australia's prodigal sons, Destroyer 666 has agreed to play for their home crowd fans. A few words about the overseas bands: Cynic - One of the most respected and influential acts of their time. Recently reformed and will travel to Australia on the back of a critically acclaimed new release, "Traced In Air" that came out at the end of last year. Dark Funeral - One of the biggest names in the Black Metal scene in the world. They have a legion of fans and are an institution within the genre. Destroyer 666 - The long awaited return of one of Australia's most prominent metal bands. This will be a "homecoming" that is well overdue and much anticipated. They will be coming down on the back of their long overdue album, "Defiance". Edguy - They would have to be close to currently being the most well known of the Power Metal artists in the world today. Surpassing nearly all in their genre, they are at the forefront of the Power Metal scene and they continue to re-define the manner in which this genre evolves. Ensiferum - A remarkable melodic Viking Metal band from Finland. They are well on top of their game and at the forefront of their genre with so many loyal and dedicated fans of the band and of this genre. They will be here on the back of their new release. Malevolent Creation - MALEVOLENT CREATION is one of the premier Death Metal bands in the genre. They continue to pound out a sound that holds them at the top of their genre with no sign of the status quo on the horizon. Rotting Christ - Greece's biggest metal band in history bar none. Touring on the back of their 20th anniversary as a band and coming to Australia for the very first time to perform to their numerous fans. Sonata Arctica - One of the most exciting, popular and appealing young metal rock bands currently on offer. Will perform in Australia for the very first time and wow, do they have appeal within the genre! They too, will also be coming down on the back a new release. Spawn Of Possession - A small coup within itself, this technical, yet brutal Death Metal act is now fronted by the original ex-Psycroptic vocalist, Matthew Chalk, and they will be here for the very first time. The local artists are all first class. Black Majesty is arguably Australia's most popular Power Metal band, closely followed by Vanishing Point and Eyefear. The bands are all signed to major European labels with plenty of overseas tours and local headline shows under their belts. Indeed they are the heavy weights of the local scene in their genre and all with international recognition and appeal. Virgin Black also falls into this category albeit they are in a different genre. They are certainly one of the groups leading the charge overseas and making their mark in doing so. This is to take nothing away from Synperium, Eye Of The Enemy, Universum, Killrazer, Defamer, and Darker Half. All of these acts are young with tremendous achievements to date and all acts have locally supported some of the biggest names in metal in the world such as Children Of Bodom, Cradle Of Filth, Sodom, Paul Di Anno, Vader, Carcass, Krisiun, and Dragonforce to name but a few. This will be an event to remember. Unfortunately entry is limited by the venue's capacity. However those lucky enough to snare tickets will see in the New Year in style.
