Welcome to the new and improved Aussie Metal Guide!
Check out the Gig Guide now.
After eight years of mucking around with Geocities and FTP sites, The Australian Metal Guide is now a wiki! This means it's quicker and easier to edit and update for the editors, and easier for other users to correct mistakes or make suggestions. Unlike other wikis, the content is protected from editing by anyone except registered editors. This is to avoid vandalism and wanton editing of the pages. To contribute to the site, you must first create an account, and you will need to log-in when you visit. Should you wish to contribute check out the Guidelines and Help page first! I cannot stress this enough. Entries or edits that do not follow the established guidelines will be changed or re-edited until they do.
The two main sections of the Aussie Metal Guide are the band/artist pages and the Gig Guide. By using a wiki, we hope to able to list every metal/hard rock show happening in Australia and thereby allow you to plan who you want to go see and, if you're a band or promoter, what your next gig might be clashing with!
Our aim for this site is to eventually provide a complete resource when it comes to metal in Australia by providing complete bios on bands and artists as well as information about venues, festivals and anything else we think important.
To navigate the band pages, enter a band/artist name in the search box to the left, or use these two special pages:
- All pages - Every page on the site. This brings up every page, including pages that aren't about bands.
- All categories - State/city of origin or base location (some have one or the other, some have both)
For enquiries, gripes, suggestions, etc. leave a message on my page.
Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
