On Saturday (13 December), Melbourne Metal Mates is holding a fundraiser gig for independent radio station Triple R—and hosting a World Record Attempt for the Longest Metal Scream.
The gig will take place from 7 pm tomorrow at The Worker’s Club in Fitzroy and will be held in partnership with Brutal Realms. Fluffy from the Melbourne hard rock band Katana Cartel will attempt the record, and in addition to Fluffy’s performance, five other bands are performing.
Melodic death metal band Eye Of The Enemy are headlining the event, where they’ll be accompanied by progressive thrash outfit Dreadnaught, blackened metalcore outfit R U N, progressive metal band Transience, and death metal act Carthus.
Tickets to the Melbourne Metal Mates event are just $20, and include entry in a door prize draw. In addition to the World Record Attempt for the Longest Metal Scream, Eye Of The Enemy will premiere two brand-new songs at the fundraiser. You can find tickets here.
In a statement, Melbourne Metal Mates founder Kat Wartooth explained that the organisation wanted to support metal on Melbourne-based independent radio for their last show of the year, and Triple R was the natural choice.
“Stu Carlson from Brutal Realms is broadcast on Triple R. Stu was one of our earliest supporters and the first person to interview me on radio. It was a natural choice to fundraise for an organisation that promotes heavy music across Melbourne’s airwaves,” Wartooth explained.

She added, “Triple R do so much to encourage live music with their gig guides on air and on their website, by holding gigs at their onsite venue, by interviewing local artists and promoting Australian music, running shows like Brutal Realms, The Graveyard Shift, LiveWire, Live at Triple R and Represented.
“As music and arts become more homogenised, artificial intelligence (AI) begins to infiltrate niche music genres and media organisations tend towards having common parent companies, it is becoming more and more important to support organisations that are independent in order to protect grassroots music communities and keep the live scene thriving.”
