News : Vanishing Point to headline Stormrider Heavy Metal Festival
Melbourne premier progressive metal band Vanishing Point have been chosen to headline Stormrider Festival, the Perth based heavy metal festival celebrating the best in traditional, power, thrash and prog metal at the Amplifier Bar in Perth on Friday, 17th June 2016..
