News : Sonic Forge Festival: final announcements, set times, and giveaways

It’s only a week to go until the rather monstrous Sonic Forge Festival takes place at Melbourne’s Esplanade Hotel, and finally, all of the details are out. Aura Vale, Elm Street, Desecrator, The Mung and The Seaford Monster are among the new additions to the lineup (and don’t forget that Negura Bunget pulled out due to injury). Set times are down the bottom, and right here is a list of the free things you can win simply from attending. All you have to do is buy a pre-sale ticket, turn up at the door, and tell them which you’d want. Keep in mind there are limited numbers of each though, so the earlier you get there, the better chance you have of getting the one you want.

• CHAOS DIVINE ‘The Human Connection’ (Album) X 30
• A MILLION DEAD BIRDS LAUGHING ‘Force Fed Enlightenment’ (Album) X 30
• THE SCHOENBERG AUTOMATON ‘EP’ (EP) x 100
• IN MALICE’S WAKE ‘The Thrashening’ (Album) x 30
• ORPHEUS ‘Bleed The Way’ (Album) X 5
• EYE OF THE ENEMY ‘The Weight Of Redemption’ (Album) x 5
• HEMINA ‘Synthetic’ (Album) x 5
• SYNTHETIC BREED ‘Perpetual Motion Machine’ (Album) X 20
• SYNTHETIC BREED ‘Fractured’ (EP) X 10
• UNTRUTH X ‘Sons of The Vanquished’ (Single) x 75
• KING PARROT (EP) x TBC

On top of that, the first 100 people through the door with a pre-sale ticket get a copy of The Euphony Fusion IV compilation as well.

See you there!
