Soundwave Festival head honcho, AJ Maddah has informed his followers on Twitter that Australian metal is definitely on the cards for the Soundwave Festival next year.

Ne Obliviscaris are the latest local metal talent to be mentioned to AJ via his Twitter feed to support the Soundwave Festival.

AJ is keen to get them on board, if there is room left over. Ne Obliviscaris recently supported The Devin Townsend Project in Melbourne in early October, and have recently been chosen to support Between The Buried and Me and The Contortionist on their upcoming Australian tour starting this week. Check for dates in our gig guide.
