hell bent for metal

When we were at Wacken ‘08, the offi­cial news­pa­per had an arti­cle about the festival’s plans for extra-continental dom­i­na­tion and it quite clearly stated that Aus­tralia would be the first coun­try out­side of Ger­many to get it’s own Wacken-branded metal festival.

Shortly after we left, Wacken Rocks Brazil was announced, and once again us Aussies grum­bled about being left out.

Now it turns out the Brazil­ian fes­ti­val, sched­uled for May, has been post­poned. No doubt due to the GFC^TM*.

Bug­ger, eh. This kind of thing sucks for every­one. Here’s hop­ing things pick up.
