Brisbane has emerged as one of Australia's most exciting heavy music cities, with a raw, passionate scene that has produced some of the country's heaviest and most original bands.
Brisbane's heavy music scene punches far above its weight. The city has produced internationally touring metal acts with global fanbases, most notably Parkway Drive, who emerged from the Gold Coast to become one of the biggest metal bands in the world.
The heart of the Brisbane metal scene beats in Fortitude Valley, where dedicated venues like The Zoo and The Triffid have hosted countless historic shows. The DIY spirit runs deep in Brisbane metal.
Brisbane has been producing heavy music of note since the 1980s, with a thriving pub and club circuit that gave local bands the opportunity to develop and tour.
The success of bands like Parkway Drive, The Amity Affliction and I Killed the Prom Queen from the greater Brisbane region has cemented the city's place as one of Australia's most important heavy music centres.
