One of a few massive seriously metal lineups this weekend, this one raising money for some french metal dude to stay in the country. From The Corner:

“FESTIVAL DE LA GRENOUILLE (Festival of the Frog), brings together 8 of Melbourne’s leading metal bands, for a massive night of metal across 2 stages! As many already know, Ne Obliviscaris acquired a remarkable new lead guitarist, Benjamin Baret, from France in August, 2008. With his current visa expiring this August, Benjamin’s main hope of staying in Australia long term is a ‘Distinguished Talent’ visa that would extend his stay in Australia at least another 4 years. The only catch, is that it costs more money to apply than he or the band has, (typical broke metal musicians…) and so this amazing line-up has been put together to raise the money for Benjamin’s visa, to help keep him in Australia long term; to help keep a frog an Aussie!”

A whole heap of shredding, screaming and double kick mayhem featuring:
Eyefear
Ne Obliviscarus
Alarum
Be’Lakor
In Malice’s Wake
The Ocularis Infernum
A Million Dead Birds Laughing
Primordial Space
