Get ready to shred, riff and rage at B’RATFEST 2, going down at The Painted Lady on Saturday, 31 January. Doors open 7:00 pm for a fierce line-up of heavy sounds, killer energy and underground attitude. Headlining the night are Distorta, Ballarat’s own groove/death metal force known for punishing riffs, thunderous grooves and an explosive live presence that pulls from groove, thrash, death and power metal traditions. Also on the bill: Yeah, Sick! — raw, high-energy rock, punk and metal-infused havoc Otrera — an intense, aggressive set from this hard-hitting outfit Primitive Deserters — gritty hard rock-meets-metal grooves, blending punchy riffs with gritty hooks Autophagia — chaotic, visceral and unrestrained heavy soundscapes from the underground And that’s just the start — more bands will be added to the lineup, promising a night full of heavy heat and stacked stages. Whether it’s the walls of sound, the moshing madness or discovering a new favourite band, B’RATFEST 2 is the place to be on 31 January. Don’t miss it.
