They will join headliners, Lagerstein, during the pirate metal band’s first performance in Wagga.
For musician Aidan Mungai, heavy metal was just a genre of music – not about conjuring images of Satan.
“It’s for people that like that certain guitar tone, drum tempo and vocal style,” Mr Mungai said.
“It comes down to performing a show and experience that people want to come back to time and time again.”
He said performers like Lady GaGa were a different side of the same coin.
Mr Mungai, a pianist and guitar player, encouraged people to support the local music scene whether it was metal, country music or rock and roll.
“People are getting sick of hearing the same six songs all the time and want to hear something interesting and original,” he said.
Doors at the Home Hotel’s bass bar open at 7pm.
As Flesh Decays begin at 7.45pm, followed by Saralisse at 8.45pm, Rainbowdragoneyes, a one man chip tune act starts from 9.45 and Largerstein hit the stage at 10.45pm.
Promoter Karl French said Largerstein were fresh from international touring and would be promoting their second album with their Wagga performance.
“Lagerstein perform a highly entertaining show that transcends the bounds of a live concert by delivering the ultimate party,” he said.
“Filled with high energy antics, crowd participation and a consistent quality of musicianship, a Lagerstein show is a one of a kind event.”
