Prime Cuts Music in association with Brash Group & Soundworks are currently producing a double compilation CD of Australia’s biggest and most exciting metal acts.

Entitled A Blaze In The Southern Skies and featuring 32 tracks, this double CD will showcase the vast and diverse metal talent this great country has to offer.

Although being primarily used as a promotional tool to market these acts overseas, the CD will be made available to the Australian metal public via two massive launch shows in both Perth and Melbourne in celebration of this release.

The shows will only feature bands that have contributed to the CD.
