MySpace a place for friends

From its humble beginnings four years ago as an idea between friends, Against The Grain Festival has always prided itself on the idea of growth, with festival organisers Lee Gardiner and Jason North working tirelessly throughout the year to ensure that each year, Australia's premier all ages all Australian metal festival gets bigger and badder year in year out. After four years of bringing the crème de le crème of Australian acts to Adelaide on one day, the question Truth Inc Records was faced with, how can we make ATG5, bigger than all before it?? And the obvious answer, move the venue, double the bands and this time around, bring all the metal genres together, and bring the finest Australian acts the country has to offer. Previous Against The Grain festivals have showcased the countries metal / thrash bands, but with metal culture flourishing worldwide, and its audiences tastes expanding, ATG 5 will feature not only the Australia's best metal acts, but it will showcase the best and up and coming Grind metal, Death Metal, Thrash Metal, Black Metal, Folk Metal and more, over two stages, September 19th 2009 at Fowlers Live- Adelaide. Always using the legendary ‘Metal For The Brain’ fest as a benchmark, this year the Truth Inc Records team can boast THE metal line up it has been working to achieve over the last five years.

Against The Grain 5, this year will undoubtedly herald Adelaide as Australian metals new home as the finest bands under the 'metal' umbrella display their own variants of the many sub genres they represent, not only showcasing metal as a whole, but demonstrating outstanding song writing and musicianship, making Against The Grain a true exhibition of metal as an artistic medium.
