G'day from the chilly confines of Wall of Sound's HQ in Brisbane, Australia...
A far-removed geographical location from our recent journey throughout the United Kingdom and Europe's massive Summer Festival Circuit - where Boss Man Paul 'Browny' Brown and Work Experience/Tourist Wanker Jackson 'Jacko' Darmody found themselves front and centre at monumental events such as Download Festival's four-day 20th Anniversary celebrations at Donnington Park in England; Denmark's biggest heavy music gathering COPENHELL, situated along the picturesque riverside setting in Copenhagen; before wrapping up festivities in Belgium at the iconic Graspop Metal Meeting - where more than 80,000 metalheads stormed the gates to witness quite possibly the greatest Parkway Drive set of all-time.

But the Byron Bay Titans weren't the only Aussies we caught along the way; our mission was to capture the excitement and reactions of international fans witnessing our fav acts such as Polaris, The Amity Affliction, Stand Atlantic, Redhook and Pendulum - dominating stages and proving just how great the quality of music is down under... The end result, honestly, was nothing short of life-changing.
Throw in watching a bunch of internationals for good measure such as Metallica, Bring Me The Horizon,Architects, The Ghost Inside, Slipknot, SKYND, Fever 333, AVATAR, Electric Callboy, Asking Alexandria, Neck Deep, Pantera, Sleep Token, Lorna Shore, Kreator, Paledusk and Eluveitie, as well as a stack of new friends made from across the globe (and a bunch of Aussies who make the trek overseas as well) and you've got the makings of an EPIC AfterFilm (and bonus killer content) - which we are starting the post-production for as we speak.

From the absolute highs of sharing a plane (and tour bus) with a cast of heavy music's BIGGEST names, crowd surfing over thousands of metal fans, and visiting historical music landmarks throughout London; to the lowest lows of enduring Motley Crue's backing tracks, through to being stuck inside Manchester International Airport following simultaneous flight cancellations - with no support or baggage staff anywhere in sight!
The hilarious at times and insightful journey will no doubt have you planning your own domination in future years - convincing you to get your mates and head off overseas for your own experiences.
