Western Front

The Western Front Magazine was founded by David "War Master" Innes and Clayton (aka Grimoire) in 1994 with a vision to promoting the local metal scene in Perth. Since that time the Western Front has organised many promotions and gigs for local acts, including major international acts with thanks to the support and talent of such companies as Soundworks Touring. 

David and Clay we're both behind numerous interviews and reviews of the Perth metal acts, new and old; and helped produce a range of media (digital and print) which actively boosted the local metal scene.

Securing regular venues, such as the Whitesands hotel where the classic "Metalfests" began feature two stages and at least eight bands; the Western Front magazine worked tirelessly with others to enable metal-heads to have a safe, secure and friendly place to let down their hair and head bang into the night. Working together with legendary Perth bands such as Allegiance, the Western Australian metal scene was pinned firmly on the map.

In 2001, both David Innes and Clay handed over the reigns of the Western Front organisation to the very capable Darren (aka TNT). It has continued to grow exponentially since; achieving many goals and remains a power house influence in the Australia metal music scene.
