Melbourne Metal Mates are rallying to raise money for independent radio station Triple R with a gig on Saturday, December 13, 2025 from 7pm at The Workers Club in Fitzroy, in partnership with Brutal Realms. Performances include sets from Eye Of The Enemy, Dreadnaught, RUN, Transience and Carthus.
There will also be a World Record Attempt for Longest Metal Scream by Fluffy from Katana Cartel, as well as two songs from Eye of the Enemy that have never been played live before. Tickets include entry in a door prize draw.
Melbourne Metal Mates founder, Kat Wartooth, wanted to support metal on independent radio in Melbourne and Triple R was the natural choice: “Stu Carlson from Brutal Realms is broadcast on Triple R,” she said. “Stu was one of our earliest supporters and the first person to interview me on radio. It was a natural choice to fundraise for an organisation that promotes heavy music across Melbourne’s airwaves. Triple R do so much to encourage live music with their gig guides on air and on their website, by holding gigs at their onsite venue, by interviewing local artists and promoting Australian music running shows like Brutal Realms, The Graveyard Shift, LiveWire, Live at Triple R and Represented.
As music and arts become more homogenised, artificial intelligence (AI) begins to infiltrate niche music genres and media organisations tend towards having common parent companies, it is becoming more and more important to support organisations that are independent in order to protect grassroots music communities and keep the live scene thriving.”
