Blacken Forever is a nationwide celebration of music and solidarity, uniting Australia’s heavy metal community to Save The Black Wreath. From the biggest cities to the heart of the Dead Centre, concerts will erupt simultaneously across the country. Over thirty of Australia’s heaviest bands will take the stage across six cities on the final day of the crowdfunding campaign, creating a national wall of noise and determination. Blacken Forever proves this movement is bigger than the Dead Centre of Australia. The Black Wreath is a heavy metal institution, and this community will stand together and refuse to let it go without a fight!
