After a blistering 2022 with headline tours along the east coast and appearing at heavy fests including Thrashville, The New Dead Fest, Halloween Hysteria and the ultimate heavy metal pilgrimage held in the country’s red center, Blacken, the boys who make up Aussie sludge unit Black Rheno are ready to ignite once again, bringing their all-out brutal groove party to five key locations for an onslaught of riffs.

One of these shows, in particular, is shaping up to be quite the occasion. Black Rheno will be appearing at the two-day riot held in our country’s capital, Canberra Metal Fest. With a slew of incredible bands performing, such as Psycroptic, Misery, Abramelin, Werewolves, Flaming Wrekage and Pod People (and not just them – the list goes on), this will be one hell of an event. In fact, when you check out the full line up of each of the shows on this NSW mini tour it’s hard not to get excited. Mountain Wizard Death Cult, 12Gauge Rampage, Sumeru, Tired Minds, Disparo… Some definite line ups not to miss. Check the full details below and catch Black Rheno this summer as they bring the ruckus to stages around NSW.
