 * Keep based on the evidence provided by shaidar cuebiyar it is clear that the article satisfies WP:Music, in particular criteria 4, in that the band has toured not only Australia but also Europe (twice). It would also appear that the band may satisfy criteria 5, in that it has released three albums on an important independent label(s), Inviticus (an independent Irish record label) and Hell's Headbangers Records (an independent US label). The band has also been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in reliable sources (as indicated above). Dan arndt (talk) 08:48, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * keep I searched and found similar results to @Shaidar cuebiyar (I didn't comment earlier because I thought he'd already found good results). I've added some to the article. there are some magazine interviews and reviews - not 100% sure if they're zines or full mags but the interviews are published online also and seem in-depth coverage. this music genre isn't one I know much about, but the sites seem to be representative of the styles. also found event listings and forums where people commented the band was a good example of the style in Aus (not that we can use those as RS, but sometimes they're useful to get a feel for what people in that community think about the bands as they'd know more in some cases). the band members seem to have changed often - there seems to be some crossover of band members with members of Deströyer 666 and Bestial Warlust (& again, though we can't really use some as references, people do seem to hold these members in high regard from what's mentioned in the comments/interviews/reviews). also I removed some of the external links (see Talk page) and tidied some commas - though there still seems to be many commas! I think the article needs a bit more work on grammar/sentence structure perhaps to improve it, but shouldn't be deleted. Kathodonnell (talk) 15:09, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets criteria #4 of WP:MUSIC, end of story. Lankiveil (speak to me) 22:04, 22 June 2011 (UTC).
