So recently I've been getting into Portal and StarGazer and I'm really liking what I hear. Are there any other impressive death metal bands from Australia that I should look into? |

Well, there is Destroyer 666 which are Black/Death/Thrash metal. Very well made extreme metal that about 5-6 years ago I became an instant fan of them. There is also Nazxul which are symphonic Black Metal. I wasn't too fond of their music as they apply a lot of blast beats and not enough change and well-thought out structure in their sound but nonetheless you might find them shall we say... Interesting! Not exactly what you were looking for but I think it's close enough. |

Anatomy, Bestial Warlust, Hunters Moon, Gospel of the Horns, Atomizer, and of course Destroyer 666 and the Amenta |

Btw, if you like Portal, you could check out Impetuous Ritual, they share a couple of members. It's insane death metal, somewhat similar to Portal as expected. |

It's funny. I'm Australian and generally can't stand Australian metal. Most of them sound amateurish when compared to overseas stuff. |

It's just a lack of interest in what's coming out of the US in terms of "death" or "thrash" metal these days. I think I only listen to sludge and stoner stuff from the US now. But I will admit that a lot of the stuff from Australia sounds unprofessional, but I like my metal raw, so I'm enjoying it. |

Out of curiosity, was Wilcock still working with Berzerker when he was in Akercocke, or did he just flat out leave? |

I'd have assumed he left too, since he did tour with the 'Cocke and everything. Still, considering The Berzerker is basically Luke Kenny plugging his guitar into a laptop, it's not unreasonable to suggest Matt could have emailed a riff or three over. Speaking of Akercocke, although they're playing small gigs here and there Jason's busy with his young family. Apparently Matt and David have started a new project, The Antichrist Imperium, which doesn't sound good for the band, but according to Digby Pearson (*pinch of salt*) they've not split up. |

That really sucks but if they have announced a splitup outright, then who knows about newer material. I'm really hoping they can release one more album under the Akercocke banner, their last two were stellar |

Indeed, it would be a shame if they couldn't put out at least one more album...thanks for the update, Zad. |

The bassist is in Order of Apollyon and that kinda blows. |
