OVERCRANKED IS ON HOLD AS WE WATCH THE CURRENT MUSIC TRENDS, SO WE CAN BRING YOU THE BEST LINE-UP POSSIBLE - WE WILL NOT SACRIFICE THE QUALITY AND INTEGRITY OF THE FESTIVAL, SO WE WILL WAIT UNTIL THE RIGHT HEADLINERS - THE ONES WE WANT, ARE AVAILABLE. STAY TUNED...
.
WHAT THE MEDIA RECKONS:
“..The riff-filled monster that is ‘In The Meantime (Helmet)’ is a fitting end to a near-perfect festival, which manages to out-PLUR its dance music equivalents and give the big guns a real run for their money in the music stakes as well” – excerpt from Time-Off review Mar 28
“..With Soundwave, Taste of Chaos and Gigantour now also on the heavier end of the yearly festival schedule, its good to see something born of Brisbane rather than imported for a change…” - excerpt from Rave review Mar 27
“Overall Overcranked produced a fantastic day of heavy excess and with good crowd numbers, the metal concert franchise promises to continue to be a highlight of the Brisbane calendar. Bring on the brutality of 2008” - excerpt from Scene review Mar 28
CHECKOUT SOME PIX OF THE DAY!!

"This is a band doing something new for extreme metal in Australia and is pushing boundaries, and at such a young age. They have a big future in Australian metal" - Ben Fogarty : Assidian Records
"Heavy as absolute f*ck; a relentless volley of cataclysmic riffage, jackhammer drumming and truly demonic vocals – Sam Dishington’s roars are so low they’re almost subterranean... The Motionless Apocalypse is a truly impressive piece of work." - Tom Wilson : Sauce Magazine
"Separatist have created what can only be described as a massive sound. It seriously kicks you in the face with powerful and often technical guitar riffage that will instantaneously make your body pulsate into a headbanging frenzy... Look out Death Metal, Separatist is coming to dominate you!." - Brendan Amos : Metalobsession. net
