The Everblack Podcast sat down with the Froth & Fury Festival crew (Jason, Cassi and Anita) at Necrosonic 2025 to talk about building one of Australia’s most loved heavy music festivals, dream headliners, bucket-list bands, and why they put their hearts (and homes) on the line to make it happen.

The team reflect on the growth of Froth & Fury over the past five years, supporting local Aussie metal alongside international heavyweights like Soulfly, Aborted, Archspire and more. They also share stories about Adelaide’s scene, Perth expansion, corpse paint at kids’ parties, and why community is at the core of everything they do.
