Sing Loud, Rock Out.
No matter what your experience - discover, explore, and challenge your voice, and sing the music you love: with strangers who become your mates, and a glory that lasts longer than karaoke night.
Did you know singing in a choir does all kinds of good stuff for our brains and emotional and social wellbeing?
(Also, metal music is a safe and healthy way to process feelings. But you already knew that.)
​
By learning to blend your voice with others in the Heavy Choir, even the darkest of souls will be fed with feel-good endorphins and a thrilling sense of social connection.
Remember, you're not alone in this crazy world. And that's a good thing, really.
"I turned up to my first Heavy Choir rehearsal several months ago, absolutely shitting myself...
OUR SERVICES
As the only musical experience on my CV was belting out metal classics in the shower. My neighbour told me last weekend he had recently heard singing coming from my bathroom window. I told him I had been practicing for the brewery gig and to just enjoy the great music!
Everyone involved with the choir has been welcoming, and I can’t wait to get there every Saturday. I now have an outlet to release my obsession with metal.
I still can’t believe I got the opportunity to sing metal in front of a crowd at the brewery gig. It was an amazing night, and I look forward to the next show." - Matt
