BARBARIÖN are powerful and fertile MEN and they are ready to conquer your face..

The Barbariön stage show combines historically inaccurate, sexually ambiguous and highly flammable costumes with hastily assembled pyrotechnics in confined spaces along with ‘carefully’ choreographed guitar moves and plenty of exposed flesh. There is rarely a dull moment. Furthermore, they hold the mantle of the heaviest band in Melbourne with a combined weight of nearly 700kgs

Early in 2007 Myles-Harald Tauchert decided to combine his love of 80s metal and hazardous camp theatrics to create a band of heady excess. Seeing as nobody liked him much he had to settle for a bunch of eastern suburb b-graders and has-been, shabby Melbourne musicians who together are BARBARIÖN.

Since then they have managed to hammer, weld and bash together all manner of hard-core rock and soft-core metal concepts into a sound that makes some people.. uncomfortable. See their contender for film clip of the year here: http://vimeo.com/22506211 BARBARIÖN - My Rock
