and in later years nu metal, industrial, hard rock, progressive rock and hardcore bands took to the various stages. This caused some discontent among some sections of the heavy metal fan base, but MFTB remained the single largest event on the calendar for Australian metal fans. Overseas touring commitments for Alchemist meant the festival was not held in 2004, but returned in February 2005. That year, smaller versions of the festival were held in Brisbane and Perth. Alchemist also played at these shows. On 25 July 2006, an announcement was made on the heavy metal radio show Full Metal Racket on Triple J that the festival that year would be the last. US death metal band Skinless headlined the show. In 2014 a documentary film, Metal Down Under, included a section on Metal for the Brain.
