The Grindhouse (a misleading title for the gig, for it took some of us quite a bit of convincing to go because we thought it was going to be a grind gig) was held on 30th April. After a 1 hour delay, the gig finally kicked off at 8pm. 6 awesome bands, displaying the prowess of Asian death metal.

The lineup:
Stillborn
GrindButo (Indonesia)
Truth Be Known
Lacerate (Thailand)
GxSxD (Japan)
Defiled (Japan)

Is Rhapsody of Fire considered as Heavy Metal?

Guttered Down the Gutters: Xanadoo

This month, we gutter 3 young bloods full of rage in the heart of a shopping mall.

Xanadoo is when three random dudes with hair growing rage that is triggered by the extreme euphoria from being temporarily released from the clutches of our military forces.
(I know, that sentence is too much to digest, they are hard to digest too.)

Behind that facade of random retardedness, I see that they are actually a strategic and organised mess.
Even after deep questioning if this was part of their future 'big plans', they remain truly local by 'acting blur'.

Let us hope that these boys will still be rocking out when they are gonna be pot-bellied and balding ah peks.
(Definitely not the case for Shiva since he has a forest growing on his chin.)

oh, ok. then I prefer power metal more

 

[justicesg]

Most of the genres overlap with each other I feel. I'm still stuck with industrial and gothic metals and I know some would argue they are not even metal to begin with.

Got Singapore connection.

The band was originally formed by the guitar playing frontwoman. Born in Seoul from Swiss parents, Nina spent her first nine years in South Korea and the following seven in Singapore. At the age of 16, she landed herself in Switzerland, where music got a hold of her when she was asked to join a band as a bassist though she had never touched the instrument before. She soon also taught herself to play the guitar and began to write songs. Setting up her own band was only a matter of time.

Norwegian Post-Black metal.

Angst Skvadron - Sweet Poison

 

[genie47]

Another number from Shining - Mörda dig själv

BTW, the lead is Kvarf. He seems to be immune to all sorts of drug and alcohol abuse. PLEASE! Listen to the music but don't model after him.

 

[genie47]

Again an example of pagan metal.

Sólstafir is the best in this area. Here is their number Köld
