CHRONIC REVIEWS
NOISE CONSPIRACY PROJECT [S/T] CDR PHILIPPINES
c/o Chuck Datuin 38 C. Raymundo Ave. Sagad, Pasig City 1600 Philippines
noiseconspiracyproject@yahoo.com / www.noiseconspiracyproject.tk / www.myspace.com/noiseconspiracyproject13
Out of the ashes of local grindcore monster Condemned, arises this equally lethal offshoot. Apparently, mastermind Chuck Datuin decided to form NxCxProject after Condemned was "split in half" and eventually put on hold due to various reasons. This 20 track straight-up live recording actually features tracks written for Condemned so those familiar with their previous material can expect violent alcohol fueled DIS-plays of crustpunk and grrrindcore. A definite must-have for fans of Swedish crust/hardcore, proto grinders like ENT, Abalienation, SOB (Japan), early Napalm Death and Agathocles whose song Hippie Cult was covered here along with a track by Warsore. Unlike the last Condemned release Armed Conflict, which featured some clean singing, this one maintains the savage dual throat molestation all throughout. Song topics still tackle with socially relevant issues, but don't label them "political" as the 13th track will shatter any possible misconceptions. I raise a bottle of strong beer in salute to these guys. Brian for No Bullshit! Zine

MASTER TITAN "First noise from hell" (Phil) CDR

a
ten-track deathgrindalcoholocaust not-for-your-mother's ear Ep from the
hooligans of Cavite/Laguna nice guitar executions,killer drumbeats, and
the vox sounded like a werewolf howling at the fullmoon (maybe he peed
on his pants,broken-off with his girlfriend, o sadyang natatae lang
talaga hahaha!!!) upon hearing this cd, these hoodlums would leave you
asking who's the most powerful SATAN, GOD. OR MONEY??? Answer this when
your girlfriends not around an2
PHLEGM THROWER "Southern Loser" (Phil) CDR
this
guys really know how to piss those who makes enemies out of them. This
records intention is for the assholes they say started some sinister
gossips about them. Hehehe. But that's just a
brief
history of this group so lets get down to their music which is so damn
good, a display of various influences, from thrash to grindcore to
brutal death nevermind those samplers which others would find annoying
because that's their real intention, to piss people hahaha!!! Good one
from these crazy bastards of Cavite an2
286 "Profiled" (USA) CD
hearing
286 music was like being transported back in time when good ol' rock n'
roll reigns. But hey, RNR is not dead and I myself believe this, so
expect the same intensity as those major bands could offer coz' this
guys truly rocks and oh by the way, being a frustrated guitarist myself,
I wish I was Martin Verry. Who's Martin? Well he's the axeslinger of
this awesome band. Check this guys out. An2
THE PARALISADOS "paralyzed in corruption, poverty, and human destruction" (Phil) CDR
Regz 09213755388
crustypunk offering from Urdaneta City,
Pangasinanthis contains 6songs, one of which is a Vit.X originalnice
execution of songs,fuckin"d.i.y./raw and dirty still rules. But hey! A
bad attempt on adding those stupid samplers, that's a big no no for me an2
COUP THE GRACE "Death to mankind" (Phil) CDR
I
felt like im in trance hearing the gorgeous voice of the group's lady
vox, and the sludgy clean guitar riff of Corix the Hunk, and the other
instruments as well my daydreaming stopped when they finally goes upbeat
on the preceeding tacks. Its nicer if they stayed on their goth-styled
influence, sort of a doom,sludgy-driven one. But hey, this is the
underground scene, everyones free to do whatever they like to do so I
salute this guys for their effort in coming up with this demo. An2
DOWN FROM THE WOUND [PIERCING THROUGH THE VEIL OF LIES] CDR PHILIPPINES
Kalawang Records randyl_dftw@yahoo.com / http://www.myspace.com/downfromthewound
The
past couple of years have seen the (re) birth of a small but thriving
Philippine brutal death-grind movement, which includes a handful of
talented and determined bands that if given the chance are capable of
putting bigger names to shame. It's also a pity how it still remains
virtually unnoticed by the international extreme metal scene. One of the
deadliest examples of modern "Flip" brutality is this latest four songs
offering from Down From The Wound. Its opening track creeps out from
behind the intro sample, proceeds to grab you by the neck, and pulls you
into the midst of an all out drum massacre. Then the initial assault is
all over in under a minute. At first I thought this was going to be
like their previous grindcore influenced releases, but by the middle of
the second song, one notices a vast improvement in the way songs are
structured. There are more parts, more things going on, but DFTW still
manage to maintain a level of catchiness in each track despite the fact
that their still bludgeoning you from all directions. The production is
on the raw side but is adequately thick and actually magnifies the
intensity level and maintains a live feel. Instruments are still
presented with considerable clarity so none of the technical aspects and
hooks is lost. Another major change to be noticed is that of the vocal
delivery. Gone are the high-pitched screams that peppered DFTWs'
previous releases in favor of a guttural straightforward approach, which
I guess, suits the material presented here. Check out the cool Dustin
Hoffman sample on the fourth and final track; before it dives headfirst
into another blazing display of drum abuse and acrobatic fretwork. And
just as quickly as it begins, it all suddenly ends. The sign of a great
record is its replay value. I'm personally setting this bad boy on
continuous play. - Brian for No Bullshit! Zine
SEPTIC SEWER "Cryptic defilement" (Phil) CDR
14track
gore/metal from Cavite/Valenzuela Citythis is my second demo from them,
and I respect this guys for being active in the scene, and for keeping
it raw and d.i.y. still. An2
ANUS DE SATANUS [REHEARSAL DEMO 2005] CDR PHILIPPINES
Totally raw and un-mastered, this bedroom recording by Ron (vocals) and Corix (drums) from Toxemia together with Anto (guitars) of the notorious Chronicore zine, attacks like a homeless person armed with a tetanus inducing rusted knife. It sneaks up at you with Excrements' crawling intro, before pouncing and beating you to the ground with demolition blasts. Mock Crucifixion pulled me in with its "Sabbath as speed metal" speed picking verse lick, into an utterly twisted technical riff break, then climaxes with another Iommi styled hemp fueled groove. In fact even amidst the aforementioned raw sound, the quality and power of the songs (specially the way the guitar riffs are written and executed) are still quite evident. I'm really looking forward to a studio recording from these guys. - Brian
HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED "The nerd, the Idiot and the crybaby" (Phil) CDR
this is a punkska band from Malolos City.
Contains seven raw original recorded songs. They've got good material
in hand so I say goodluck to this band. I like track #3. but hey,choose
your samplers well coz theyre kind of stupid, and irrelevant to your
songs. An2
CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER "Saddest goodbye" (Phil) CDR
I
got this cd through trade. Contains eleven emotional songs, well their
bandname speaks for itself. I am very disappointed seeing their flyer
stating their bullshit MTV influences so I say fuck those bands who uses
the underground as their stepping stone. You be the judge. An2
PUS VOMIT "Vomit the abdominal pus" (Phil) CDR
I
have watch this guys in their live set a few times and their set I see
is very tight. I shoud say this band kicks assfrom their drummer Ryan's
attacking a powerful technical beats to Louie's high gain Cranium guitar
sound with neckbreaking riffs and Marco's aural molesting guttural
voice, all equals to a total brutality. Jep Companero
PATHOGEN "Into the subconscious void" (Phil) CDR
This
is definitely on the top of my list and is one of my frequently
listened-to cd. I really like watching them perform live. The
arrangement of their songs impresses me and the guitar sections were so
damned excellent. Grab a copy of this 5track deathmetal demo. An2
PUTRIFIED GENETALIA "Promo CD" (Greece) CDR
4track
brutaldeath demo. Their music is so damned eerie and sludgy and a bit
scary at times, sort of like there's somebody watching you at the back
heheheI like their music and I myself bangs my head in my room whenever
im listening this cd. An2
REST IN GORE "demo 2004" (Japan) CDR
I
thought I was listening to a PusVomit demo coz it sounded like marco on
vox. Well expect the same monstrosity of this Japanese band that would
leave you gasping for air to breathe. This contains 4songs of pure
brutaldeath/gore sickness. An2
INFECTED MALIGNITY "demo 2005" (Japan) CDR
the
hellish execution of this 3tracks brutaldeath demo is so fuckin'awesome
that I felt like I was runned by a speeding bullettrainthis is another
Japanese brutality, pure and uncompromising. An2
GEVOTAIS BORKEN "Murdering your guts (Japan) CDR
I
fucking hail excellent guitarists, so this one's added to my list. This
contains 4brutaldeath songs, keep away from small children as possible
coz they might get delirious once they listened to this hahaha just
kidding!!! Gevotais Borken's sound kicks ass, a two thumbs up will do. An2
GORED "Incinerate the vanquished" (USA) CDR
Good
heavens! My head felt like bursting because of the surging attack that
was taken by these brutaldeath metallers. This has 12songs of
political/gore agendas that would leave you mercilessly dominated. An2
DISCONFORMITY "Penetrated unseen suppression" (Japan) CDR
The
clearness of these 3song demo is fucking exhilarating because of the
superb recorded quality, and these bands killer talents is so evident
that chances are you'll get hooked on brutaldeath musick. My two thumbs
goes up for this group. An2
INHUMATE "Life" (France) CDR
16
deathgrind songs that focuses more into their personal "life" the
guitas riffage is thrashy-like, and their grinding music becomes
elaborate because of the vocalist's attack, and the drummers
accompaniment. Check out their interview on NoBullShitZine#4 to know
more about them. An2
CORRUPTED "Destroy beyond recognition" (Germany) CDR
A
balst of euphoric waves entered my brain nerves upon hearing these
six-track thrashmetal upheaval. They sort of reminded me of our
localband PaganFire (Phil) coz they have the same intensity and
aggressivenesswell the latter I have seen live, so I wish I could see
Corrupted play live too, if ever they got the chance of visiting the
Philippines. Thanks to Jr.Echo for giving me this copy. An2
50 WAYS TO KILL ME "50 more ways to die for Satan" (USA) CDR
A
soundmachine and a good sense of humour created this solo project of a
highschool American kid. I got this from Cygorix of NBZine, and we had a
goodlaugh listening to this album. This is good listening music
especially in a lazy afternoon during your siesta time, on your drinking
sessions, or when you're feeling suicidal. Two thumbs up! An2
KRONOS "Colossal titan strife" (France) CDR
contains
11 well-executed brutal/death musick. I really like the structure of
every sone here, and the fucking clean guitar arpeggios and solos would
definitely tore you to bits. This is one of my favorite cd. Add this to
your collection. An2
MOBILIZER "Kembali Kepada tuhan" (Indonesia) CDR
brutaldeath band from Indonesia
that offers this 6track demo. They uses a drum machine, and too very
bad I cant understand the tracklists because it was all written in their
native tongue. But this guys damned good, so check them out. An2
CONDEMNED "Armed conflict" (Phil) CDR
well
gridcore is Condemned so here they are with this Ep. Some of the songs
here are also included in the NoiseconspiracyProject Ep, a sideproject
of the other Condemned members. Expect pure intensified energy and blast
your stereo system when hearing this cd. No further instructions added.
An2
DIGESTED FLESH "The answer to infection" (USA) CDR
Have
you seen videos of human decapitation, of executions like heads being
chopped of and the desperate cries of anguish of the befallen victims?
Well imagine yourself in that scenario when listening to this
eight-brutaldeath tracks. Does it fuckin'hurt? Hahaha!!! Two thumbs up
for Digested Flesh, you guys fucking rule!!! An2
VEX "Cum and taste our revenge" (Phil) CDR
Ten
grindhalting songs, 3 of which were covers from Agathocles, Napalm
Death, and Burn The Masses. Expect intense aggressiveness when listening

grindcore band. Its chronic time. An2
V/A "More than just music" (Phil) CT
Fatnul #34 catablan 2428 urdaneta city
A
great collection of songs from five various bands up north of
Pangasinan. This contains political views, more on the anarchistic
concepts. Fatnul gave this to me last year and I hope im not late in
reviewing this tape demo because this was recorded October2003. this is
crust/punk/hardcore with a bit of ska grooves offering from THE KIDS ARE
DRUNK, GREENATION, I TRIED TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM MY LIVING ROOM, FREE
ADMISSION, and SOCIAL TERMITE an2
ANKYLYM "Instruments" (Russia) CT
Stauropygial Records
experimental
punk with some exotic and folk instruments like the Russian vargan,
horn or a crimped hose mixed with ska/hardcore elements. I think these
guys have drunk way too much vodkas in coming up with this album you'll
be in a festive mood once you hear this record coz' cygorix and me had a
crazy mid-afternoon frenzy as soon as we played this cassette tape sort
of a hilarious laugh coz' this band is fuckin' nuts to record this
insanity-driven songs, hahaha!!! An2
SOL "Sowing the seeds of terror: Philippines tour video CDR
Old Fart Wreck-Xistence

This features good bootleg videos of live performances by COARSE,
PARACONFLICT, KILLRATIO, A.D.A., KRACH, DISKINTENTO, DISABUSE, SAUNA,
and of course S.O.L. . I got this from Randy of Extrovertzine, thanx

CINERARY "Rituals of desecration" (USA) CDR

and ear bleeding aggressiveness displayed by this killer band. Another
brutal death musick for the freaks out there. Uh uh just have a copy coz

DEBODIFIED "Utopia in the eyes of the beast" (USA) CDR
Sevared records
The
gods in your imaginary make-believe heaven would be goddamn sick upon
hearing the infernal wrath invoked by these btutaldeath metallers. 8
songs of political anti-war agenda comprise this cd. Debodified's
drummer also plays for Lust of Decay, so expect the same killer beats. I
think they're disbanded now. An2
DEMBONES/DECAPITATED(doubleplay25tracks) (ENGLAND) CDR
FallOut Records
Sort
of like a split with 2 thrash/punk 80's bands. The cd cover says this
features ex-Discharge guitarist "Bones", which upon hearing the songs in
this cd, I find him so damn good. The execution of both bands was so
identical you cant say who's who. i don't know if this bands still exist
so I got some research work to do. 25 tracks all in all. To all those
thrash fanatics out there, add this to your collection. An2
V/A "we are the punx in Korea" (Korea) CDR
Upon
closer inspection of this cd, I see the ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DUPLICATION
IS PROHIBITED written on it. What the hell, they cant keep us from
pirating any cd hehehe assholes. This contains 30 various punk/ska bands
goodmusic for those skateboard kiddie freaks out there. None of this
bands will I support coz theyre not u.g. at all and the fucking
ALLRIGHTS RESERVED bullshit dismayed me. Theres even a song Fuck You S.A
hahaha!!!! Theyre fucking the almighty ameriKKKa when theyre themselves
puppets of the bush the butcher empire, its ironic right? Just kiss
each others ass, asswipes! And hold on to your American-backed
ponycanyon korea major label hahaha!!!! Damn. An2
CHILDREN OF BADEATH "Summer Memories Vol.1" (PHIL) CDR
Willie
sent this to me thru registered snailmail and my world stops spinning
when I played this cdr. I expected a deathmetal record, but hey this is
different, nope im not complaining coz I like this record. I got
blown-off when I move the tracklist to the song I Never Cry, an Alice
Cooper original, willie could sing pretty well man! This is one of my
old-time favorite song. I guess all of the songs here are covers, they
just make some twists depending
on their mood, like that song Eternal Flame hahaha that's more like it
guys this is an excellent collaboration from Nikos (septicsewer), Willie
and Jericho (negatron). 8 tracks all in all. An2
DECRUSTED [LOOKS LIKE IT'S KILLING TIME AGAIN] CDR - PHILIPPINES
This
band are from the ashes of the band Beer Break, notorious band from
Zambales now changed their name to Decrusted, I have notice that when
they were Beer Break before, they have released a demo called "Brutality
of the Kill" and now "Looks Like it's killing time Again" I guess these
guys love to kill! And I am scared, hehe! Anyways, Decrusted is now
different to Beer Break musically, and lots of changes in their musical
styles and actually delivered some brutal shits of technicality when it
comes to guitar riffing and the execution of the melody is memorable
that actually and no doubt has a Kronos[France] influence in it but
still the raw fuckin' grind elements is here to stay, and that's what I
like it. - Corix
D.O.A [WAR ON 45, MARCH TO THE END] CD CANADA
Sudden Death Records cascades PO BOX # 43001 Burnaby, B.C. V5G 3HO, Canada
Sudden
Death Records presents this classic D.O.A 1982 album. This re-issue is a
whole album of an activist songs, 18 punk rockin' great tunes that
focuses entirely on the stupidity of war. Upon examining, the lyrics of
the songs and song titles itself [Class War, Smash the State, No God/No
War, etc.], it's quite evident that they contain concepts of anarchism. I
recommend the songs (my personal picks) Masters of War, a Bob Dylan
original, and War in the East, a reggae song that reminds me of the
Clash, and hey, do I have to mention that Joe Keithley (DOA's
vox/guitarist) sounded like Joe Mescalero on this one? All in all, this
is an excellent 18 D.O.A's anti-war song to surely march by. An2
JACKAL [LIKE A JACKAL] CD UK
Wllie
[Pathogen] would definitely love this 5 track heavy metal stuff. This
band sounds like Iron maiden and Judas Priest. Track # 2 starts off with
a good power ballad like intro and finished off with a slow-thrashy
beat that caught my intention. Hey heavy metal sickos, add this in your
collection. An2
NEW SOCIETY OF ANARCHISTS [COME OUT SWINGIN'] CD USA
I
think this is their third album. An 11 track punk/hardcore full of
energy and angst evident in their track lists, but I kind of get bored
listening to this CD coz they all sound the same to me but I like the
instrumental track #9. and hey! This is copyrighted / all rights
reserved so feel free to pirate once you get hold of a copy, that's the
anarchists way! Hahaha! An2
SUBLIMINAL CRUSHER [LIFE DROUGHT] CD ITALY
No
doubt this is fuckin' metal core in the veins of Pantera, but no
fuckin' dimebag trademark guitar solos hehehebut this band got grooves
so I rate them as they are, fuckin' good at what they do. Fuck! An2
WACO JESUS [THE DESTRUCTION OF COMMERCIAL SCUM] CDR USA
This
band is fucking psycho! Shit eating porno grind motherfuckers! This
band is fucking sick to the extreme and actually, I like it because this
is the kinda shit that could totally destroy commercialism and that's
how it used to be, their music has actually had a direction and fucking
brutal for me. Better contact these psychos for your shit eating lusts -
Corix
SLAYER [HELL NO LONGER AWAITS LIVE 1986-DEMO 1982] CS USA
Hounds Of Tindalos Productions
This is Slayer's live at San Diego California February 1st 1986
that includes Hell Awaits, plus various rehearsal sessions from 1986 to
1987 era, plus Slayer demo 1982, ha! You can't find this shit anywhere
man! This is rare and it's totally classic, man! This is actually a
bootleg tape from Hounds Of Tindalos Production. - Corix
DYSTOPYA [ALAMEIDA] CD ITALY
I
like this shit man, 6 songs of thrash metal driven cd. The guitarist
fuckin' rocks, and the drummers groove would definitely make your head
bangs. Tracks # 2 and # 6 are powerful ballads, reminiscent of the 80's
vibe. An2

HIGHERGROUNDZ BAR, OLONGAPO CITY
NOV.10 2005
What
the?!!...its fast approaching 10 in the evening and still nobody wants
to play first, good thing we're not on the line-up(in short, sumingit
lang), so we played first, DECRUSTED. Next in line was FISTFOUNDATION,
and other bands which I missed coz' I went drinking with my buds
outsideI returned a bit soggy, and saw marco and Jamie gorgore. Bad
thing was PUSVOMIT's not playing..DFTW's set drowned the entire house
and their fierce brutality bewildered the metallers which almost ignited
a riot when some dumb-ass drunx went egotripping and started pushing
violently almost everybody in the moshpit area, luckily they stopped and
saved their asses mugged by the crowd..DISSIMULATE's grinding
performance went smoothly, so does REVOLT, DRASTIC INTENT, and
POWERTOOLS..INFERNALMACHINE, deathmetallheads from Laguna also was
present, and worthmentioning was HALFTHEBATTLE, youthcrew from cavite..i
was swept off my feet with their repertoire,damn they fuckin'rulewe
lost track of time after the gig and retired so damn exhausted..(end)
AN2
VITAMIN X "A THRILLA IN MANILA"
CAMP EXTREME SKATEPARK,CUBAO
NOV25,2005
Sounds
like a boxing match but don't be confused, this is Vitamin X's
Phil.Tour, a political hardcoreband from Poland (just correct me if im
wrong), with 7 supporting local pinoibands. Countless hours of traveling
alone from Zambales to Cubao was quite boring, and finding the gigsite
adds moreafter paying the entrancefee and pushing my way thru the crowd,
I see old friends present, that lightened me up It was HALFTHEBATTLE's
set,they were busy exhausting the moshers' energy and on the same time I
was banging my head on the top of the ramp at the opposite side of the
park where I haD A bird's eyeview of the whole event..i spotted Gerald
and franz of THE ISTUKAS OVER DISNEYLAND sitting at the same ramp
sweating, too bad I missed their set..bottles of brandy and booze came
in fullcircle, and I too, started to sweat..next was CHOKE COCOI, and
ill be damned,the female vox ripped everybody's ear off, what a tight
performancePLAY played next but I had not watched them coz' I looked for
eman(delusion of terror). THE BEAUTY OF DOUBT set fueled almost all of
the scenesters to mosh, and their anthemic song "AMPAONARCHIST" ignited
the whole flock to sing along.. Lo and Behold! The mighty punkrock
lives! Two thumbs up for this bandLast was Vitamin X, yes you read it
right, they played their new tunes but my ears wanted to hear their old
stuffs, and then to my hearts content, they did "SEE THRU THEIR LIES", a
personal favorite,whoa!that does it I heard a story that some asswipe
threw a crumpled paper to the drummer, and I felt saddened about this.
Funny how SXE, drunkbastards, stoners, and the likes could get along in
such gigs, sum it up and everything all just goes down to music, plain
and simple the gig ended before midnight and my ass is pushing me to go
to Malate where another gig was taking place, but hell, I went straight
to my aunt's house in Makati and slept discontedly kasi bitin yung
gigtapos. AN2
? (EVERYBODY GOT BALLISTIC DRUNK)
VOICETOWNBAR, VALENZUELA CITY
NOV26,2005
A
terrible headache did not stopped me from going to Valenzuela. I hooked
up with Toxemia's hooligans and found ourselves in the comfort of
SepticSewer's Nikos' room, a warzone of pure mess hehehe.a hotmeal was
served and a finale of a local brandy was passed, that definitely
started my veins pumping. A local rosary group was beginning to chant
outside and as if on cue, The Pathogen guys appeared. At 9pm we were
positioned at the farside of VoicetownBar watching those boring cover
bands. A set of wannabe's and the audience singing along on every number
pisses us off so we decided to drink outside.. booze rained that night
and almost all of us went ballistic drunkthe boring gig changed when VEX
(grindcore) took the stage with a vengeance, BUGONG (blackmetal) was
good at what they do, and then came in PATHOGEN. I was thrown-off in
time, thinking about those old-school deathmetalbands I grew up
listening to all hailz to these guys next was TOXEMIA (grindcore) and it
was a privilege to play bass with them. Drunken bastards started to
slam and bang their heads, pushing chairs and tables in the corner to
have more space. I saw a guy, a longhaired andre the giant, he was so
fucking huge and could easily squash anybody's head off with one quick
move uh! I felt sorry for those who fell victim to his sinister slamming
tactics hehehelast to play was SEPTIC SEWER and it was already 4am, so
after their set we went straight to Janus' house and have our free
breakfast served, salamat! (end) AN2
BLACKSHADOWS PRODUCTION
VOICETOWN BAR, VALENZUELA CITY
DEC10,2005
Same
thing happened, we found ourselves at nikos'room but this time, rain
was falling outside and I felt quite sleepy. At 9pm we have positioned
ourselves at a different place, a more cozy spot in VoiceTownBar... I
dozed off a few times, waiting for the show to start. Firstband was a
conotic band, and I've been wandering, are we in the right place?
Looking at the audiences who looked flashy in their expensive signature
clothes did not help. We were summoned by the master showman a.k.a. kuya
germs wannabe, and we played next ANUSDESATANUS (a sydproject w/ corix
and ron of Toxemia) somebody informed us that we are only entitled to
play 2 songs coz we have to pay 60bucks first, PAY2PLAY?
Asshooles!!!!damnmotherfuckers!!!!!! we finished quick and was so
fucking dismayed. We then decided to just get stoned that
nightPATHOGEN's set was still great I got goose bumps when a
blackmetalband took the stage. I shook my head no! that's not KISS on
make-up, im just on a fucking circus ride, an outer space intergalactic
lunacy, but hey, they're not aliens right? I was so fucking stoned I
felt like screaming and then the guitar went krangkrangkrang, the bass
krangkrangkrang, the drums went chachacha, and the vocalist just hid his
face banging his head towards the stagefloorfuck! Im getting delusional
so I smoked more to calm myself, whoa that does itTOXEMIA declined to
play that night, so next was SEPTICSEWER. PAGANFIRE was there and they
unleash their thrashmetal songs and finished off smooth. Afterwhich we
decided to went straight home, back at Nikos'

FOODNOTBOMBS-MANILA
FREEDOMBAR, QUEZON CITY
Jan12,2006
I
departed in Zambales at about 4pm and was in Manila at 8:30pm, I hooked
up with Cygorix (psychoman of NBZine) and off we went to FreedomBar, a
jeepney ride from Cubao,Edsawe drunk a bottle of gin and munched on
hardboiled peanuts outside we went in and a band was almost finished,
next were FORGIVENESS DENIED, ISHMA, and FEUD, hardcore bands from
Cavite. I spotted Eazy of HalftheBattle, and my assumption led to dismay
upon knowing that they're not on the bill that night. STANDFAST
performance was pleasing to my ears, they reminded me of oldschool 80's
SONICYOUTH's Kim Gordon on vocals, which by the way sounded very much
like Anti-Schism, and Anti-ProductLast group was DEATHWISHKIDS, with
their eccentric ala porkchop joker on vocals, too bad we cant get along
with his private jokes, but hell, they have a very excellent set, which
is very NOT4SALE style. Much respect to my dear friend Ben. Corix
romances his digital camera and took pictures of his crush ahem! And our
good mood turned the other way around when a heated argument on
different FNB-groups arise, uhuh that's it, time for us to leave. (end)
