Rhegency - Brazillian Thrash Metal!!!

The Rhegency was formed in May 2000 in the city of Santo André in the São Paulo-Brazil by Fabio Fioravanti and Fabrício Oliveira. With a contradictory (but understandable) proposal to innovate the metal scene and at the same time keep the aggressive style, bases and heavy riffs and aggressive than abandon the melodic lines clearly showing influences ranging from the Prog-Thrash Metal. 

In December 2004 the band releases a demo "As long as you're here," that despite having a production compromised by problems receives great reviews from sites, zines and specialized magazines as Roadie Crew, Whiplash and Paradise Metal. For personal reasons the singer Wilson Barros to leave the band soon after recording the demo.
After a long period of standstill in search of a new vocalist is released to live DEMO "Through Time" (2007) that brings a new addition to the track title Rules of the song "Hidden" with new vocalist Fernando Ferreira and cover "Beyound Within " from Nevermore. This new DEMO was spread online, available on myspace and the official website of the band.In February 2009 as a preview of CD "Corruption Falls" is launched at the myspace song "Fallen Into the Corrupted World". Currently the band is in studio recording the long-awaited cd.

PREDICATE NOT DEFINED - NORTH MALAYSIAN PROGRESSIVE METAL

From grunge, industrial metalcore, Predicate Not Defined's sound has since evolved into a mish-mash of progressive experimental metal, with big catchy technical riffs, memorable choruses and a complete disregard for regular genre conventions. Sometimes there's borderline metal going with screaming and punishing drums, in other places you'll get a quiet ballad wanting to lull you. One minute the band sounds like a extreme metal, the other it's morphed into an malay traditional tune in their composition. Blame it on the band's love for Pantera, System Of A Down, Nirvana, Kreator and Dream Theater who don't limit their sound to a specific style.

-----------------------------------------------------

This is one of my personal Favorite Malaysian Metal Band!!! Unique Style and Awesome Technique... that all I can say... Visit their------> official Myspace Page <---- for more detail!!!

Florida's Good Acoustic!!!

Florida based singer/songwriter John Land serves up music that speaks to you as a person, not a fantasy, all the while seeking music in its truest form: communication, not noise. In his debut cd, "Found," John brings together the songwriting and musical influences of James Taylor, Nick Drake, Ian Anderson, and Richard Thompson, performers who likewise speak directly to listeners through voice and guitar, rather than an overwhelming musical impression.

Y2K - Malaysian Powerpop Punk!!!

INTRODUCTION TO Y2K -Blasting onto the local indie music scene in 2002 with their madcap antics, Y2k started off as a punk-rock cover band, converting 80’s and 90’s pop songs from the likes of Wham, Atomic Kittens and Cindy Lauper into punk rock. As the band evolved, more and more original songs entered their repertoire, each member bringing their unique influences and origins into the mix, fusing genres and languages whilst still retaining the pop-punk ethos. After a year of struggling, Y2k have finally finished their debut album, PIZZA SALSA: a blistering barrage of pop, punk rock, hip-hop, metal and ska in English, Malay, French and Japanese. 

ABOUT THE BAND -Y2k have been a staple of the music scene since the band formed, busily playing show after show throughout Kuala Lumpur, Terrenganu, Penang, Melaka, Johor Bahru and Singapore, building up their reputation as excellent showmen. They performed at the Fat Festival in Thailand, Duduluran Rock Fest in Bandung, Indonesia and Rock the World 7 (One of Malaysia biggest annual Rock concert). Y2k also won the regional finals of the Global Battle of the Bands in 2007, becoming the Malaysian Champions for the Global Battle of the Bands. They were also in the top 10 bands in the World Finals at the Global Battle of the Bands and played in the legendary Electric Ballroom in London, England. Not only are they known for their catchy, energetic songs, but also for their hilarious stage repertoire which some have likened to stand-up comedy.

Mi Scusi - Borneo Horror Rock & Cruel

Initially, Mi Scusi was known as Hysteria and formed somewhere in July 1997 at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, East Malaysia. At their early days, they were categorized as cover band which is only play a cover songs from their idols such as The Misfits, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, Rancid, Green Day, & NOFX. In the other words, they are the cover punk band same as many bands out there!!! However, after several years they are getting tired to cover other people’s song in their jamming sessions or even during their stage performances. Then, they started composing their own songs and until today they still keep doing it and yet they never think to stop. For your acknowledgement, Mi Scusi is not MTV friendly type of group with hyper cheeky melody as you always see on MTV, Channel V or whatever you may call it. So, if you are more into bands which are always appear on that channel then you are not in their league. This is because I can assure you that you might not like to hear our tune!!! My advice is simple “JUST IGNORE THEM AND THEY WILL NOT MIND”. Mi Scusi Horror Scouts Are: Jairo (Vocal / Guitar) Cho (Guitar) Zul (Bass/ Vocal) Mie Evilyn (Drums) Visit their official friendster page at: www.friendster.com/miscusi514 or www.myspace.com/miscusi514

PSYCROPTIC - AUSTRALIAN DEATH METAL!!!

Formed in Hobart, Tasmania in 1999 with members Joe Haley (Guitars), Cameron Grant (Bass), Matthew Chalk (Vocals), and David Haley (Drums), Psycroptic wrote intensively for the months following their formation, crafting the material for the debut album The Isle of Disenchantment. This album was self released in January 2001 to overwhelming response from the metal underground which helped spread the Psycroptic name all around the world. In support of this release shows around Australia were played across Australia, earning themselves many new fans. 

Much was quiet on the live front in 2002, due to the decision to work hard on material for the second album The scepter of the ancients. Recording started late in 2002, with the final touches being added in early 2003. Again self financed, a suitable international licensing agreement was reached with US label Unique Leader which allowed many new people to hear Psycroptic for the first time. 

Extensive touring around Australia was undertaken is support of the album, which included the national support slot for Incantation as well as appearances on well known metal fests such as Bloodlust and Metal for the Brain. New material began to take shape throughout early 2004, as well as touring with label mates Deeds of Flesh across Australia in July. Following this tour a 23 date European tour was undertaken with Dismember exposing the band to many new fans. Unexpectedly original vocalist Matthew chose not to tour, which meant searching for a fill in at short notice. Jason Peppiatt rose to the task, perfecting 8 songs in a short amount of time proving he was a talented and dedicated musician. 

Following the European tour, several shows were played with Matthew returning on vocals. However, ongoing disharmony and tensions resulted in the rest of the band asking Matthew to leave in March 2005. In April 2005, Jason was asked to join Psycroptic. Jason beyond proved himself as a vocalist to enthusiastic Australian audiences when the band toured with Hate Eternal on their June Australian tour. 

Symbols of Failure was released in February 2006, and followed up the release with several Australian nation tour and 2 european tours in support of the album, with some of metals biggest names: Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Nile, Kataklsm and Behemoth. Willowtip Records re-released Symbols of Failure for the North American market in late 2007, and the band will tour this region for the first time in 2008. 

Psycroptic are now hard at work writing the follow up to "Symbols of failure".

INCISOR - SARAWAKIAN DEATH METAL BAND!!!

The band was formed back in late 2005 when Voon (drums) met Jan (guitar) and they rehearse for several times a week. At the time, they don’t have bassist and vocalist. Lastly, they’ve decided to form a serious band. Later they met Ben (vocal) whom from the same school with Jan. During rehearsal, they met Abon who fill up the position as guitarist and Jan switched up to bassist. The band was called ‘Greed Killing’ and lined up by Ben (vocal), Jan (bass), Abon (guitar) & Voon (drums). Later the band change their name to ‘Collateral Damage’ and play their first gig ‘Number of the Beast: mini show’ on 6.6.2006. But the line up doesn’t last long. Due to some misunderstanding, Jan left the band. The 3 line up remains and once again change their name to ‘Cranium’. During Cranium days, they’ve composed two songs for Cranium, but never were released. Due to Abon’s commitment problem, Voon and Ben decide to leave the band.

After struggling for a while, in late 2006 Jan finally make decision to re-join the band. ‘Incisor’ was formed. They also bring in Mirul as guitarist who’ve been friends for many years. He rehearses several times with the band but also got kicked out due to his commitment concern. Since then, Incisor plays as 3 piece and currently lined up by Jan (guitar/bass), Ben (vocal) and Voon (drums). Based on heavily death metal influenced, the band thought is was about time to put out their first self-titled demo CD which include 3 songs – ‘Bless the Cursed One’, ‘Chamber of Death’ & ‘Boundless Damnation’. Lyrically, Incisor varies between mere atmospheric depressive thought which are mainly generated by unbound natural chaos, and its demonic ferocity. What’s more important, the band was ready to give full blasts to true death metal listeners!!!
