    This whole sub-forum is dying. Why don't we invite those posters from the filipino metal wesbite to post here as well?

    @Rosesofshadow: That Kreator dvd is one of best metal dvds ever released. It's highly regarded because of how definitive it is. It has a complete concert, a video biography (most other metal dvds' band biography are just in text and you ahve to read it from the tv screen), a discography and all...

    @RosesofShadow: Yeah, that first single "Revolution" stinks. I also prefer the same tracks you mentioned. I even like the last song, the long and dirgey "Lochness". Were you able to download the entire album? I burned myself a copy already but I'm still definitely getting the cd.

    Do you know Tang Dynasty from China?

    I've heard of the name Tang Dynasty way back in the '90s. But I haven't really heard their music. What type of metal do they play? Links to mp3 samples would be very helpful.

    @Bringer of War: I bought my copy of Machine Head's "Through the Ashes of Empires" at Music One SM Megamall early last year. You can try Tower and Music One branches. Maybe you can approach their customer service and have it ordered if it isn't in stock. It'll be easy for them to restock that...

    Are there by any chance Filipinos here?

    Hey, welcome Strychnos! Which part of Marikina are you from? We're practically neighbors! All four of us should get together sometime, hang out, drink beer and listen to metal! What about the next Ironworks gig at Caliente? Or probably the next metal gig at Freedom Bar so that it'll be...

    Roses of Shadow, Bringer of War: I used to co-host Metal Madness. I was Mad Tyrant in that show. I quit at the start of the year 'coz I had a huge argument with the other main host, Mr. SLH whose knwoledge and appreciation for metal is limited only to prog metal and gothenberg melodic metal. We...

    Hey Pinoy metalheads! I dunno if you noticed but there are a handful of metal dvds being sold locally. You won't find it in the major record bars. It's being sold by our enterprising brothers and sisters from the south (alam nyo na siguro sinasabi ko). I was at Marikina Riverbanks yesterday...

    The owner is Japanese. I think the reason why he stocks more power metal titles is 'coz that genre is huge in Japan. Yeah very expensive. But I suggest if you're in the area, you check it out. You might get lucky and chance upon a title thats' worth buying. Nah, I'm not in a band. I'm busy...

    Are there by any chance Filipinos here?

    Nah, tsambahan lang ang death and black metal titles dun. There are some cds that are consigned to them kasi. But from what I've observed, prog and power mainly ang titles nila (Gamma Ray, Helloween). A friend told me na pinakamura na ang 1300 per cd pag umorder ka. Mahal kasi sa Japan...

    RosesofShadow: The average price of a cd at Disc-Exchange is between 650-700. I've noticed though that some of the cds are on sale and have been discounted. I got Queensryche's "Queen of the Reich" for 440 bucks there. They don't carry obscure titles that much. They take orders for cds...

    @RosesofShadow: Ligaya? I'm near that place. I'm just further down the highway. I have End of Man's EP and it's great. I also have Mortal Grudge's album and I don't like them much myself. I used to like Skychurch but they've sadly degenerated into a metalcore band. Where'd you get...
