Dim Mak..?

[Dan Hibiki]

I'm new here and i just wanted to start qith a couple of questions...

1. Does anyone know what happened to Dim Mak? The website is down and i heard they had some lineup changes (but no idea who), but thats all i could find.

2. Are there more metal/hardcore bands with martial arts themed lyrics, or even japanese/chinese cultural lyrics?

Thanks in advance!

Dim Mak is the band comprised of ex-Ripping Corpse members(Scott, Shaune and Brandon), and they were produced by Erik Rutan. They released 2 albums called "Enter the Dragon" and "Intercepting Fist". Their music is very techincal death metal and the lyrics are inspired by Martial Arts. I just recently got into them and have come to find that their website is no longer working and i can't find anything out about them since the release of the last album(Intercepting Fist). They were distributed by Olympic records. Umm..i can't really think of anything else. I was hoping someone on here would know about em. As for the 2nd part of my question in the original i was just curious about more bands with Martial Arts inspired lyrics or Japanese/Chinese Mythology. I know of 2 Japanese bands called Sigh and Magane that have mythological type lyrics, but that's about it. But thanks anyway for replying!

Dim Mak eh? Sounds really interesting! I'm going to check 'em out and see if I can get a hold of any material from them. I will get back to you on it for sure. Only eastern band that I can think of off the top of my head that I listen to is Defiled and Sigh (think they are eastern).

I'll be back!

If you check out the bottom of the main forum page where it says "Scenes." Check out the Japan sub-forum. Maybe you will find what you are looking for there.
