The Sound of Pinoy Metal

“The Sound of Pinoy Metal” is a hard-hitting dive into the diverse and uncompromising world of Filipino heavy music. From the fierce grooves of Slapshock’s “Cariño Brutal” and Greyhoundz’s raw aggression on “Your Puppet And Clown” to the unrelenting chaos of Intolerant’s “Blunt Force Trauma” and the old-school power of Dahong Palay’s “Kamandag,” this playlist captures the full spectrum of the country’s metal underground. Expect guttural vocals, crushing riffs, technical drumming, and everything from metalcore and death metal to sludge, thrash, and alt-metal.

It also highlights emerging acts like Voice Of Tranquility, Brickcity, and Dying Manifesto alongside legends such as Wolfgang, Razorback, and SkyChurch. Whether it’s the melodic weight of “Weight of the World” by Lostthreads or the grind and rage of “Suwapang” by Death By Stereo, each track brings its own edge. There’s even room for some experimental touches with bands like April Morning Skies and Church of the Poisoned Mind. A solid snapshot of heavy music forged in the Philippines—loud, proud, and unapologetically intense.
