Intro : Tyler Drake

[TylerDrake]

I'm Tyler...I'm in a Metal Band with "the Warlord" which we set up over a year ago so that we had something to do, or something to work at, but it has now become alot more than that... We've played at some good venues for a Metal band in Singapore including the Indoor Stadium Waterfront for ROCKAGE...an unsuitable name really... We're planning on taking it as far as we can...
As far as i'm aware, there aren't many f*cking metal bands in singapore.. i mean, real metal bands, not like the 7 guys who stand on stage at the Youth Park and scream while people skate board around them, or those guys who play a little Black Sabbath after playing "are you gonna be my girl"... I'm wondering if, other than Ronin, there will be another high calibre Metal band here that could even rise to the point of maybe being nominated for "Best artist Singapore".

In a best attempt we'll GIG as much as we can, or do whatever it takes to be HEARD and mainly, BE LISTENED TOO... (there is a difference)

Until Next time... pounding pounding pounding

nitrovo.. whats going on... hey, i remember you haha. how could i forget.. the only one in a "close to official" slipknot mask on the night... there was one Fuker in some face paint or some shit haha...

Nobody says Slipknot and METALLICA are the only metal bands by the way? i didn't read that anywhere? i dont know where that came from?...
Anyway..

ABOUT THE BAND NAME...Truth is, we've been using this "SWORD BEARING MUSCLE KINGS OF THUNDER, LIGHTENING AND METAL" name, mainly so we have atleast SOMETHING to call ourselves... but it's obviously not a band name that ANYONE is gonna take seriously.. so yeah.. the name is really in the making...

Keep checking us out though... either THE WARLORD or I, for up-and-coming gigs, or whatever it might be... they'll be coming thick and fast soon, thats for sure... not to mention recordings that are on there way...

POUND POUND POUNDING METAL.

Bands i LIKE

It has to be said, Slipknot and Metallica are two of my favourite bands, but it's not like thats all we play or aLL i consider to be METAL>? ... I love ICED EARTH now after having been introduced over a year ago... some MANOWAR stuff... but it has to be said, they are pushing this whole VIKING HISTORICAL BATTLE METAL shit a little too far. We actually played HAIL N KILL at one of our gigs.. I like THE WHO... who actually aren't metal for anyone who is completely clueless... i like some avenged sevenfold stuff, but thats as far as i'll go towards all the sort of stuff. DREAM THEATRE are awesome too.... this is mainly just the metal i like... of course i enjoy other stuff too...

Nobody says Slipknot and METALLICA are the only metal bands by the way? i didn't read that anywhere? i dont know where that came from?...

Me neither :lol: Coz seeing ppl go hoohaa over metallica n slipknot nowadays gives me the ubershit. Guess i was just bored hahah. Goodness..tht a name of a band or name of yer album?

but it's obviously not a band name that ANYONE is gonna take seriously..

Correct. So whenz the nxt gig? Interested ta watch ye guys perform coz i dont think i spotted u on any of the metal gigs so far. Bt by any chance did i miss out?

Oh i can c ur mostly influnced by Nu, Thrash & Power Metal. Though a7x has finally progressed & earned my respect since their latest release. They now sound more melodic heavy/power metal.

hi.. i dont think there's no way for a metal band to get really heard in singapore's music industry, at least for now.. but if you really wanna get heard in the metal scene is to just keep gigging. and also be friendly. not gonna metion any band names but there are the really friendly ones who get the real support and the really big headed and proud ones getting the backstabbing and all.
btw.. IMO... real metal will always belong to death and black metal. whether it's melodic technical symphonic ambiencic whatever you have. :lol:
