Asses Of Pain

DAMN its only been such a short time since fest of the tritone is over but im already missing that stage. the power, the metal.
those that were present that day probably heard my band, Ashes of Pain-s first self written song. Since the mic was pretty fucked people probably couldnt hear shit. The song was called "Corpses in the river".
here are the lyrics for the song. please do comment and give me ideas...


blood, has flooded the dirt.
they burn, like crimson fingers
devoured black hearts they danced as they massacred
I feel my body burn and my insides turn to ice
and for the first time i saw the devil's very eyes

chorus
wings and thorns stabbed into me the devils claw
corpses floated as if they waltzed within the gore
I feel the devil tear my chest looking inside
savouring my flesh i bleed i offer Him to feed on me


condemned? fuck yourself
you're lied to and you lied with pride
and you act like your God can make you fuckin shine
i hear the antagonizing growling as two eyes stared
it glowed crimson and the colour of blood so red


chorus
wings and thorns slashed onto me the devils claw
corpses floated as if they waltzed within the gore
I feel the devil tear my chest looking inside
savouring my flesh i bleed i offer Him to feed on me

hahahaha how is it? some people told me it was cliche, some told me it was scary.. some even told me it wasnt dark enough. LOL ill try harder for the next song, BLACK JESTER... ive only written the chorus for that one.. here are the lyrics so far-

"black suns black seas burn in twisted lunacy.
under the tortures and torments,a crazy ecstasy.
vampyric hungers fed as the dark smile spread.
out it gushed... the blood so red"

lol me and my bro jeremy are still writing the riffs for this one. we will be doing our recording soon... stay tune mates!!! its a pain in the ass but its extremely ejoyable... metal for FUCKING life

METAL AND MATES - REASON TO LIVE

for videos and pic of the gig please visit my facebook profile...
so its been a long time since i last updated.
so festival of the tritone was a success... thank God. As you all know ashes of pain only formed roughly one month ago and already we are organizing a gig. This gig represents our image, because were not the only band playing on that day. If we screwed up our name will be known... for screwing up gigs hahaha. As rock/metalheads, were ambitious... much more ambitious than most other musicians... this can be clearly seen on studio walls. EVERY last note that is looking for recruits are of metal bands. This clearly show how passionate metal/rock musicians can be.. So i know for fact when these bands that i invited to join the fest of the tritone were told they had a gig, no doubt they will be pumped... and imagine if we were to screw up the gig... well be fucked lol.

ONE INCH CLOSER
BANBODO
THE METAPHOR
ASNAIVEKILLER

These were the bands that were invited. one inch closer was a rock band. they play mostly japanese rock, and they were good. They managed to deliver the flavour of their music in their way. This and the fact that they are the softest among the other bands make them the perfect start for the gig. Its like a punch in the face, and a garuantee of quality for the audience.

Banbodo ditched... whadya expect? theyre called band BODOH.

next was the metaphor. i honestly have no FUCKIN idea what genre to label them. They were an instrumental band, consisting of two guitarist, one bassist, one violinist, one keyboardist and one drummer. They were FUCKING good. Their music was intense, and passes for a soundtrack for any classic hollywood movie anyday. They were good, definintely a punch in the face. they double confrmed the gig quality. and delivered more than just plain music. You should be able to guess how good they are... i SELDOM and i mean SELDOM praise non metal bands....

next up was ASNAIVEKILLER, a metalcore band. They were the ones responsible for pumpng up the crazy bastards that were present on that day. I was one of them, and we moshed and headbanged. the pit was pretty brutal... with huge pakistani metalheads throwing themselves against people. It was fun, and asnaivekiller did an awesome job...

and the last to play was ashes of pain.. my band... since we didnt have enough original songs to play, we were forced to play a few covers... we did slayer-raining blood first. raining blood was a crazy start, brutal and fast.. fuckin awesome for some crazy headbanging... what do you think? i have an army of fucked pakistani metalheads to satisfy. Those dudes were awesome seriously... along with members of asnaivekiller. second, we played bodies of drowning pool, catchy, jumpy, and heavy. third we played eat you alive - limp bizkit. this song was also heavy and catchy. very suitable for intense headbanging... forth, we played our first self written song-corpses in the river... This song had our own style... it wasnt the slow gory cutting of knives like arch enemy. and it wasnt the brutal blundgeoning of a sledgehammers like lamb of god riffs... it was our own distictive style... it was made up of mostly complicated riffs, accompanied with rather slow paced drums.. heavy yet melodic at the same time... i thought it was awesome... was wondering what the others think...
and lastly, also our self written song, betrayal.. this song was made as an outro using some of my guitaist(kai)s previous bands riffs. it consisted of a two solos.. played by both guitarists... and a drum solo. So everybody had a chance to show some shit. And in my opinion it was crazily awesome. We made plenty of mistakes but nailed everything in the end.

everyone was mostly satisfied with the gig. And asnaivekiller actually said its the best gog theyve ever played in... not bad huh? not bad for first try anyway hahaha!!!

ONE more thing i need to blog about. before gig day, on the 30th... i lived the best day ive ever lived in my life. me, howe, and bruce had a drinking session in mikis place. We were drinking and drinking when miki suddenly decided to cook for us. So she told me to defrost the bacons under the tap. The rest then left the kitchen leaving me alone.. and the lights turned off. then sounded a happy birthday song and in they come with a gorgeous Tshirt. These fuckers had my ass surprised... i know if i were to talk about how gayly touched i was at that moments this post would never end.. so ill just end it easy... never liked touching shit anyways...
thank you...







thank you you crazy assed bastards!!!

FESTIVAL OF THE TRITONE

its been fuckin awesome so far. hangout with friends, chilling, and talking shit. Its been a pleasure teasing and laughing at you guys hahahaha thanks peeps for the good laughs!!!!

SO YEAH.... everyones working now. And i no longer have excuses to get out of home. Fuckin sucks balls. I mean YEAH i love video games and stuff but if you were to compare, I think chilling out with friends would be much more ......productive hahahahah.

but AT LEAST ive got something to look forward to.. 31ST OF AUGUST. NO not the national day. im not much of a patriot actually. But on the 31st, my newly formed band, ASHES OF PAIN will be performing live with 4 other bands. When it comes to music, nothing excites me more, nothing else could give me that satisfaction. And when you have realy dedicated bandmates, things will just be awesome.

Ive been in many bands, and played in many performances.. ive been a drummer, vocalist, or even both. But few bands could get that ball rolling like ashes of pain can. All five of us are tied tight. We knew what each of us could do and we trusted each other to do their part, no questions asked...



The other four bands which are performing are ASNAIVEKILLER, BANDBODO, METAPHOR, and ONE INCH CLOSER... ASNAIVEKILLER is a great band. ive played with them as a sessionist. They were a metalcore band.. and the members of the band were pretty much cool people. But the reason why i chose ANK over other bands to perform alongside me is more than just because they were a metal band, or the members are cool, or anything like that. The reason why i chose ANK was because they showed me the same respect before. They gave me opportunities before... And i should return the favour. Mutual respect between bands are more important than most people know. And also because mr GAYASS HOWE FOO is my gay partner so as a gay partner its only normal to let your gay partner perform alongside you right? LOL

ONE INCH CLOSER is a great band too. I was a witness of their musical abilities during their previous gig, groove in motion 3.. They play pretty much sentimental music and theyre definitely good at what theyre doing. BANDBODO according to Kai ( my guitarist ) is an insanely awesome malay metal band and metaphor according to gayass howe is also an amazing instrumental band.

ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT ARE READING!!! please do come and support ashes of pain LIVE @ LAvenue bar USJ1 !!!!! Especially you 4 whom i know as my blood siblings... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!! ticket prices are rm15 each

ALL HAIL METAL!!!!!!!!

linkin sPARKles...

ALRIGHT metalheads!!!

SO if i were to state here that linkin park is a metal band id get fuckin shitloads different comments. there will be many "HAHAHA LINKIN PARK IS NOT METAL"s and "HAHAHA THATS GAY METAL"s.... which is fucked up in a way but yeah people have different opinins right?

MY opinion is that LP is a metal band. they may be light, they maybe rap but they are good. I mean, HOW DOES lp NOT qualify for metal? riffs composed over the tritone, screaming vocals, distorted guitars? because it has rap? DUDE thats why theres nu metal. NU METAL is also METAL... SO if youre a poser ass metalhead that acts all brutal and is such a badboy and dislikes nu metal then too bad for you. every subgenre has good bands... even my less liked metalcore, which IMO is heavy pop, theyre still good bands. so DONT say whats metal and whats not. its not for you to decide.

OKAY!!!! so ive been a linkin park fan since their first album, hybrid theory. That album was ultimate. Heavy guitars, good sceaming, good music. then came meteora, good but not as good, then came live in texas which owns!!!!. THEN came minutes to midnight.... okay now for this album i was dissappointed.... gone were the metal riffs, gone were the metal screams... all that was left were sentimental singing that played on constant monotonous beats. they resembled abit of electronic influence. but it wasnt that bad....

awhile ago i heard my friend talking about LPs newest single, the catalyst. honestly when i overheard this i was happy. Despite MTM being a dissappointment, i still had faith in this band, They were my primary influnces in getting where am i in the heavy metal scene today. And so i eagerly searched up the music video of the song

WHAT THE FUCK

words cannot describe how fucked up the song was. its so fucked up its almost disturbing. id rather watch a thermonuclear warhead explode in a midgets asshole.
dude... from metal to soft rock is okay... but TECHNO rock??? SEROUSLY!!!???
words cannot explain how dissappointed i am. All my childhood memories have been burnt to crisp. SO black and so dry that even hybrid theory became nothing but a vague image. No longer do i have faith in this band... As a band you should never sellout... NEVER.. especially to rap or techno. farewell linkin park.. never again these eyes will gaze at your beauty......

for any who are interested, heres the link to the song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bftTUAIVMUQ

PS avenged sevenfolds new album in turn turns out to be a major improvement... especially the track GOD HATES US... heaviest stuff ive heard from them in a long while..... and while im at it, i might as well give you guys a treat!!!!
inflames, take this life : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1FkbvGl-IU

COCK SCREWED

HAHAH!!!!! so tuesday is over but how i wished i could rewind time and relive that day.
true friends, booze, fags, crazy rides, and above all the legendary S WORD! haha its just so fuckin awesome!!!and since i cant relive the day i guess i can blog about it!!!! well then lets start!!!!

the night before bruce came and slept over my place. We screamed the night as we jossled back and forth trying to kill each other in TEKKEN 6 lol. we then decided to stop early so that we can make an early start tomorrow. But because Bruce got TOO intrigued at a certain MAG-azine, he decided to hit the sack slightly later HAHAHAHA
SO the next morning we woke up at about 7 and headed for the mamak!! there we had our first puffs and they gave us energy and prepared us for a day that will be filled with thrill!!!! We then drove down to cheras to pick up Miki and Howe and after that headed straight for Genting highlands WOOOO


We were hyper all the way. when ever we got closer to genting we would open the windows and screamed our lungs out. We blasted heavy metal at maximum volume and puffed our brains of the batteries. The non metal BRUCE was also enjoying JUST as much!!!!!
So finally we got there right? and youd never understand that fuckin orgasm we had when we took our first puffs outdoors. The awesomely cool weather and a fuckin FINE CUT!!! HORNS RAISED lml!!!!! too bad howe mr LI you never understand HAHAHAHAH

without wasting a second we rushed ourselves into the theme park where we tried out the pirate ship ride thingy. The four of us were so hyper that we screamed like crazy fools. As if we were sex lunatics gawking at some hotass chick or something. after that we went to try out other rides. Seeing that the legendary Corkscrew isnt open yet, we decided to try out the Go Cart thingy. while waiting for our turn, the three others would flood my ears on how fuckin awesome they were in their previous races LOL and i BEAT THEM HANDS DOWN!!!!!! LOL HOWE DONT BE IN DENIAL!!! IT ISNT THE CARTS FAULT!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAAHAAA
Having so much fun racing each other, we were even more pumped up then before!!! screamin and singing the S word, we jumped our way to CYCLONE!!! where we had fun screaming the S word(lol people must thing were stupid or something lol )
after that we had a couple more rides and headed for lunch at kenny rogers. And after the satisfying meal, we headed for the monorail where we hoped to puff our lungs dry in the kickass weather only to find out that the small chambers in the monorail train were interconnected. So to be considerate and not be too dissappointed, we had to shoot the smokes with our heads stuck outside the window LOL!!!

AFTER THAT WE HEADED FOR THE MAIN EVENT - CORKSCREW ( yeah it was open then ) despite the long line, we had to make the last ride count, so we slowly queued and waited for our turn and FINALLY!!! we got on the ride.

When we got on we planned to scream the S word together... and we did.. And the evening was filled with nothing but our crazy screams, hype, and gasps of pleasure.
After all that was over, we hopped on the car and headed to a place where the view was great to drink and smoke. although it didnt last long, we had fun HAHAHA. After that we went home and had dinner together.

The main importance isnt only about the fun we had. Its the new understanding we had for each other, we knew how each other felt, although we didnt say it. And all the pain and suffering we had for the grueling semester seemed to have paid off....
Its only a one day trip. and amazingly, it beats out most of the trips ive had in more canggih places and with bigger groups. We loved one another and enjoyed together.It wasnt just the adrenaline pumping on the corkscrew that mattered, it was the lines of relationship tightening among the four of us. I would miss this day, and even now as i thought about the things we did, i cant help but smile to myself

S_____ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






the three




Hail friendship!!! HORNS UP lml lml

Smokes and booze and stuff

SO yesterday night was a kickass shisha session with some kickass friends, we had Andrew, Howe, Sam, Bruce, and his friend Ken. we chatted and laughed all night and then andrew and howe slept over my place. ( nah not because im lovable... its just cause i happen to have an xbox360 sitting in my gamin room.) So yeah everything is cool and stuff. But yeah my main point is to state a complain !!!! ZSAM CHAN... you sonofabitch! you made me wait hours you whore!hahaha im just kidding mate.

So someone told me that he hates heavy metal coz of the screaming. So let me state here that heavy metal is NOT all about screaming.. bands like symphony X, power metal bands like hammerfall or metallium. These bands feature voices as clean as your clean ass music man! haha sure many metal bands love using highly distorted screaming vocals.. but not ALL... so dont say metal is all about screaming :D

well what metal is all about though, is playing notes surrounding the note called a tritone...why? because it makes your music sound evil. Well metal had blues as their granddaddy, and surprisingly the tritone is not supposed to be played in a blues scale. So YES! metal is mostly about sounding evil...screaming enhances that but no not every band uses it!!!( sources from- metal:a headbangers journey )

hahahaha since ive talked so much about clean vocal metal, let me share some of these with you

Blogging as a headbanger

its been quite sometime since i last blogged. i used to have another blog which consists of mostly pointless joker stuff, targeted only as an entertainment for my ex-classmates. i have to admit its been fun making them laugh but since most of us seldom see each other anymore, ive decided to start another blog, which i would write and share more of my personal life and my views and opinions of whats going on around me. And judging from the title of this blog youd probably know that im gonna share alot about my music life. And how ive lived until now as a metalhead. Stereotyped, rejected, and dismissed.

But for today, Id just like talk about certain stuff. earlier today, Ive had some interesting conversations with some of my greatest friends in the world. And they both had friendship issues. Im sure since people nowadays watch so much anime and dramas, they should understand certain words more than other people such as BETRAYAL, LOVE, PITY, and other bullshit stuff like that. Everybody pities the protagonist as he took blows from the antagonists one shot at a time. The protagonist will be betrayed, heartbroken, and all emotional and the audience would offer him their pity. You know whats the difference between a hong kong drama and a real life issue? the difference is that everybody in real life feels that THEIR the protagonist. Shot at, betrayed, love sick, left in tatters, and emotional and that THEYRE the once that deserves pity..people blame EVERYONE and EVERYTHING except themselves. Fuckin pathetic. When theyre thrown with questions on why they did certain things, they move their hands all around them looking for any item they can find to use as a shield. Theyd give you dumb explanations and stuff that doesnt make sense just to try cover up their mistakes.....
WHY? why do people refuse to see their own mistakes? if a person has done 90 percent wrong and 10 percent right, theyd ignore the 90 percent of wrong and take the 10 percent of right and brandish it across your face. fuckin pathetic....

Also Id like to ask... WHAT IS friendship? WHAT IS brotherhood? WHAT IS sisterhood? are they just names? as a friend, what are your responsibilities? THESE ARE NOT LABELS!!! you dont self proclaim to be another persons friend/brother/sister if you cannot even fulfill basic responsibilities that friends are supposed to hold. You dont go asking a friend for help and when shes done her part in helping you you just leave her until you need her again! you dont be friends with a person "for the time being" and when you found more friends you forgot who was the one that ate with you EVERYDAY!!!!
friends are supposed to be connected. prepared to forgive one another if one is sincere about his/her mistakes. friends are about caring for one another. It has to be 2 way, if the care and love was one sided then the one that showed no love wouldnt be a friend.... he/she would be a parasite. So it is pointless to continue caring for a parasite for a parasite only knows how to steal from its host. If a person deserves not your friendship then leave them be. There are plenty out there who still loves you and cares for you. Always respect first, but if they disrespect, then they deserve NOT your respect. SO... to both my friends i mentioned above, leave them be... do not waste your time on mere bastards that only leeches from those they can.
Let them forget you.... for you should remember, your true friends will not...

and also, KORNS new album debuted as no 2 on the bilboards!!! time to GO BUY IT!!!!!
