Pinoy Metal: The Rise of Filipino Heavy Metal in the 1990s

It was a time when the underground metal scene came into its own, and bands from the Philippines began to carve out their space in a genre that was once dominated by Western acts. From thrash to death metal, grindcore to black metal, the 90s were a crucial time in shaping the Filipino metal scene, bringing local talent to the global stage.

Warhead - Meltdown (Too hot to handle) 02. Deceased -Never Rest In Peace 03...
