Shredd Off Update: The Slice finishes recording with Queen of Pain

After a long wait, 2012 Queen of Pain Shredd Off champion Chris Ligutan and his band " The Slice" was able to finish recording on their latest opus, "Langit", at Vhinlex Audiowave in Taguig City last Sunday (Dec.9,2012).

It was a long and tedious process under the watchful eye (and ear) of manager Noel Ligutan and Audiowave sound engineer Jade Venzuela. Queen of Pain was there to oversee this momentous occasion and capture the event.

Though tired from the travel and performing, the other boys of  "the Slice", made up of vocalist Jeffrey, bassist Kevin and drummer Jurwin, kept their spirits high through the whole process (sige Jurwin...ice cream ka pa ha...:-)).

 

Seeing a band like "The Slice" perform, and to be able to help, even in a little way, to further their effort in music makes our job at Queen of Pain worthwhile.

Queen of Pain 2012 Shred-Off Champion

Congrats to Chris (The Slice/Anwind) for winning the 2012 Metal Shred-off competition. The Finals was held last night at Autonomy Bar during Queen of Pain's "Metal Meltdown 5: The Final Shredd Off".

(Chris bites a chunk oout of his guitar...napakain ba natin tong bata na to?)

The competition was based on the old school 'Guitar Showdown' format, but all the 'combatants' was on fire, with no 'TKO's', and leaving the decision to the panel of judges to bring in the winner. Special judges were Goody and Grace from Autonomy Bar, Richard from Bulagta, Ron from Il Nomine Patris, Marvin from Thanatopsia, Kevin and Arwin from Subkonsius Terror, and Reyniel from Troll of Sanity.

It was a very tight competition between Group A's Chris (The Slice/ Anwind) and Group B's Kelvin (Hot Sauce Jr.). But in the end, the judges declared that there can only be one.

Chris takes home a scaled replica of the rare 'Zemaitis' Steel Front Guitar, a set of Ernie Ball 'Slinky' strings, and a trophy. Queen of Pain shall also sponsor a track recording of Chris' band for a single, to be included in Queen of Pain's mixed genre compilation album, planned to be released by December.

The Grudge Event

The freaks came out last night as Queen of Pain Productions held its "The Grudge Event": A Holloween Rock Special. Some bands came in their scariest look as the night of rock music and comraderie drones into the wee hours of the day.

The Four Finalists of Death... for the scariest look contest. From left to right are 'Mr.Bones', 'Chuckie Doll', 'Jabbawokeez', and 'Slipknot'.

'Slipknot' takes home the prize. A Yui Hirasawa figurine based on the K-On movie.
