“Man, I’m just ready to go out there and rock, you know. I’ve heard that you guys are always enthusiastic for music so we’re going to go out there and give you our best,” he offered.
Death Angel, meanwhile, is not new to the festival, having headlined its seventh year. The group is also proudly composed of Filipino-American members. In fact, they were quick to brandish their roots when they shared a couple of Filipino words with the media like “Mahal Kita,” “Pare” and the occasional cuss word.
“Yeah, we are aware of our roots. We ’ve been here here before and we’re glad to be back,” said band guitarist Rob Cavestany.
According to its organizers, there were fans from as far as Sweden, Canada, and the US, as well as neighboring countries such Malaysia and Singapore who come over to specifically watch the show.
Aside from the three international heavyweights headlining the festival, 25 of the biggest local rock bands in the country played at the event such as Kamikazee, Chicosci, Razorback, Hilera, Franco, Moonstar 88, Paramita, Dahong Palay and Imago, among others.
Another special guest for the rock concert was a band from Dubai called Nervecell, apparently one of the most accomplished and influential metal bands in the U.A.E. Manila Bulletin
