Safyan Kakakhel – Charsi Malang Moola Saray

For people who thought Pakhtun Metal could not be done, here is a kick in the anus! I give you Charsi Malang Moola Saray. A little heads up for the faint of heart amongst us. The song brings to mind the image of a Pashtun punker laying waste to the plasticity of “nowadays” Punk and Metal. Props to Safyan for the awesome song!

The Lahore Underground (Documentary)

I have been meaning to put this on the Markhor for some time but whenever I tried, Ninjas would invade my tubes and subject them to the most horrible variety of buttsecks imaginable. I am not sure if it was just Ninjas. Anyway, I don’t know who is responsible for the video so I can’t credit him/her here. I could check but the afore-mentioned Ninjas have kind of indicated that they wouldn’t mind going at it again. Props to Hassan Umer for uploading the documentary.

The documentary takes you through how it all started in Lahore. There is a bit of everything going on and most of it is Metal. I think you should be able to conclude after watching that it was EP’s self-sucking that has brought the scene where it is today. Call and a few other bands followed suit and proceeded to engage in an Urdu fueled orgy of plagiarizing teh MTV metalz and claiming to be pioneers.
