Takatak recording their debut album

Taken from their Facebook Page.

“We’ve been in the studio with since the past 3 weeks or so working on our new single and it sounds AMAZING! The production on this one is insane. This is probably the first time any metal band in Pakistan has recorded on a proper studio setup with live drums. We hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do. We’ve completed the tracking process. Now its on to the mixing and mastering stage. We’ll have a release date soon. A big THANK YOU to Mekaal and Sameer for giving us this opportunity. Not many people would take time out to record a metal band over here. Without you guys, this song would not be sounding like it is today. As Mekaal says ‘Its loud as fuck’. And heavy. Very heavy. STAY TUNED!”

Check their FB Page for pics and this n that as well. Pretty big step for the scene, if I may say so myself.

Dionysus – Valor of the Phoenix, and Angels of Heaving Light

Lahore based, genre bending extreme metallers Dionysus released two mind-numbing displays of musical mastery. Check them out. You will not be disappointed.


They do an amazing live set too. I was there at Aftermath, and moshed my fucking arse off to Burial Ground, Eaten (Bloodbath cover) and Valor of the Phoenix. DO NOT miss out on these cats.
