Asian metal masters Valley of Chrome slay it AGAIN on a new single. The band hailing from the land of Baluts, Philippines, have unleashed a brand new single entitled ‘Mahirap Mahalin’ and may be the first track in 2021 where after the intro we had to stop the song and go back and listen to it – just the intro. And then of course the rest of the song is equally as bananas. Luckily, vocalist Rogel is always super supportive of us hitting him up in the middle of the day to find out more.
“‘Mahirap Mahalin’ is “Hard To Love” or “Difficult To Love” in English. The track speaks of one’s love/hate relationship with his country. It’s also a metaphor for the Philippines being a woman experiencing domestic violence in the hands of our leaders. It’s a short but very challenging song and we’re super proud of it. Even if metal here is not the top priority we feel it should be heard as it’s very relatable especially in today’s times.”
Go blast this new jam now! There’s even a face-melting guitar solo in this madness!
Check out a brand new Taiwanese hardcore band called GUNPOINT, who’ve just dropped their debut demo ‘Don’t Ever Stop Moving’. The band were kind enough to send us some...
