PULP SUMMER
SLAM is the longest running and largest annual metal festival in
Southeast Asia. Now on its
14th year, PULP SUMMER SLAM 14 has seven top international heavy metal bands coming in for the single day festival, which typically runs 15 hours from the opening of gates at noon to the close of the festival a few hours after
midnight. This will be the 12th year it has been held at the historic Amoranto
Stadium in
Quezon City, Metro Manila.
This year the festival is co-headlined by two gigantic acts from the
United Kingdom:
Bullet For My Valentine and
Asking Alexandria. Both bands have never performed live in the
Philippines and each has millions of fans across the globe. PULP SUMMER SLAM 14 will also see the first performance of thrash metal legends
Kreator and new
Japanese metal sensation
Crossfaith.
Returning for the second time are hardcore favorites
Hatebreed and melodic death metal maniacs
The Black Dahlia Murder. And for the third time on the back of one of the greatest metal
album releases of
2013, "
The Dream Calls For Blood",
Death Angel will once again flatten the denizens of the
Slam with their distinct brand of
Bay Area thrash metal.
Supporting this heavy international line up are seven local bands bearing the pride of Philippines' underground music scene. NU
