Slapshock
Slapshock was a Filipino heavy metal band from Metro Manila. They were formed in 1996, originally as a nu metal act, with their early musical style compared to that of Korn. They later shifted towards a metalcore style.
The group was formed on February 14, 1996, by several students at UP Diliman, with original vocalist Reynold Munsayac; he was soon replaced with guitarist Jerry Basco's cousin Jamir Garcia.
Heavily influenced by American East Coast rap, they played in clubs in Manila in the 1990s. Playing in the trenches of pioneering rock clubs Mayric's and Club Dredd, and inciting musical mayhem during college events helped Slapshock grab the audience's attention and the recording industry's.
The band was signed by EMI Music (Polyeast Records) Philippines in 1998, followed by the release of their first platinum-selling album 4th Degree Burn. This album is the birthplace of many cult-favorite tracks like "Agent Orange" which became the rock anthem of the youth during that time and introduced the band to both the underground and commercial scenes. The song won various accolades including Best Engineered Recording in 13th Awit Awards. The band also won awards in NU Rock Awards 2000 including Best New Artists, Listener's Choice and Music Video of the Year for their song "Agent Orange".
On January 26, 2001, the band launched their 2nd album "Headtrip" at U.P. Bahay Ng Alumni. the band received nominations at 2001 NU Rock Awards. and the band won Artists of the Year, Listener's Choice and Bassist of the Year for Lee Nadela at 2001 Nu Rock Awards.
