Hey DanSar48, I'm also half-Filipino

Glad you found some stuff you enjoyed in this thread!  Definitely check out the Vandals on the Wall site and I'm sure you'll find even more stuff to your liking!  And thanks for linking Freddie Aguilar.  The name sounded familiar, but I'd never heard anything by him.  The song you linked is awesome!

Bear, I don't have much to offer metal-wise, but I do recall my brother coming across a Filipino "slam death" band at one point. I remember this only because the phrase "slam death" is so funny to me, haha.  I wonder what the band's name was though...

Woah, didn't realize this thread existed until today.
Half-Filipino myself, I've often been curious about music in the Philippines, but I've often felt deterred because of my mom's obsession with love songs and Filipino dramas.
Much of what I've listened to growing up were Sharon Cuneta and Freddie Aguilar, and in the Philippines I either listened to 80's karaoke or F4 (A popular Taiwanese band at the time).
While I still don't understand much, I've tried to appreciate the music since I'm personally inclined to learn at least some rudimentary Tagalog to speak with my relatives & cousins more casually.
I've found a ton of artists on here that I already like (Join the Club, Encounters with a Yeti, Slow Hello,etc.) so now I'm more inclined to pick up more artists .
 
I'm not too familiarized with Filipino artists, but I have one favorite that I'll include here:
 
Freddie Aguilar - Anak
 


 
I find this song to be very touching lyrically, and I love his voice.
This has sent me on a few guilt trips >_>...

 

I also seem to fall in this category, probably due to my love of ballads and "melody-driven" material. You can feel the emotion in Akatsuki's voice especially in his slight vibrato (if I'm using the term properly).
 

From experience most ppl on MH won't like this kind of sound, but i really love it (>_<)

Lately as im checking the site , looking at active and inactive members , the times a file gets downloaded and how many posts/likes there are i starting to see that the forum is starting to turn in to a leecher base . There is so many users that registered over half a year ago , that check almost each post frequently but have 0 posts . Most of sites that have downloads have some regulations , like having at least 10 posts or more to get to the download section , or virtual money where you can buy downloads . I think it might be worth to at least think that idea through as MH EXCLUSIVE was abandoned and some ppl like me who work hard as hell and can afford only 1-2 albums every 2 months , dont want their uploads being stole and reposted on some stupid crappy blog of some ungrateful kiddo .
A quick example , one of my recent posted albums Salty Dog - Goodnight, Cruel World EP , was already downloaded 289 times , HOW? , the number of views is a little over 50 and it was posted yesterday . I already found it reposted on 2 crappy blogs without my premission , without any credits to me or at least this forum . I know that bloacking off users who only leech from this site will not stop this from happening , but it will be on lower scale .
For now i will see what other users and the forums admins and mods think about this and what do they have in mind , but for now im not gonna upload new stuff from myself cause i dont want my uploads to roam freely around the web and than losing my account on a sharing site cause of high traffic on a file (100000 downloads in 1 day when i posted only on 1 site and there only 5 ppl climed to download the file) .
Quick example of a person who only leech .
GustaveXII - registered almost 4 years ago , only 1 post , i see him online every 2-3 days .

I'm not at all familiar with these artists, but...
 
The KISAKI one appears to be: "KISAKI - 「地下線神言基地」 購入者特典kisakiレアcd"
Romaji: KISAKI - 「Chikasen Shingon Kichi」 (Bonus kisaki rare cd)
 
The Magverry one is here: http://www.puresound.co.jp/script/detail.php?id=101082161001
this one doesn't have a "title" - it just says 無料配布CD Ver.2 ("Free distributed CD Ver.2")
 
The KING one has no title, so..

The GHOST one: http://www.puresound.co.jp/script/detail.php?id=102000634001
 
The Ayabie one: http://www.puresound.co.jp/script/detail.php?id=102000553

I know right! The classroom setting reminds me a lot of Capella and ALiBi as well, lol. Maybe it's gonna be more "fun" sounding And Tohma looks really different here o.0

I had the cheesiest grin going on throughout this video. This is probably my favorite "look" of the band so far (Coming from a guy, Chisa looks absolutely stunning...)

I'm somewhere between intrigued and mildly confused. I guess if you sum it up though, life really is addition...
Nevertheless, looking forward to the release so I can add it to my collection (which would be a big plus). 
 
(yay for math puns)
