My Lame Metal Chronology (warning: for inquiring minds only)



Hello nothingness...

I have nothing interesting to post here so I came up with this one. I know its lame. You can always put some comment on the shoutbox at the right hand side of this site, feel free to do so, hehehe, here it is...

Chummy's Cebu Metal Scene Chronology (circa 2005 to the present)




  • 10/8/2005-Chummy returns to Cebu shores (fresh out of Cagayan de Oro) after a 5 year absence and the Cebu Metal Scene was forever changed for the better....yah, right, dream on stoopid.

  • 10/9-3/17/2006-Jams with Orom and attended metal gigs as a way of supporting the scene. Fervently seeking band mates to resurrect AGNAS.

  • 3/18/2006-Hellfest II @ BBQ.COM, Panagdait, Mabolo

Played as AGROM:

Chummy-Bass/Vocals
Jerry Seyer-Guitars
Rico Mediano-Drums

Playing as AGROM (Agnas and Orom combined ala Dragonball Z..hehehe...). With Elmer prematurely going abroad for work and The Fang unable to break the bonds that tied him at that time, Chummy, Jerry and Rico were forced to play impromptu without a vocalist and a 2nd axeman to complete the Orom line-up. All the set list were compromised.

Set list:
1.Greed Killing-Napalm Death
2.Contact Wait Out-Bolt Thrower
3.The Killchain-Bolt Thrower
4.And Here I Die…Satisfied-Grave

Played with BARABAS (black metal from Cagayan de Oro City)

Killoyed Dominguez-Guitar/Vocals
Monyo Pumbo-Drums
Chummy-Bass

During that 5 year absence in the Cebu Metal Scene due to Chummy being assigned to Cagayan de Oro City, he and Malaybalay, Bukidnon metallers Killoyed and Monyo (of Nativescream fame) formed BARABAS and frequently have jamming and drinking sessions at that time. CEMP included Barabas as one of the 3 guest bands outside of Cebu.

Set list:
1.Tales from the Blackened Horde-Enthroned
2.Freezing Moon-Mayhem
3.Funeral Fog-Mayhem
4.Countess Bathory-Venom

  • 11/4/2006-Demonociety Anniversary gig @ Boss Grill, Gen. Maxilom, Cebu

Played as AGNAS:

Chummy-Bass/Vocals
Jerry Seyer-Guitars
Bluesy Kenny-Guitars
Rico Mediano-Drums

Chummy finaly convinced Jerry, Rico and new metalhead Kenny Bacaltos to join in to form AGNAS version 2.1 (Agnas version 2.0 is with original drummer Chuck who’s flesh was unavailable at that time but his spirit was always willing) and due to time constraints were forced to play a milder thrash oriented set which all the members knew how to play at an instant.

Set list:
1.South of Heaven-Slayer
2.Seasons in the Abyss-Slayer
3.Mandatory Suicide-Slayer
4.Bloodline-Slayer
5.Greed Killing-Napalm Death

  • 5/19/2007-Visayan Metal Fest III @ Boss Grill, Gen. Maxilom, Cebu

Played as AGNAS:

Chummy-Bass/Vocals
Chuck Tomelden-Drums
Jerry Seyer-Guitars
Bluesy Kenny-Guitars

Agnas version 2.0 finally got to play and took part of one grand metal event.

Set list:
1.Judas-Grave
2.Get A Life-Gorefest
3.From Ignorance to Oblivion-Gorefest
4.Confessions of A Serial Killer-Gorefest
5.Mandatory Suicide-Slayer

Played with OROM:

Elmer Pascual-Vocals
The Fang-Guitars
Jojo the Grind-Drums
Chummy-Bass

Set list:
1.Inside the Wire-Bolt Thrower

3.Saneless Theory-Benediction
4.Contact Wait Out-Bolt Thrower

  • 11/7/2007-Re-recorded “Darkness Cometh” with AGNAS version 2.1 for the CEMP CD compilation. The song was written and recorded by Agnas version 1.1 (Keryll Demeterio, Nel Cellacay, Chuck Tomelden and yours truly) in 1995 at A. Salonga Recording Studio via 8 track analog recording. Due to time constraints and Agnas had no recent compositions to date, were forced yet again to just rerecord an old tune, a simple and still effective solution…hehehe...tnx to Agnas version 1.1 for letting us do so.

  • 11/10/2007-The Reckoning gig @ Kasadja parking lot, Lahug, Cebu

Played as AGNAS:

Chummy-Bass/Vocals
Jerry Seyer-Guitars
Bluesy Kenny-Guitars
Rico Mediano-Drums

The launching of the CEMP CD compilation. Together with other 17 metal bands from Cebu, Bohol, Dumaguete, Bacolod and Iloilo.

Set list:
1.Contact Wait Out-Bolt Thrower
2.The Kill Chain-Bolt Thrower
3.Get A Life-Gorefest
4.From Ignorance to Oblivion-Gorefest
5.Darkness Cometh 2007-self composition

  • 11/11/2007 and beyond……….

Due to line-up disturbances AGNAS were not able to perform during some of the gigs that were happening in Cebu (i.e. gigs like Mi Ultimo Adios, Night of the Apocalypse, Hellfest III, The Age of Plagues, 7 Angels 7 Plagues, ), though the bands’ name and logo appeared to those gigs promotions, such as flyers, posters and internet pressings and for that, behalf of the other members of the band, I’m terribly sorry and we hope to fulfill our part in the future gigs to come. Nuff said.heheheh
