TOP TEN OPM BANDS

This is the top ten opm bands in my opinion. These bands are really good in their shit, doing awesome music distinctively. while some of the bands have good air plays, not all of them are actually good in live performances on stage. That is why i have made a decision to express my thoughts on who the heck really is good making music here in the philippines. This list may not be complete and precisely correct for the very reason that still i am not able to attend all of the gigs out here in this country. Well, of course, it would be expensive to do that. Anyways, this is the list of the bands i think is really good making music in the country:


  1. updharmadown - They nailed it when it comes to making music as something you can crave every time you hear music. As I've said from my previous article that these guys are really awesome and do good stuffs and even if you will have the time to see these guys play live on stage; it's like listening to their record. They're pretty good performing their songs live in stage.
  2. reklamo - Have you seen a crazy-like filipino play a kick ass riffs in guitars while dancing and singing? Well, if the answers no, then this is the band who does the addjectives i have mentioned to someone playing in stage doing tremendously difficult riffs and he can still play around on stage live. Such a remarkable guitarist i have ever encountered. This trio, bytheway, has been the band to represent the country to compete in the world battle of the bands lately.
  3. silent sanctuary - For me this band is cool. their style is unique and something you could appreciate much more when you see them performing live. Such smooth music and rhytmn that will blow your mind away. I have seen them live and it make my world turn around and felt surprised by these band.
  4. giniling festival - The band who did the song "Hari ng Metal" and "Psycho". UP students, nowadays, are dominating the music scene and today. LOL. To begin with, this band is a killer i may say. Kick ass guitar licks and a super hilariuos lyrics. And also, these fellows love the word "Tae" before they start the gig and rock the stage.
  5. typecast- EMO or not; but, this band is one who i think is working a lot to create a good stuff in order to prove to the people that making music is hard to the bones. the chemistry of these band is quite impeccable and undetemined for it's rich guitar fills, drums, and rhytmic blending.
  6. sin - One of the most discriminated metal band which i have heard in many metal music goers. But, for me, they are good in their stuff and are hell of a performer when doing live on stage.
  7. urbandub - No doubt about it. One of the most in the philippine music industry finest. humongous potential to be an international artist; maybe, in a couple of years or so. Good songs and heavy riffs. Ultimate performers in stage and this is the only band i have seen setting and tuning their things up whenever they're in stage in preparation for the first and last song.
  8. taken by cars - A multi genre inspired band. I have seen them live and they're totally one hell of an experience onto the journey of making music in the history of the Philippines. these guys are geniuses in making an artistic music.
  9. plane divides the sky - Another multi genre inspired band. Making a diversity in composing songs and the writings are quite impressive as well. The arrangement they make are quite remarkable.
  10. death after birth - A death metal band coming from marikina and kick ass on stage. However, the voice is not that scarry as hell but the riffs nailed it. the vocalist of this band is singing while playing an awesome licks. That's something i am fascinated. this band is a guitar riffing killers.

These are the bands i have seen performing live and so fucking good. These bands also have different styles writing songs and quite distinctively artistic in a way they do their stuff. They really are breathing music as their soul. Quite impressive listening to them.
