HISTORY OF DOOM: VALLEY OF CHROME Edition! 💥

Valley of Chrome formed on December 23, 2000, in Los Baños, Laguna, initially under the name Batch 98. The band adopted their current name from a Cypress Hill song title, though some say the acronym V.O.C. was chosen for its similarity to Vision of Disorder (VoD). Their sound blends metal with hardcore and punk elements, incorporating melodic hard rock and pop influences through their riffs and vocal arrangements. The band has released six EPs and six full-length albums, with musical influences ranging from In Flames, Atreyu, and Killswitch Engage to classic acts like Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Guns N' Roses.

The band's early years saw three EP releases: Transparent, Beyond Definition, and Anthems for the Sell-Out Youth (the latter recorded at Tower of Doom) before eventually signing with Viva Records in 2004. Their debut, Love and Devotion, led to tours with Chicosci and Typecast. By 2007, they returned to Tower of Doom and participated in the TOD Siege Tours of 2007 and 2008, releasing Never the Lifeless in 2008. Their track "Forever Young" became an unofficial anthem for the Siege Tour acts. After their longest recording gap, the band returned in 2012 with a self-titled album written entirely in Filipino—the result of a challenge from producer Eric Perlas to frontman Rogel. This album went on to become one of their most popular releases and expanded their local audience significantly.

Their 2019 album Victorious features artwork by Brazilian artist Marcelo Vasco, known for his work with Slayer, Kreator, and Testament. The 2022 dual-language album "Confront Thy Curse" yielded "Mahirap Mahalin," which won Best Rock/Alternative Recording at the Awit Awards—a notable crossover achievement for the Philippine metal genre. Their most recent release is the 2024 EP For Tomorrow Is Never Promised, featuring tracks "Luha ng Kaaway," "Walang Takot," and "Boses."

Valley of Chrome has opened for international acts including Shadows Fall and Trivium in Manila, and performed at major festivals like PULP Summer Slam (with At The Gates) and Indonesia's Hammersonic Festival (with In Flames). In August 2019, they became the first ever all-Filipino band to perform at Germany's Wacken Open Air festival, following their 2019 Crows and Vikings Tour across the Philippines, Thailand, USA, Singapore, and Australia with Typecast. From humble beginnings in Los Baños to performing alongside metal's biggest names at the world's premier festivals, VOC has demonstrated that Philippine metal belongs on the international stage.

FACT CHECK: NOBITA Edition! 🎸 3 Things To Know

1. Nobita was formed in Valenzuela in May 2018 when Mark Quintero, Sam Aquino, and Jonathan Agbanlog left their previous band Kultura due to creative differences. They recruited Jaeson Felismino as vocalist after Mark recalled his performance at a fundraising event for cancer patients. The band name comes from a Katakana word meaning "to grow up strong and clear," and they also admit they just found it on Google—but they truly lived up to its meaning through their journey together! 🌱

2. "Ikaw Lang" broke records as the most streamed Filipino song on Spotify Philippines in 2022—an incredible achievement considering it was released two years earlier in 2020! The song became a sleeper hit through TikTok trends and gained even more momentum after Nobita released the official music video in October 2021. It charted for over 60 weeks on Billboard Philippines Songs, making it one of the longest charting songs on the platform and the first song ever to chart for at least a year. The official music video has been watched over 33 million times as of December 2025 and their lyric video alone has racked up 116 million views on YouTube! The song has currently surpassed 414 million streams on Spotify, and has earned them over 3 million monthly listeners, proving its lasting impact on Filipino listeners, and has even received a Diamond Record Award! 💎

3. DID YOU KNOW: Korean actor Park Bo-gum (starred in "Good Boy", "Reply 1988," and "When Life Gives You Tangerines," among others) learned and performed Nobita's song during his recent Fan Meeting Tour 2025 at the Mall Of Asia Arena! He actually fumbled singing the Tagalog lyrics a bit, but the audience was more than willing to help him out and sing along. This unexpected recognition shows how Nobita's music and melodies transcend language barriers, proving that OPM has the power to capture hearts worldwide. 🌏
