“It’s kind of small, There’s around 10 extreme bands here and around 20 bands play some popular rock or mainstream metal. Not any label exists here.

Maybe only mine, Bloody Chunks Records, a small studio record label for metal bands around the city, but the products are just free to download – we don’t sell much so maybe we can’t call ourselves a record label.

Vietnamese people are still afraid of this kind of music. Black, death, brutal, grindcore is still something that can’t be understood by them. Just a small community with 100 to 200 people in Ho Chi Minh City know it well and enjoy the gigs.”
