Slapshock produces medicine as loud and violent as its make. Slapshock is commonly compared to Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Slipknot, as the band combines hip-hop and sonorous metal to feed the market's appetency for roughshod, in-your-face rap-rock. Slapshock formed in Manila, Philippines, on February 14, 1996, with vocaliser Reynold Munsayac, bassist Lee Nadela, guitarists Leandro Ansing and Jerry Basco, and drummer Chi Evora. Nadela, Ansing, and Munsayac met at college; they were all attending UP Diliman in the Philippines. Wanting to castrate their sound, the mathematical group dropped Munsayac and replaced him with Basco's full cousin, Jamir Garcia, wHO had only returned from the U.S. While in America, Garcia had a band called Bruce Lee's Curse and was familiar with the East Coast hardcore rap scene; his background signal greatly contributed to the counseling Slapshock would quick take. The chemical group reinforced up a next in Manila's underground clubs. The band was quickly lumped in with deuce other virtually exchangeable Filipino acts of the Apostles -- Cheese and Greyhoundz -- world Health Organization pounded listeners into submission à la their foreign counterparts. When Slapshock open for the alternative metal mathematical group Wolfgang during its Serve in Silence enlistment, the band generated excitement amongst angst-ridden teens in the Philippines as well as disdain from conservatives wHO felt such dim, blisteringly noisy medicine was a risky influence on early days. Older fans world Health Organization believed they were blazing bandwagon-jumpers ridiculed them. Nevertheless, Slapshock's 1999 debut record album, 4th Degree, did well. On August 30, 2002, the band performed at the Folk Arts Theater in Manila and became the first gear rap-metal move to sell kayoed all 8,000 seating room in the venue. The band's songs continued to dominate new rock radiocommunication in the Philippines as its third base full-length, Picture 11-41, was released that year. Contrive 11-41 displayed some sense of melody, only a issue of critics felt that the chemical group was placid to a fault differential coefficient to be taken seriously. Despite that, Project 11-41 was one of 2002's well-nigh commercially successful albums in the Philippines, and Slapshock was voted Artist/Band of the Year at the NU-107 Rock Awards.
