Ards Cafe

Tribute to SLAYER

On March 29, 2003 at the Tribute to SLAYER gig at Ards Cafe in Katipunan Avenue, QC, it became a reunion of the original members of BLASPHEMOUS CREMATION because their respective bands were both lined up on that night. Years came by and the Manila Underground Metal Scene became alive again with metal gigs on almost every weekend.

Club Dredd and Yosh Cafe Closed

After a few years, Club Dredd and Yosh Cafe were shut down and this has triggered the Manila Underground Metal Scene, as well as the band, to diminish.

While Blasphemous Cremation became inactive with the metal gigs and rehearsals, the individual members were diverted to their newly formed bands, Alfred became the drummer of the black metal band INCARION, while JHAMYL and ARIES formed the band THIRD ARM and EXTREME RESPONSE.

The Birth of Blasphemous Creation

BLASPHEMOUS CREMATION was formed during the "Alberto sa Dredd Part 3" era in the mid 90's at Club Dredd EDSA Quezon City where the bands NECRODEUS, ABADDON and AROMA was lined up. NECRODEUS made a cover from Cadaver, Hypocrisy and Morbid Angel, ABADDON made a Slayer cover and AROMA covered Napalm Death and Brutal Truth songs. Due to the common inclination to brutal fast music, they formed BLASPHEMOUS CREMATION, a side-project band to cover some songs from the Tampa, Florida band DEICIDE.

The original members are:

JASON-Guitars (from the band Aroma)
ARIES-Vocals (from the band Aroma)
WARREN-Bass
JHAMYL-Guitars (from the band Abaddon)
ALFRED - Drums (from the band Necrodeus and Ourophobia)

They played some songs of DEICIDE from the "Once upon the Cross" Album (Once Upon the Cross, Behind the Light Thou Shall Rise, They are the Children of the Underworld) and a Grindcore version of Slayer's "Angel of Death". They performed on numerous underground metal gigs afterwards.
