Its the iconic nightmare: An innocent woman, treading carefully through an abandoned factory in search of whatever.  Its midnight and the only light is the full moon and some random red lights flashing down some empty hallway in the distance.  Suddenly a loud thud crashes from the distance behind.  The woman turns to see a growing shadow coming to life and give chase...cue the music from SWITCH: An brash industrial metal band from Cagayan de Oro.  Their music - an unapologetic blend of metal guitar, synth, and screaming vocals, abrasive enough to ruin any paintjob.  IQ and Wilbert, the duo behind this beautiful noise, have created a truly unique blend of music, not for the faint of heart, but brilliantly composed to create a dynamic blend of haunting melodies and violent riffs injected with an angry dose of synth noise.  You'll never enjoy bleeding ears this much again!

IQ's Entry

Wil: Guitars and noise

IQ: Vocals, samples, drum machines and synths

A solo project concieved by IQ during the late 90's constructed of gritty samples,synthesizers, keyboards, thundering drum machines, putrid yet melodic vocals, heavy slashing guitars and unconventional studio processing as a tool of chaotic expression. Their crushing sound influenced by the gods of industrial-dance-metal, Ministry, NIN, KMFDM, Nitzer ebb, to the 80's Depeche mode, Duran Duran, New order and 90's Grunge rock.

"The music is nothing new, but we do try to make it sound a bit different from what is heard on the local scene..., its electronic, its aggressive, noisy and a shock value of as if being bashed in the face by a hammer five hundred times."
