Playing in the trenches of pioneering rock clubs Mayrics and Club Dredd, and inciting musical mayhem during college events helped Slapshock grab the audience’s attention and the recording industry’s. The band was signed by EMI Music Philippines in 1998, which resulted in their first platinum-selling album 4th Degree Burn, This album birthed many cult-favorite tracks and cemented Slapshock’s place in the annals of rock history.
Succeeding albums released through the years only proved Slapshock’s prolific ability to create successful albums that music lovers also revere. The list goes one, from their 2nd platinum-selling album Headtrip (2001), to the 3rd platinum-selling disc Project 11-41 (2002), the gold record award album Novena (2004), to Silence (2006), the greatest hits disc Recollection (2008) and the critically acclaimed album Cariño Brutal (2009). The latter’s single of the same name went on to become 2010’s biggest rock hit. Showing their penchant for music that crosses boundaries, the titular track was consistently played on mainstream radio, a feat rarely achieved by metal bands.
Slapshock has collected a number of awards throughout their career, including being consistent winners of the NU 107 Rock Awards. They were named Band of the Year and Listener’s Choice twice, and received Best New Artist (2000) and Bassist of the Year (2001). The recognition continues as the band received the award for Rock Artist of the Year at the 2010 PMPC Star Awards for Music.
Across shores, Slapshock has also gotten their fist in the musical arena. They became the Philippines’ representatives to the 2003 MTV Asia Awards in Singapore, presenting to musical contemporaries LINKIN PARK. Slapshock received the distinction of being the first Filipino, and Asian band for that matter, to play at the Dubai Desert Rock Festival in 2008. They shared the stage with rock heavyweights KORN, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, VELVET REVOLVER, AS I LAY DYING, MACHINE HEAD AND MUSE AT THIS MOST PRESTIGIOUS ANNUAL ROCK EVENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THOUSANDS OF ROCK AFICIONADOS WHO GATHERED FROM ALL PARTS OF THE GLOBE HEARD SLAPSHOCK, WITH MORE THAN A FEW LEAVING AS FANS.
After more than a decade in the music industry, the band stepped on a new plain and completed a USA-Canada Tour in June to July 2009. Slapshock toured the cities of San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Baltimore and Virginia, and the Canadian cities of Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. In another nonreplicable feat, Slapshock has shared the stage with big names in metal like DEATH ANGEL, SEPULTURA, SHADOWS FALL, THE DARKEST HOUR, TRIVIUM, LAMB OF GOD AND TESTAMENT.
Not inclined in any way to slow down, Slapshock became one of the founding members of the Asian super group PROJECT E.A.R. (East Asian Revolution). The latter is a collaboration of top artists from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines, which debuted during the 2009 MTV Asian Music Awards.
Thousands of their CDs have been sold, and played over and over. Thousands of fans have screamed their name and anthems. But one number makes the most impression: 13. Thirteen years and they are the only band still standing and actively playing among their contemporaries. Thirteen years of withstanding changing genres and music popularity with the same core members intact. Thirteen years of growing into their now distinct aural and visual performance that continues to astound its solid rock fan base and incite more to experience the same.

As I kiss the night away
Dont need you love no more

I'm screaming for you to give in to your hopeless life
I'm the cure or your medicine for your corrupted mind

The lyrics to Slapshock's “Burn in Hell” convey a message about the end of a toxic relationship. The song is directed at someone who has caused hurt and pain, and the singer expresses his desire to move on and leave this person behind. The tone of the song is aggressive, reflecting the anger and frustration the singer feels towards his former partner.
The opening line, "I'll watch you burn in hell," is a clear indication of the singer's resentful attitude towards his ex. He no longer needs or wants their love, having left behind the tears and scars of their relationship. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the singer's resolve to move on from the pain and hurt that he has experienced.
The song also makes references to angels and the afterlife, with the implication that the singer has reached a sort of revelation about his life and his toxic relationship. He has been shown the truth about his partner and their poisonous behavior, and he now understands the need to break away and move on. The final lines of the song, "I got no sympathy... Leaving you almost dead, goodbye!" are a final farewell to the toxic partner, indicating the singer is done with them and has moved on.

Iaalay ko ang kantang ito kay Christine Dacera na alak at pakadyot muna bago pumanaw. Kasalanan mo ito, kung nag-stay ka sa pamilya mo, hindi ka sana namatay so you deserved to burn in hell.
