UNLEASH THE FURY

In a world of polished pop and cookie-cutter cover bands, VELVET METAL tears through the noise with a blistering, unapologetic tribute to the golden era of alternative, nu metal, and rap metal. This powerhouse 4-piece delivers the raw, unfiltered energy, aggression, and catharsis that fans of late '90s and early 2000s heavy music crave — the kind of sound rarely seen (or dared) on the function band circuit, let alone performed at this level.

Their show is an explosive tribute to the heavy hitters that shaped a generation — ripping through anthems like Foo Fighters’ All My Life, Limp Bizkit’s Break Stuff and Rollin’, System of a Down’s Chop Suey!, Linkin Park’s In the End, Papa Roach’s Last Resort, Slipknot’s Wait and Bleed, and Rage Against the Machine’s Killing in the Name — performed with ferocity, precision, and deep respect for the originals. These are cultural touchstones, anthems of rebellion and raw emotion that still resonate with a fiercely passionate audience.

Our video promo offers a glimpse into this sonic maelstrom, showcasing our ability to capture the energy and intensity of these legendary artists.

FORGING METAL EXCELLENCE
We are united by a singular purpose: to deliver the definitive live metal experience.

VELVET METAL’s carefully curated repertoire is a deep dive into the aggressive, high-energy world of alternative heavy music — with dashes of earlier classics and other hard-hitting sub-genres to keep things fresh, relevant, and unpredictable. Specialising in the anthems that defined the alternative and nu-metal explosion, we also pay homage to the foundational titans. We demolish genre boundaries while staying true to the core that unites them all. This is the music that packed arenas and tore up festival stages — now reimagined for live events that want something real.

Fronted by Rod, a vocal beast with inhuman range, we deliver commanding performances worthy of the genre’s most demanding tracks. Rod's vocal mastery allows us to seamlessly transition from soaring melodic lines to guttural screams, delivering each iconic vocal with power and precision. Alongside him, our bassist and co-lead vocalist brings grit and clarity — allowing the band to authentically perform the multi-layered, vocally extreme arrangements these songs are known for. From huge melodic hooks to heavy rap verses and throat-tearing screams, the duo’s vocal chemistry hits every corner of the genre with total credibility.

Behind them, a crushing, razor-sharp guitar work and a drummer who punishes his kit with precision and aggression — locking into the groove and unleashing chaos when needed — form the backbone of the band’s relentless sound. The result? VELVET METAL effortlessly recreates — and elevates — the sound that defined a generation of heavy music lovers, delivering the tone and power of the original recordings with total authenticity.

THE ULTIMATE METAL THROWDOWN
Whether it’s a corporate party looking to make a bold statement, a private event for die-hard rockers, or a festival crowd craving nostalgia and adrenaline, VELVET METAL delivers a high-octane, crowd-moving spectacle that defies expectations. Loud, locked-in, and relentlessly tight, they’re not just playing metal — they’re restoring its place on stages where it’s long been ignored.

This isn’t your average function band. This is a full-throttle, no-compromise metal experience crafted for those who grew up in the pit, who know every lyric by heart, and who thought they’d never hear their music at this type of event — and certainly not performed with this kind of professionalism, intensity, and respect for the source material.

Forget safe.

VELVET METAL is your gateway to a high-impact, exclusive live experience that no other event band can offer.

For fans of Linkin Park, Korn, Deftones, Rage, Slipknot, SOAD, Limp Bizkit, and beyond — this is the band you’ve been waiting for.
