Meza Virs - Detroit Metal City Launch! - Live At Heeren

THE ONLY DETROIT METAL CITY SHOWDOWN IN TOWN

The live-action feature adaptation of the popular manga Detroit Metal City will have
a “Detroit Metal City Showdown” (DMC 大派对) at The Heeren on 5pm, 14 th March
2009 (Saturday)!

This event kicks off with the “Trendy Mushroom Hairstyle Hunt” competition, inspired
by the main character’s signature mushroom hairstyle. The shortlisted finalists will
appear at this event to roleplay the Soichi Negishi character in a scene from the
movie. The winners stand to win prizes worth more than S$1,000 in total! People
who are interested to participate are encouraged to email their photographs (headonly
photographs will suffice) to contest@encorefilms.com by 8 th March 2009.

Following, there will be a sizzling live performance on Metal music. This is to feature
the other main character in the movie, the charismatic Johannes Krauser II who is
the lead singer of the metal band Detroit Metal City or DMC in short. Meza Virs, a
popular local metal band, has accepted our invitation to give this performance. They
have released their debut album “Vida Sacrificium Meum Est” in 2007 and received
overwhelmingly positive reviews both locally and internationally.


Detroit Metal City, more affectionately known to its manga and anime fans as DMC，
revolves around a conservative and pureminded boy (played by KenichiMatsuyama-DeathNote and L change the World) who leaves his countryside home to go to Tokyo with a dream of becoming a fancy pop singer. In a twist of fate, he is forced to debut as a member of the satanic Death Metal band "Detroit Metal City" (DMC), whose trademark is an eccentric makeup and destructive performance. Despite the intention of becoming a pop celebrity, he makes a triumphant debut as the Death Metal vocalist and the story hilariously describes the array of his woes until he finally faces off against the legendary and worldrenowned Death Metal vocalist "Jack IL Dark" (played by Gene Simmons, member of rock band KISS) on the stage!

Detroit Metal City, jointly distributed by Encore Films and Golden Village Pictures,
opens in cinemas islandwide on 19 th March 2009.

This movie Rocks but i still prefer the anime... Much of the series is all jammed pack inside one movie but it still gives a lot of laughs. Maybe the ending is a bit of disappointing but its still funny...
