   About Stigmata



Pure Sri Lankan Metal - since2000 How do YOU like YOUR musical orgasm? Progressive? With some Technical Thrash? Full of mystery and surprises? Or just a touch more mind blowing than perceived? Hailing from a paradise that’s long been torn between its own enriched cultural and historical backdrop and an afflicted abysmal landscape is Stigmata; a bold, multi-faceted musical ensemble that have bled for its artistry since early 2000. Stigmata is the soul of Sri Lanka’s metal movement being the pioneering act to first combine their love for Metal and their desire to chisel something unique and powerful, fabricating and blending a myriad of styles and elements cohesively to single handedly change the perceptions of a great many through the years. Stigmata has suffered a great deal through 9 years of dedication to their music, have outlived numerous trends and have carved a place for Heavy Metal in Sri Lankan culture with relentless passion, and an ocean’s worth of blood, sweat and tears. In an industry tainted by commercialization and popular culture Stigmata shattered every existing norm and accepted ideal by fighting for their music always on their own terms, never compromising their integrity, style and sound. The Band laid the blueprint for metal by marketing, positioning and propagating awareness for themselves by doing things differently - with clenched teeth and fierce motivation. Before Stigmata there was no acceptance for Metal or Hard Rock in Sri Lanka; and from clawing the club scene open for bands to showcase their talent and originality to widening the platform and potential for larger festivals, from forcing potential advertisers & sponsors to acknowledge that corporately backing and financing Metal music is indeed lucrative, to spreading the music around Asia by focusing on strategic, calculated promotions carried out effectively… Stigmata have raged through countless storms and an insurmountable array of obstacles to help lead the revolution of Asian Extreme Metal to the corners of the earth. Stigmata have played over 300 concerts in Sri Lanka, have headlined the first Rock Storm Festival in Maldives and performed at the SAARC Band Festival in 2007 for 25, 000 people. Stigmata have two full length albums to their credit (independently produced and marketed) 2003’s ‘Hollow Dreams’ which was the country’s first Metal album release and 2006’s globally acclaimed ‘Silent Chaos Serpentine’. The Band are hard at work on their highly anticipated 3rd album; have taken over a year in the studio and are eager to launch their monumental masterpiece of epic metal by the end of 2009. Stigmata is the first Sri Lankan band to be featured on legendary travel icon Ian Wright’s new travel series ‘Out of Bounds’ for the Discovery Channel, the band were featured on www.ultimate-guitar.com as one of the Top Unsigned Artistes of the Month and have received reviews around the earth and Silent Chaos Serpentine after 2 and a half years is at number 11 as one of the Top 50 CD Reviews of All Time on Australia’s www.themetalforge.com. 2009 is the year that Stigmata have shattered the paradigm and risen above and beyond with a new record, with a sound that is HUGE but never pretentious, embracing technicality and dexterity but always focusing on creating captivating and moving songs that have in-your-flesh hooks and etches itself in the darkest parts of your mind for a long time after… From possessing an unparalleled stage show to being one of the finest live acts in recent times, Stigmata carry the flag of Unadulterated Sri Lankan Metal to the world with pride. Why? ‘Cos Asia’s time is here and now… Stigmata will capture and enrapture all of your senses not relying on cheap tricks, technological gimmicks and an over zealous image. This is music created with purpose, executed with power and bled for with passion. The Stigmata experience is one which is beautifully chaotic and soothingly cathartic at the same time and one that YOU will never forget.
