Bedlam Royals just released a studio documentary on YouTube tracking the making of their album day by day, from gear and mic setups to producer Kiệt Trần’s mixing philosophy. A rare, deeply technical look at how the record was built.
Picture this: you’re on a boat with pirates and nobody’s checking a map. That’s the closest I can get to describing a night at Cùng Hội Cùng Thuyền 5. Your favorite Viet indie bands take the stage, then the stage stops belonging to the stage, bodies flying, hands grabbing mics that aren’t theirs, beers going up before they go down.
A unique setup and style inspired by the late night shows filled with various genres and styles.
Fifth edition of Ethos’ Scene Incubator featuring three quite different acts: H4VOK, Con Ca Dien, and No Sleep Session
Saigon Slamming Death Metal band H4VOK debuts with DEVOURER (feat. CHƠN), a crushing first single built on heavy riffs, samples, and unapologetic low end. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jackk Nguyễn at Stimpack Records, it previews their full debut set for June 2026
Bedlam Royals turned their album release into a study in restraint, trading spectacle for atmosphere and tension. Toanraw opened with post-punk melancholy setting the mood early. Together, the two acts built a night defined by patience and focus, proof that Saigon’s heavy scene still has plenty of new ground to explore.

Scene Incubator #4 brought a colorful evening as usual: dream pop, pop-punk, and all flavors of metal.
Saigon metallic hardcore unit Empathize drop their self-titled debut EP, four tracks turning anger, frustration, and inner conflict into a raw, uncompromising statement. The message is blunt: suffering is inevitable, but cowardice is a choice. Stand your ground and face it.
