DCxSlayer Collection launches with Valley of Chrome performance
THE much-anticipated DCxSlayer Collection launch event unfolded in a crescendo of excitement and energy, leaving attendees with a night to remember.
Hosted by John Joe and featuring captivating performances from renowned bands, the evening celebrated the convergence of two iconic brands — DC Shoes and Slayer.
Jan Marron Villapando, DC Shoes marketing supervisor, kicked off the night by expressing gratitude to the enthusiastic audience, acknowledging the challenges faced in bringing the DCxSlayer Collection to the Philippines.
Despite delays and shipment issues, the collection is set to drop in
February.
“This much-anticipated DCxSlayer Collection is a collaboration that channels over four decades of Slayer’s rebellious soundtrack. Slayer’s music has always been synonymous with pushing against authority and defying conventions. Their music has resonated with the skateboarding and street lifestyle of DC Shoes, and we are proud to continue this legacy of defiance,” Villapando said.
For the fortunate few who preordered, shipments are scheduled this coming February, while others are urged to act swiftly due to the limited availability. The collection will be available regularly on the website (http://www.dcshoes.com.ph) and all DC Stores nationwide, as well as selected Grind Philippines stores.
The event, proudly sponsored by DC Shoes Philippines, Primer Group of Companies, Numinous Events in conjunction with the venue partner Balcony Music House, set the stage for a night brimming with Slayer covers and the raw power of heavy music.
The climax of the night arrived with Valley of Chrome. The band graced the stage for their last Philippine show for a while since their frontman, Rogel Simon, will be moving overseas.
The band covered the Slayer track, “Raining Blood” and ended their set with a hair-raising performance of one of their biggest hit songs, “Forever Young.”
