ON A METAL MISSION

subMission was formed in May 2005 by a number of musicians, who have been active in the Namibian and SA scene for many years. The current line-up was completed at the beginning of 2007, when Sakkie van Niekerk joined the band.

The band plays modern heavy metal music, blending melody with power and in-your-face energy, featuring ex-members of well known local bands Pyplyn, Arcana XXII, Obscured and Desert Velvet.

The members of subMission love all kinds of heavy music ranging from Iron Maiden to Metallica from Evergrey to Dream Theater from Led Zeppelin to Deep Purple, from Nevermore to In Flames, from System of a Down to Dimmu Borgir. Oh, and we also like Dark Tranquility, Morbid Angel, Judas Priest, Trivium, WASP, Uriah Heep, Nocturnal Rites, Kind Diamond, Slayer, Black Sabbath, Britney Spears….. this is becoming ridiculous.
