Even when performing with just the two of them, Wuu still sets the stage on fire.

For nearly 20 years, the ancient capital of Hue hasn't had a metal rock show. Not only in Hue, but in Vietnam, the number of people pursuing metal music is very modest. However, the flow of metal music still subtly permeates the simple lives of the people of Hue, waiting for an opportunity to unleash their passion for this "heavy" genre.

X-Metal was founded with the aim of creating a platform and a place for interaction between metal bands and listeners of this genre. Having organized its first metal show on February 5, 2005, X-Metal has 19 years of experience in organizing shows and tours for rock bands, including foreign bands, in Vietnam.

Following Binh Duong, Hoi An, and Da Nang , Hue was the final stop for X-Metal on their Middle Of Nowhere tour. This tour marked the debut album of Mundane, a death metal band featuring Vietnamese songs, "Hoi Dau Thi Ngan." Besides the two local bands, Napalm and Cochinchine, X-Metal also presented Hue audiences with music from three other renowned rock bands: Wuu, Crossdown, and Mundane.

“This is the first time X-Metal and its band members have performed in Hue , but we are very much looking forward to the support of the metal community in the ancient capital,” said Trung Loki, representative of X-Metal. The response from the Hue audience did not disappoint the artists. The small space on the banks of the Nhu Y River in Cochincung was ignited by the enthusiasm of the audience, a testament to the fact that the flame of metal rock still smolders here, nurtured by the most sincere passion.
