CHOP SUEY come from the United Kingdom and have held the title of Europe’s most authentic System of a Down tribute band for over a decade. Their career has been defined by relentless touring across Europe, from intimate clubs to major festival stages.
From the very beginning, the band has focused on absolute loyalty to the original sound. This includes not only musical accuracy but also stage attitude and intensity. These elements made System of a Down one of the most influential bands of the early 2000s.
World-Class Musicians Behind the Project
CHOP SUEY are far from a typical tribute band. The lineup features seasoned professional musicians with extensive international experience. Members include current and former players from Dragonforce, Anti-Nowhere League, Breed 77, Tigertailz, and other recognized acts.
This strong musical pedigree is heard in every performance. Arrangements are tight, the rhythm section is powerful, and the vocals are convincing. As a result, CHOP SUEY feel less like a cover act and more like a living re-creation of the original band.
Capturing the Early-2000s Energy of System of a Down
The band’s greatest strength lies in recreating the raw stage presence of System of a Down at their peak. Audiences do not just get a set of well-known songs. They experience a full-scale concert charged with adrenaline.
Sudden dynamic shifts, aggression, and dark humor define each performance. Every trademark element of SOAD is delivered with high musical precision. Careful attention to detail enhances the overall authenticity.
A Reputation Built on Live Performances
Through powerful live shows, CHOP SUEY have earned a reputation as a must-see act. Across Europe, their concerts consistently receive strong audience reactions.
Fans throughout the region have already experienced this firsthand. Today, CHOP SUEY stand as an unstoppable force on the European tribute scene. Their shows are not to be missed.
Slip-NOT is a relatively new but exceptionally powerful tribute band from the United Kingdom, dedicated to the legendary nu-metal group Slipknot from Iowa. The project brings together experienced musicians, including members of the band Chop Suey, ensuring a high level of professionalism and credibility from the very start.
Although new to the scene, Slip-NOT quickly established itself as a no-compromise live act. The mission is clear: deliver the raw energy and aggression that made Slipknot a global phenomenon.
Musicians with serious pedigree
Special attention goes to drummer Joyzi, a member of the extreme metal supergroup Sinsaenum. In that band, he replaced the late and greatly missed Joey Jordison, Slipknot’s original drummer and one of the most influential figures in modern metal.
This level of experience is audible in every performance. The drumming is brutal, precise, and relentless. The entire band sounds tight and powerful, with no loss of intensity.
A brutal early-2000s Slipknot set
Slip-NOT deliver a ruthless live set built around the most aggressive and iconic songs from Slipknot’s early 2000s era. The focus is on rawness, anger, and chaos — the elements that defined the band’s most intense period.
The audience is never passive. Entire venues erupt into sing-alongs for “Left Behind”, “Wait & Bleed”, “People=Shit”, “Eyeless”, and “Psychosocial”. That shared energy turns each show into a full-scale experience.
A live show with no mercy
Slip-NOT do not offer polished nostalgia. They deliver sweat, chaos, and unfiltered emotion. Their shows are loud, intense, and physically demanding.
For fans of early Slipknot, this is more than a tribute band. It is a live experience that hits hard — and stays with you.
The Violent Inzident is a unique comedy project, band, and something in between. Formed by Tiny D, C-man and Bin man, the group makes it clear from the start that they don’t fit into any traditional musical category.
Their entire approach is built on absurdity, irony, and constantly subverting audience expectations. This is not a band trying to be serious – quite the opposite.
“Post-core-sub-nu-metal” with no rules
They describe their sound as “post-core-sub-nu-metal,” though these labels are more fuel for parody than accurate genre markers. The Violent Inzident relentlessly poke fun at the stereotypes, clichés, and dramatic poses that often accompany heavy music.
Nothing is off limits. Riffs, image, lyrics, and stage presence swing between parody and pure chaos, sending a clear message: metal sometimes takes itself way too seriously.
Not for everyone – and they proudly admit it
The band openly states that they are not for everyone. Especially not for modern-day “snowflakes” or anyone lacking a sense of self-irony. Their humor is direct, exaggerated, and occasionally uncomfortable by design.
The Violent Inzident aren’t seeking approval. They’re seeking a reaction.
An experience words can’t explain
This is a project you cannot fully grasp through description alone. You have to show up, watch it unfold, and decide for yourself. You’ll either find it brilliant or completely unhinged.
