Calvin Chiang

Calvin Chiang is a local guitarist with the band Raspatul & Obliterhate. He is my favorite local guitarist, he’s guitar riffs are wicked and very unique.

I’m not very sure about the status of Raspatul, as unfortunately the vocalist Ayim, passed away in 2005.

Obliterhate consists of:

Calvin Chiang - Guitars

Dan Swanö (Nightingale, ex-Edge Of Sanity, ex-Bloodbath) - Vocals

Erik Sayenga (Warthrone, ex-Dying Fetus) - Drums

Terry Butler (Six Feet Under, ex-Death, ex-Massacre) - Bass

Mirai Kawashima (Sigh, Necrophagia) - Keyboards

Jeff Becerra (Possessed) - Lyrics

Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Demiurg) - Lyrics and vocal arrangements

[James Murphy (Disincarnate, ex-Death, ex-Testament) also contributed a guest guitar solo for the song “Dawn Of Extermination”]

Calvin Chiang is endorsed by Monson Guitars, a guitar company from USA.

I don’t know much about this guitar company but their designs look more wicked & pointy than BC Rich guitars!
