Then what do you know about local metal bands ?
Almost next to nothing,
inform me about it? Or better write a article about 'Lankan Metal scene' and post it here! 
Almost next to nothing,
Rock Music in Sri Lanka dates back to the early 1970s when Kumar Navaratnam and friends staged the first Rock Festival at the Havelock Park in Colombo Sri Lanka. Kumara Navaratnam could be hailed as the Main strength behind the evolving rock music scene then along with others like Prins Jayaratnam and the Unwanted Generation, Prasanna Abeysekara's Coffin Nail, Neville of Acid, Gobbledegook and Sweetie Pie which was lead by pianist Nimal Goonawardane, Richard Simon, Mary etc. Mary was the only Rock band to play all original music at that time and was lead by Ravi Balasooriya of "Bugs" fame. Other members being Aruna Siriwardane, Benjy Ranabahu, Diliup Gabadamudalige and Dwight Van Gramberg. Ramesh Weeratunga who was a composer/solo performer of this period went on to become a professional musician/song writer in Germany releasing several solo albums.
Sri Lanka now has a significant underground metal and hard rock community which is growing in popularity among upper middle class teenagers and young adults. Some internationally known Sri Lankan metal bands include Stigmata, Chitral Somapala, Whirlwind, Old Castles Massacre, Funeral In Heaven, Paranoid Earthling. The main rock radio station is Sri Lanka is 'TNL Rocks' which is a very popular radio station among the youth of Colombo, Kandy and some other suburbs of the island. Many other bands too have emerged ever since the 1990s making the Heavy Metal underground much bigger. While Colombo being a breeding ground for many hard rock bands like Stigmata,Kandy gave birth to the pioneer Grunge outfit Paranoid Earthling which was the first rock band to emerge from the Hill Capital. Kandy is also the stronghold for Black Metal bands like "Pariah Demise" "Lieu De Fault" and some Doom Metal bands as well.
in 2005 Dinesh Subasinghe and Dee R Cee members were recognized as an alternative rock band. Dinesh introduced rock music into Sri Lankan TV series music.Later He composed music for “Hithata Wahal wimi' and 'Sarangana' tele dramas for Sirasa TV and the guitar was played by an Indian legendary guitarist John Anthony.

one cant fill the gap between being a semi pro n being pro by just posing. we cant really blame them. this is sri lanka and they dont have huge market. to be the real deal one has to live in then n there 24/7. otherwise it just another way of fooling yourself. anyway i wish them good luck
