García is considered one of the pioneers of the local heavy metal scene, being the lead singer of the metalcore band for more than two decades. He was known for wowing audiences with his stage presence and vocal skills.
Slapshock was formed in the late 1990s when its members were “heavily influenced by American rap and the nu-metal movement at the time,” according to a men’s magazine.
His debut album, “4th Degree Burns”, contained songs that became hits like “Evil Clown” and “Agent Orange”. It achieved platinum status selling more than 15,000 units.
The band was noted for “skillfully combining rock, rap, metal and funk,” noted the men’s magazine.
Slapshock was also the first Filipino and Asian artist to participate in the Dubai Desert Rock Festival in 2008, where they shared the stage with international heavy rock talents such as Velvet Revolver, As I Lay Dying, Machine Head and Muse.
Last October, bassist Lee Nadela said the band had disbanded after “friction” between its members that had been “brewing for years.” He added that it was exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.
