2.) A band hailing from Turkey, who pioneered the Turkish death metal scene.
3.) A / band from Milevsko, Czech Republic.
4.) A / DJ from The Russian Federation

1.) Suicide is an American duo that was one component of the late 1970s scene on the Lower East Side of New York City, USA. They are also considered to be one of the precusors of the movement that started in the mid-70s and went into the mid-80s.

The band consists of Alan Vega and Martin Rev, who used farfisa organs, synthesizers, and drum machines to create their trademark sound. While widely unconsidered and largely disliked during their beginnings, their 1977 self-titled album is considered to be one of the most influential albums of the punk movement and has influenced countless others, including The Jesus and Mary Chain and R.E.M.

Their first concert was at Talip Cinema in Ankara in 1991, where the band played to an audience of approximately 1300 people. After many changes in the line up, Erkan moved to vocals and Hakan Kuscu joined the band as the lead guitarist in 1994. Esad Erbil joined in 1995 as the bass guitar player.
