PAGILAS, Philippines – In the underground music scene, rock band Ethigma confirmed that Jeffrey Canlas is no longer their vocalist. It’s been months since the latter got dismissed by his bandmates.
As a matter of fact, their supposed mini concert at Freedom Bar was cancelled because according to our reliable source, the band could no longer tolerate Canlas’ direction in music.
Ethigma had several participations in JOCTV underground gigs and San Miguel Beer Rock Bands’ Festivals. The band was doing just fine with their progressive genre. They sometimes played hardcore rock but never heavy metal. Then the differences began when Jeffrey Canlas became bossy and wanted to change directions.
In 2010, Ethigma briefly appeared on the movie pilot of All About Adam on IBC 13. They wanted to film while singing their rock songs but Canlas insisted on having ‘Release’ in that particular scene.
This upset his bandmates because Ethigma actually wanted to be a heavy metal rock band but with Canlas being somewhat a dictator among them, it became a hindrance.
In December 2010, Jeffrey Canlas confirmed that his band wanted to take a different direction and not his. In spite of everything, Jeffrey attended the concert of his All About Adam co-star and friend, Philipp Dunkel at Freedom Bar in Quezon City.
Rumors also came out that the reason behind Ethigma sacking Canlas was due to drinking problems and failed several times to rehearse with them for gigs and mini concerts.
Pagilas Insider’s Derek Dean tried to reach Jeffrey Canlas’ manager but the latter’s camp keeps mum.
