Prepare to get your head blown off!

Finally Flamedrop Productions and ENT Entertainment are doing what many have been screaming for. The wait is over.

For years Afrikaans speaking musicians have been paving the way when it comes to Alternative and Extreme music in South Africa, and this 16-ton strong compilation brings together a wide range of bands and genres - from legends, pioneers and SAMA winners, to new blood, innovators and foreign additions, all expressing themselves in the universal language of Music (in general), and one of our 11 official languages, Afrikaans (in particular).

The exciting bands on KOPSKOOT! (translated: “Headshot!”) cover everything from Alternative, Hard Rock, Metal and Hardcore, to Industrial, Grindcore and a variety of Electronic adventures.

This historic CD is set for an early-February 2009 release (distributed by IRIS - catalog number: CDENT 011).

A press launch listening session is being planned, and the first launch show is set for Friday 13 March at The Eye Of Horus in Belville, Cape Town, with K.O.B.U.S., Van Coke Kartel and Terminatryx.

Gauteng launch shows are yet to be finalized.

All updates will appear on the official website and Facebook group.

A DVD companion piece will be released shortly after the CD and include most of the bands (not necessarily the same tracks), and many extras.
