Anthony added PMC is preparing to hold the eleventh installment of their flagship event DISTORSI MAXIMUM in May 2017.

PMC is a metal music community established in 2006. Its main goal is to fake negative stereotype of  heavy metal music in Palangka Raya by promoting the bright side of it, since the people who don’t understand the music identified it as  something that could cause violence and other bad things. With current registered member almost a hundred, PMC never stops maintaining its existence by organizing 23 events since 2009 e.g. DISTORSI MAXIMUM, METALROCKUSTIK, SUNDAY OF INSANITY, and PALANGKA BERISIK.
