The year 2001 saw the humble emergence of a Witbank based, nu-metal band, named Underbelly. The band’s evolution into the 5-piece set, that has garnered a credible fan base today, peaked in 2005 after a four-year struggle to secure like-minded musicians. The band’s perseverance paid off. Underbelly forged ahead, steadily carving a niche for themselves within the South African rock/metal scene, in which they have undeniably been embraced with what can only be described as ‘moshpit’ enthusiasm.
