The Native Sri Lankan, Chitral "Chity" Somapala (CIVILIZATION ONE) broke into the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Scene in 1996, and has recorded, toured, and made guest appearances with several bands around the world, including AVALON, FARO, FIREWIND, and RED CIRCUIT, to name a few.His unmistakable style of singing combines the passion of blues and soul, with the heaviness of hard rock and heavy metal. Chity has been compared favorably to Ronnie James Dio (Rainbow/Black Sabbath/Heaven and Hell + Dio) and Klaus Meine (Scorpions), and he has established himself as one of the leading heavy metal vocalists in the business today.
Chity is currently teaching vocals and bass guitar at Modern Music School in Trier, Germany as well as working as a session vocalist for different acts, and concentrating on his own band, CIVILIZATION ONE, who released the critically acclaimed "Revolution Rising" album in 2007.
Below is one of his BEST efforts so far, the 'LION BEER song' as all Sri Lankans know it. Here goes. Nadee Ganga.

ReplyDeleteI don't know who he is, i am just starting to expand my arms into this side of the world in Heavy metal, but i can tell you that he is good and for the little I've heard he can really get somewhere. Hopefully he won't end up making Viagra commercials.
