Then,at Liwasang Bayan Ng Cainta "Rock Fest"on December 11,2004 they had their "baptism of fire"(first appearance) with their first 3 original compositions: "Melody Of Sanctimony", "Cold And Dark" and "Hades".A month later which opens the following year, each member face their own problems and decided to quit the band, leaving Rams and Ronell to pursue but with great persistence to search for a new members.
February 2005,they both decided to let Rams teach Russel Jean to play the bass guitar,whose a close friend and a fan of the band since they were just starting.They were also able to compose 3 additional songs:"Faust","Funeral March" and "Phantom's Play".
April 2005 another trial came for Rams and Ronell.Due to strictly family matters mixed with frustration Ronell also have to leave the band.Leaving Rams behind but still with great determination and faith,on that same month Rams formed the second complete lineup.This time it's Gay Chavez and Shekaina Gabitanan on vocals, Rams Aquino and Rainier Francisco on guitars, Russell Jean Gabitanan on bass lastly Mico Lirio on drums.The ball of destiny finally rolled up again for OREMUZ. Their first real performance was a success at BRANNIGAN's (now A-VENUE) located at Timog Ave. then continous gigs were achieved in various areas in Metro Manila and even in provinces. And perhaps because of such great succession of good events another test came. Rainier left the band to join "BLuE BOY BITES BACK".But blessed enough that Stephen De Leon came to replace him.
November 2005, they found their Melodic Synth through Gretchen Encarnacion to emphasize the soul of thier music through keyboards.But then again, being so blessed with trials, the first downfall of OREMUZ broke out.The band decided to pull Mico out,transiently replacing him with a sessionist named Jeff Lectura.May 2006, after a year of struggles, Rams was awaken and found out the "root of all cause" so he decided to pull it out himself. Before the month end, Pearl Munar came and take the place of Gay Chavez.Following months Jeff Lectura can no longer play for the band so Arvien "Abs" Encina also came to join OREMUZ permanently as a drummer. Like Jeff, Gretchen decided to quit because of her studies.Late September 2006, from the band Vermis and Legion of Satyr, Paul "Pong" Katigbak was found playing keyboards. Oremuz invited him to join the band and take hold as the Nightmare Synth. Abigail Sarthou came as a sessionist vocals for Pearl.
October-December 2006, the band recorded their first EP album. Shekaina left the band to pursue her studies but immediatly reinstate by Jamaica Caraig and Treaj Nezza Yumang replaced Pearl.March 2007 the band completed their latest line-up...
Treaj and Jam on vocals, Rams and Stephen on guitars, Russel Jean on Bass, Pong ..boards and Abs on drums.We really can't percieve what will happen to our band, tomorrow or even in the following days.As we can see, and for those who witness, the come and goes and the ups and down,there is only one thing for sure.That OREMUZ will stay and live to tell the story. Because we want to prove and embark into the minds of those who listens to our melody, Oremuz will live till the end of time...For we are against the Hypocrites that dwells in our scene today...For we are against Christianity that is fake and dividing us apart...And we are Against the self-centered intentions which leads people to suffering and blinding faith.MISSION"And thou shall Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

AFRAID OF WHAT I SEE
SOMETHING'S LOOKING AT ME
SO WIERD AND SO LONELY
THIS NIGHT IS RAINING AND I CAN'T GO
BUT I MUST LEAVE TO SAVE MY SOUL
SOMETHING'S PASSING THROUGH THE WALL
I MUST LEAVE OR ELSE I WILL FALLCOLD and DARKHER EYES WAS SCARLET,
SO BLOODY AND RED
ALL MY TIME ARE WASTED
SHE FORGOT WHAT I'VE SAID
FROM THE MOMENT THAT SHE WAKES UP
UNTIL NOW SHE STILL LAUGHS
SHE BIT ME AND I BLEED
WHY I'M THE ONE INDEEDSHE SCRATCHED AND TORE MY FACE
SHE BURIED ME IN THIS PLACE
SHE FELT THAT THERE'S NO GRACE
SHE JUST WANT TO SAVE HER RACEBEFORE I DIE I LOOK AT HER
ASKING "WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?"
I'M DYING AND SHE ANSWERED
SHE'S ALONE AND SHE NEEDS METHEN I WAS SURPRISED I WOKE UP
I THOUGHT I WAS DEAD
BUT I'M SCARED COZ,
SHE'S WITH ME IN COFFIN AND NOT IN BED
SHE STARES AT ME LAUGHING
AND I ASK HER AGAIN
BUT THEN SHE SAID,"TOGETHER WE'RE LIVING COLD AND DARK MY FRIEND"*********************

THE BIBLE and THE ILLUMINATTI 666
"Music is holy, art is sacred, and creativity is power"........IN THIS ARID WILDERNESS OF STEEL AND STONE I RAISE UP MY VOICE THAT YOU MAY HEAR. TO THE EAST AND TO THE WEST I BECKON. TO THE NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH I SHOW A SIGN PROCLAIMING: DEATH TO THE WEAKLING...WEALTH TO THE STRONG! OPEN YOUR EYES THAT YOU MAY SEE... OH MEN OF MILDEWED MINDS... AND LISTEN TO MEYE BEWILDERED MILLIONS! FOR I STAND FORTH TO CHALLENGE THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD... TO INTERROGATE THE "LAWS" OF MAN AND OF "GOD"!I RAISE UP IN STERN INVASION THE STANDARD OF THE STRONG! I GAZE INTO THE GLASSY EYE OF YOUR FEARSOME JEHOVAH... AND PLUCK HIM BY THE BEARD... I UPLIFT A BROAD-AXE... AND SPLIT OPEN HIS WORM-EATEN SKULL! I BLAST OUT THE GHASTLY CONTENTS OF PHILOSOPHICALLY WHITED SEPULCHERS AND LAUGH WITH SARDONIC WRATH! BEHOLD THE CRUCIFIX... WHAT DOES IT SYMBOLIZE? PALLID INCOMPETENCE HANGING ON A TREE. I QUESTION ALL THINGS. AS I STAND BEFORE THE FESTERING AND VARNISHED FASCADES OF YOUR HAUGHTIEST MORAL DOGMAS... I WRITE IN LETTERS OF BLAZING SCORN: LO AND BEHOLD... ALL THIS IS FRAUD! GATHER AROUND ME... OH! YE DEATH-DEFIANT... AND THE EARTH ITSELF SHALL BE THINE... TO HAVE AND TO HOLD! TOO LONG THE DEAD HAND HAS BEEN PERMITTED TO STERILIZE LIVING THOUGHT! TOO LONG RIGHT AND WRONG... GOOD AND EVIL HAVE BEEN INVERTED BY FALSE PROPHETS! NO CREED MUST BE ACCEPTED UPON AUTHORITY OF A "DIVINE" NATURE. RELIGIONS MUST BE PUT TO THE QUESTION. NO MORAL DOGMA MUST BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED... NO STANDARD OF MEASUREMENT DEIFIED. THERE IS NOTHING INHERENTLY SACRED ABOUT MORAL CODES. LIKE THE WOODEN IDOLS OF LONG AGO... THEY ARE THE WORK OF HUMAN HANDS... AND WHAT MAN HAS MADE...MAN CAN DESTROY! HE THAT IS SLOW TO BELIEVE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS OF GREAT UNDERSTANDING... FOR THE BELIEF IN ONE FALSE PRINCIPLE IS THE BEGINNING OF ALL UNWISDOM. THE CHIEF DUTY OF EVERY NEW AGE IS TO UPRAISE NEW MEN TO DETERMINE ITS LIBERTIES. TO LEAD IT TOWARDS MATERIAL SUCCESS... TO REND THE RUSTY PADLOCKS AND CHAINS OF DEAD CUSTOM THAT ALWAYS PREVENT HEALTHY EXPANSION. THEORIES AND IDEAS THAT MAY HAVE MEANT LIFE AND HOPE AND FREEDOM FOR OUR ANCESTORS MAY NOW MEAN DESTRUCTION... SLAVERY...AND DISHONOR TO US! AS ENVIRONMENTS CHANGE... NO HUMAN IDEAL STANDETH SURE! WHENEVER... THEREFORE... A LIE HAS BUILT UNTO ITSELF A THRONE... LET IT BE ASSAILED WITHOUT PITY AND WITHOUT REGRET...FOR UNDER THE DOMINATION OF AN INCONVENIENT FALSEHOOD... NO ONE CAN PROSPER. LET ESTABLISHED SOPHISMS BE DETHRONED...ROOTED OUT...BURNT AND DESTROYED... FOR THEY ARE A STANDING MENACE TO ALL TRUE NOBILITY OF THOUGHT AND ACTION! WHATEVER ALLEGED "TRUTH" IS PROVEN BY RESULTS TO BE BUT AN EMPTY FICTION... LET IT BE UNCEREMONIOUSLY FLUNG INTO THE OUTER DARKNESS...AMONG THE DEAD GODS... DEAD EMPIRES...DEAD PHILOSOPHIES... AND OTHER USELESS LUMBER AND WRECKAGE! THE MOST DANGEROUS OF ALL ENTHRONED LIES IS THE HOLY... THE SANCTIFIED... THE PRIVILEGED LIE -THE LIE EVERYONE BELIEVES TO BE A MODEL TRUTH. IT IS THE FRUITFUL MOTHER OF ALL OTHER POPULAR ERRORS AND DELUSIONS. IT IS A HYDRA-HEADED TREE OF UNREASON WITH A THOUSAND ROOTS. IT IS A SOCIAL CANCER! THE LIE THAT IS KNOWN TO BE A LIE IS HALF ERADICATED... BUT THE LIE THAT EVEN INTELLIGENT PERSONS ACCEPT AS FACT... THE LIE THAT HAS BEEN INCULCATED IN A LITTLE CHILD AT IT'S MOTHER'S KNEE... IS MORE DANGEROUS TO CONTEND AGAINST THAN A CREEPING PESTILENCE! POPULAR LIES HAVE EVER BEEN THE MOST POTENT ENEMIES OF PERSONAL LIBERTY. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO DEAL WITH THEM: CUT THEM OUT...TO THE VERY CORE...JUST AS CANCERS. EXTERMINATE THEM ROOT AND BRANCH. ANNIHILATE THEM... OR THEY WILL US!"LOVE ONE ANOTHER" IT HAS BEEN SAID IS THE SUPREME LAW... BUT WHAT POWER MADE IT SO? UPON WHAT RATIONAL AUTHORITY DOES THE GOSPEL OF LOVE REST? WHY SHOULD I NOT HATE MINE ENEMIES... IF I "LOVE" THEM DOES THAT NOT PLACE ME AT THEIR MERCY? IS IT NATURAL FOR ENEMIES TO DO GOOD UNTO EACH OTHER...AND WHAT IS GOOD? CAN THE TORN AND BLOODY VICTIM "LOVE" THE BLOOD-SPLASHED JAWS THAT REND HIM LIMB FROM LIMB? ARE WE NOT ALL PREDATORY ANIMALS BY INSTINCT? IF HUMANS CEASED WHOLLY FROM PREYING UPON EACH OTHER...COULD THEY CONTINUE TO EXIST? IS NOT "LUST AND CARNAL DESIRE" A MORE TRUTHFUL TERM TO DESCRIBE "LOVE" WHEN APPLIED TO THE CONTINUANCE OF THE RACE? IS NOT THE "LOVE" OF THE FAWNING SCRIPTURES SIMPLY A EUPHEMISM FOR SEXUAL ACTIVITY...OR WAS THE "GREAT TEACHER" A GLORIFIER OF EUNUCHS? LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE AND USE YOU...IS THIS NOT THE DESPICABLE PHILOSOPHY OF THE SPANIEL THAT ROLLS UPON ITS BACK WHEN KICKED? HATE YOUR ENEMIES WITH A WHOLE HEART...AND IF A MAN SMITE YOU ON ONE CHEEK... SMASH HIM ON THE OTHER! SMITE HIM HIP AND THIGH...FOR SELF-PRESERVATION IS THE HIGHEST LAW! HE WHO TURNS THE OTHER CHEEK IS A COWARDLY DOG! GIVE BLOW FOR BLOW... SCORN FOR SCORN... DOOM FOR DOOM... WITH COMPOUND INTEREST LIBERALLY ADDED THEREUNTO! EYE FOR EYE...TOOTH FOR TOOTH... AYE FOUR-FOLD... A HUNDRED FOLD! MAKE YOURSELF A TERROR TO YOUR ADVERSARY... AND WHEN HE GOETH HIS WAY... HE WILL POSSESS MUCH ADDITIONAL WISDOM TO RUMINATE OVER. THUS SHALL YOU MAKE YOURSELF RESPECTED IN ALL THE WALKS OF LIFE... AND YOUR SPIRIT... YOUR IMMORTAL SPIRIT... SHALL LIVE... NOT IN AN INTANGIBLE PARADISE... BUT IN THE BRAINS AND SINEWS OF THOSE WHOSE RESPECT YOU HAVE GAINED. LIFE IS THE GREAT INDULGENCE...DEATH...THE GREAT ABSTINENCE. THEREFORE... MAKE THE MOST OF LIFE... HERE AND NOW! THERE IS NO HEAVEN OF GLORY BRIGHT... HERE AND NOW IS OUR OPPORTUNITY! CHOOSE YE THIS DAY... THIS HOUR...FOR NO REDEEMER LIVITH! SAY UNTO THINE OWN HEART..."I AM MINE OWN REDEEMER." STOP THE WAY OF THEM THAT WOULD PERSECUTE YOU. LET THOSE WHO DEVISE THINE UNDOING BE HURLED BACK TO CONFUSION AND INFAMY. LET THEM BE AS CHAFF BEFORE THE CYCLONE AND AFTER THEY HAVE FALLEN REJOICE IN THINE OWN SALVATION. THEN ALL THY BONES SHALL SAY PRIDEFULLY..."WHO IS LIKE UNTO ME? HAVE I NOT BEEN TOO STRONG FOR MINE ADVERSARIES? HAVE I NOT DELIVERED MYSELF BY MINE OWN BRAIN AND BODY?" BLESSED ARE THE STRONG... FOR THEY SHALL POSSESS THE EARTH...CURSED ARE THE WEAK... FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE YOKE! BLESSED ARE THE POWERFUL... FOR THEY SHALL BE REVERENCED AMONG MEN... CURSED ARE THE FEEBLE...FOR THEY SHALL BE BLOTTED OUT! BLESSED ARE THE BOLD...FOR THEY SHALL BE MASTERS OF THE WORLD... CURSED ARE THE RIGHTEOUSLY HUMBLE... FOR THEY SHALL BE TRODDEN UNDER CLOVEN HOOFS! BLESSED ARE THE VICTORIOUS...FOR VICTORY IS THE BASIS OF RIGHT.. .CURSED ARE THE VANQUISHED...FOR THEY SHALL BE VASSELS FOREVER! BLESSED ARE THE IRON-HANDED...FOR THE UNFIT SHALL FLEE BEFORE THEM... CURSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT...FOR THEY SHALL BE SPAT UPON! BLESSED ARE THE DEATH-DEFIANT...FOR THEIR DAYS SHALL BE LONG IN THE LAND... CURSED ARE THE GAZERS TOWARD A RICHER LIFE BEYOND THE GRAVE... FOR THEY SHALL PERISH AMIDST PLENTY! BLESSED ARE THE DESTROYERS OF FALSE HOPE...FOR THEY ARE THE TRUE MESSIAHS... CURSED ARE THE GOD-ADORERS...FOR THEY SHALL BE SHORN SHEEP! BLESSED ARE THE VALIANT...FOR THEY SHALL OBTAIN GREAT TRESURE... CURSED ARE THE BELIEVERS IN GOOD AND EVIL...FOR THEY ARE FRIGHTENED BY SHADOWS! BLESSED ARE THOSE THAT BELIEVE IN WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM... FOR NEVER SHALL THEIR MINDS BE TERRORIZED... CURSED ARE THE "LAMBS OF GOD"...FOR THEY SHALL BE BLED WHITER THAN SNOW! BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO HAS A SPRINKLING OF ENEMIES...FOR THEY SHALL MAKE HIM A HERO... CURSED IS HE WHO DOETH GOOD UNTO OTHERS WHO SNEER UPON HIM IN RETURN... FOR HE SHALL BE DESPISED! BLESSED ARE THE MIGHTY-MINDED...FOR THEY SHALL RIDE THE WHIRLWINDS... CURSED ARE THEY WHO TEACH LIES FOR TRUTH AND TRUTH FOR LIES...FOR THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION! THRICE CURSED ARE THE WEAK WHOSE INSECURITY MAKES THEM VILE... FOR THEY SHALL SERVE AND SUFFER!THE ANGEL OF SELF-DECEIT IS CAMPED IN THE SOULS OF THE "RIGHTEOUS"...
