Next up was 4 piece Death /Thrash band Raspatul. I seriously think these guys got the gig going in terms of momentum With the vocalist, guitarist and bassist bare feet on stage, they had a speed headbanging death thrash neck cramp inducing set. I was very impressed. They were like the only band where all the band members were really into their set and it cut through to the audience, you had a charismatic 'Steve Harris' like bassist who played to the crowd, you had a guitarist who was headbanging away while playing looking like a mean pyschotic china man, a vocalist who has a great voice and is a good frontman, and a mean ass drummer who has some of the best fills i have heard. Thankfully the sound problems were more or less fixed and their set was pretty clear comparatively but you could hear the heaviness in their sound. I only couldn't hear the guitar solos very well. But seriously their EP doesn't do them the justice that they deserve, you really got to see them live.

Kumpulan yang mendukang watak keempat dalam siri 'Pentas Gempita' kali ini adalah sebuah kumpulan yang didatangkan dari Pulau Temasik atau lebih tepat Singapura. RASPATUL adalah sebuah kumpulan yang berorentasikan muzik brutal death metal telah memperdagangkan lagu Breaking sebagi modal untuk memancing crowd, nyata gagal ini mungkin kerana crowd yang hadir letih setelah 2 band diberi tumpuan. Mereka tidak mengalah, lantas membawakan lagu Arise dendangan SEPULTURA, percubaan mereka berjaya apabila crowd kembali memenuhi ruang hadapan pentas, suara vokalisnya yang 'raw' sedikit sebanyak mempengaruhi persembahan mereka. Raspatul juga telah memperdengarkan hampir 6 buah lagu pada petang itu antara lagu yang diper-dengarkan adalah God Of Perverse, Black Messiah, Menghitung Ajal serta sebuah lagu saduran.
