Bagi saya pribadi, ini adalah suatu
kebanggaan bisa mewawancarai salah satu band dari luar Indonesia. Mungkin bisa
dibilang “kolot” banget bangga mewawancarai band luar negeri. Tapi itulah saya,
sebuah pengalaman baru dan mendapatkan teman baru dari aktifitas ini :) dialah
teman baru saya Andrew Ferris, yang dulunya merupakan personil dari band
Symphony Blackened Metal asal Guam yaitu Hymn For The Torture. Memang bukan
band ternama seperti Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir ataupun sekeren Chthonic.
Tapi sangat senang dapat memperkenalkan music UG Indonesia kepada temanku ini
:) sekarang Andrew Ferris aktif di band barunya Analdicktion (Goregrind) band
asal Singapura. Semoga sukses kawan :)
Hello
Hymn For The Tortured, I'm Matt Hammitius from Padang, Indonesia. How's the
band now?
Hello! I think we are all good. I don't keep
in contact with everyone as much anymore.
Did
you ever know about Indonesia before??
Yes, of course! I am half-Singaporean, so I
knew.
Is
there any you know about metal music in Indonesia before?? and do you know
Metal bands in Indonesia?
I know a lot, maybe too many. My favorite
Indonesian bands are Proletar, Noxa, Jasad,
Babi Liar, Revenge, Bleeding Corpse, Xenobiotic, Tenggorokan, Peace Or Annihilation.
Please
introduce your band to the metalheads in Indonesia :)
We played from 2006-2008, and self-released
two eps. Our music was mostly a mix of Symphonic Blackened Death, Melodic
Death, Black Metal, non-trendy Metalcore with a few breakdowns here and there.
Frankly,
I do not know anything about your band, I only ever saw your band in the
Encyclopedia Metallum and download your songs
Because we never left Guam and toured. We all
played this music when we were still in secondary school and this band only
existed for 2 years.
If
your band is still active?
No, we disbanded in 2008.
Metal
is pretty exciting for the people in your country? what is the music that
dominated there?
Reggae/Island and top-40 is the dominating
music, there is no real interest in Metal besides a few people, maybe 20-40 or
so people now haha!
If
your band is still active, is interested in entertaining metalheads in
Indonesia?
No, I don't think so. The band has been dead
for a long time and I don't think most of the members would really care to save
money and go tour Indonesia or even record a new album. We all live in
different countries now too, so it would be impossible to get everyone together
to tour. My main band is now Analdicktion (Brutal Death/Goregrind from Singapore)
and we toured in Surabaya, Malang was the best place I've ever played in any
band. Maybe we will be in Jakarta, Bandung next year.
Give
a little Response for the webzine :)
Excellent site with many bands I have not
heard before.
Tremendous
appreciation for me to interview you, thank you very much. hopefully this can
be memorable for you :) greetings from Indonesia :)
Thank you, hopefully I will see you in
Indonesia in the future :)
