Daemon - (1992) Hellstorm [24 bit .flac]


This band had more death metal edge than black. Hailing from Kuala Belait, they originally formed under the name Daredevil but according to some rumors, Daemon was appropriated sometime in 1988 as they started venturing into extreme end of musicianship. Hellstorm was among the most obscure demo tape which could have marked the real arrival of extreme metal in Brunei. Along with Grotesque and Evilorator, Daemon was quickly recognised as a handful of musicians who had created a landmark on their quiet little home.

The sound quality on this demo was godawful; perhaps as a result of decades long build up from audio artifacts which have degraded its overall quality. This sophomore effort (with the first being an eponymous demo released in 1990) offered six tracks of purely unmerciful assault. When one tries to draw a comparison according to contemporary definition of 'speed', this demo sure does lack one. However, it is this doomy approach that has somewhat set Hellstorm as arguably unique in its own right. Had the band lived long enough to become a successful entity, people would surely stick their neck up to this tape, curious over how Daemon did sound like during the early days. Alas, they have now been disbanded. What we have here is a legacy, left behind by our brothers who by now may have lost track on metal. This, children, is the real deal. If you just happened to know metal yesterday, I bet you are ignorant to the fact that your deathcore bands suck! What is the relevance? Well, new kids like new, glossy stuffs. Go figure

Track list:

1. Resurrection (Intro) 1:45
2. Fester the Souls 2:01
3. Mortal Human Butchery 3:12

Tombcrusher - (1993) Blackened Mass of the Third Holocaust of Evil [24 bit .flac]


Are you searching for some obscure blackened death outfit from the depths of Brunei Darussalam? This band evolved from Darklord and was formed in 1990. Perhaps Tombcrusher was one of the earliest extreme metal bands that quickly gained cult following among underground tape collectors at the time where snail mail reigned supreme. They had once stood strong alongside occult scenester Funerality, in which case both were originated from the small and peaceful Tutong district. Nowadays, Tombcrusher have become a silent monument, a testament to once burgeoning black / death metal battlefield of Brunei Darussalam. This is their third and last demo before they disbanded. The date of their dissolution as of date is still obscure but one thing remains clear, they will never be forgotten, not by old school devotees who know what it takes to become a metal fan at heart. Available as 24 bit .flac!

Track list:

1. Altar of Hell 2:08
2. Creation of Blasphemies 4:20
3. Unholy Hell of Seventh Dawn 3:07

Dissection - (1995) Storm of the Light's Bane [Rough Mix]


Dissection rough mixes of Storm of the Light's Bane. This version has different track listing than one found in the album. An extra track is also added called 'Feathers Fell'. I somehow prefer this rough mix tape over the actual sophomore release since each track has a darker feel to it. Songs like 'Night's Blood', 'Unhallowed' and 'Where Dead Angels Lie' are brutally sinister as compared to their later incarnations. This is raw and primitive, the sort of abomination that will consume the mechanics of cosmic scaffolding in untimely demise. Available as 320 kbps .mp3.

Track list:

1. At the Fathomless Depths 2:00
2. Soulreaper 6:55
3. Night's Blood 6:42

Nunslaughter - (2007) Hex [.flac]


Nunslaughter is one of those legendary death metal bands from the States. With songs' length reminiscent of grindcore as well as vehement anti Christian stance, this occult worshipping powerhouse has released a vast array of discographies, EPs, splits and compilations. Hex is one of these many entries that the band has to offer. I have purchased this album from a friend of mine for BND$30. It is still in excellent condition with multi - fold - 24 - page booklet. The lyric sheets are so thick that the jewel case has significant weight to it. Enjoy this magnificent release in .flac format.

Sadomator - (2007) Goats Brew Alcolust


For fans of Archgoat, Teitanblood, early Beherit and Morbosidad, Danish most unrelentingly blasphemous triumvirate Sadomator may very well be the hidden gem within the underground scene. Their outright Satanic assault coupled with obscene sexual suggestion made this sophomore worthy of praise. Although the style of music is strikingly similar to Finnish spearheads Archgoat and Canadian warmonger Blasphemy, Sadomator retain their trademark charge, utilising sporadic obscure sound clips that makes Mortician looked like a bunch of electronically - whipped and violated sadists who will torture their victims into submission. Only this time it's immolated in the name of Satan. The album progresses in such a way that one can feel the essence of complete heresy in its primal form. Various audio clips interspersed between each song serve as additional paintings for the holistic view. This, in my opinion, is one of those albums that you do not want to pass up!

Track list:

1. Goat Supremacy (Outro) 0:42
2. Chainsaw Goatfuck 1:15
3. Alcohol Flowing Cunt 1:41

XPDC - (1990) Darjah Satu [.wav]


Not much to say eh? I have returned to finish the uploading process at Mediafire.com. Ripping this CD proves to be one painstaking business like most other rip I did in the past. However, when it comes to talk about Darjah Satu (literally translates to Primary One in English), this album is one forgotten gem from the early 90s. At least to me that seems to be the case. Anyone familiar with Wings and Search will readily acknowledge XPDC as one of those bands in the forefront of Malay heavy metal / hard rock. Alas, the band's entry has been removed from Encyclopedia Metallum for whatever reasons I can't even begin to make sense of. Anyways, enjoy this fine release. Bear with it though, this is a - 10 - part download so it may take you awhile to gather all of them.

1. Raja Kertas 3:15
2. Aku dan Sesuatu 5:12

Creed - (2000) With Arms Wide Open [Single]

 Maxi Single Cover

Single Compact Disc

No. This is of course nothing close to metal but a distant cousin between the two. A friend of my brother left this CD lying around our house about ten years ago. Yes. I can't even begin to recall who actually owns this Maxi. It's not something that worth collecting but somehow my gut instinct tells me that this piece of classic may as well worth sharing for average rockers out there. Creed's career is rather short - lived but not before achieving international sales close to 35 million; something even the remotest of musicians would dream of. Being a casual fan of this band, their earlier releases come out quite decent and solid with tracks that are memorably meaningful. Their sophomore effort proves to be groundbreaking for post - grunge genre; Human Clay has gone to spawn a total of four singles, all of which have earned the highest place in worldwide charts (I'm speaking from global point of view as opposed to 'kvlt' spectrum). My personal favorite, among others is Higher. A relatively quasi ballad with grunge - driven tendency that has one singing to its harmonious melodies. On this Maxi edition, I have found out that the track order significantly differs from what has been listed in the database. Nevertheless, the original version of With Arms Wide Open is simply the best, The other two versions, well, at least they got decent ideas to toy with. However, the last track is replaced with Wash Away Those Years and One is somehow omitted from this release. The original track list is as follow:

Original track listing:

1. With Arms Wide Open (New Version)
2. Wash Away Those Years
3. One
4. With Arms Wide Open (Strings Version)
5. With Arms Wide Open (Multimedia Video Track)

Now what I have here is slightly different. Could this release have been specified for Asian edition? I don't know. All in all, the CD is still in good condition with minor scratches, Maxi case still intact and of course playable. Or else how do you think I managed to rip this CD huh? Enjoy peeps!

Maxi Single Track List:

1. With Arms Wide Open [New Version] 3:45
2. With Arms Wide Open [Album Version] 4:27
3. With Arms Wide Open [Strings Version] 3:57
4. Wash Away the Years 6:04

Ormentzera - (2010) Betray [Single]

Dark Verministry are now a history. Its later form of rebirth 'Aglaophotis' is yet to produce any material to prove the moniker's worthy of existence. With members splintering between themselves, the future of Aglaophotis remains uncertain. Ail, former lead axeman of Dark Verministry is now reported to have 'retired' from everything metal. Clearly, his post - Verministry era has brought significant changes to how he sees things and how these things would later be an integral part to his life. Although some have argued over the impossibility of calling it quits from metal, Ail will say otherwise. Arif will also agree to this, with acquaintances citing him as slowly moving away from what once was his first and foremost forte in life. He begins to sell off his metal cassettes and paraphernalia to associates. Buie on the other hand is still struggling along the line of being the most hated person in Borneo. Believe it or not, this sad fact emerges not only from within this part of the country but people seem to have vehement enmity against him which has reached as far as Miri. His best comrade Han tends to stay away from getting caught up in the maelstrom of animosity perpetrated by hatred of men. Still, Han himself was once guilty of deserting his childhood colleague Ail when he chose metal over their friendship. This highly brisant situation has led people to hold grudge against the duo. Priority target is still focused on Buie while Han acts as ambassador who will try to the best of his ability to rectify any sticky situation between his trouble - ridden friend and people he comes in contact with.

Earlier on this blog, there is a mention of Ormentzera. This project features the former bassist of Dark Verministry by the name Arif, who by now is busy pursuing his university degree in science. During one fateful meeting, Arif has approached Han to send a new single that they have recently recorded called 'Betray'. The details of the recording are still obscure with much of the information has been withheld by Arif. According to Han, Arif takes over the vocal slot while playing bass. It is said that he ate some chocolate to achieve the desired vocal style. Going down to song analysis, Han personally feels that the song is given to him with some clandestine purpose. He believes by giving the song to Han, Arif may as well have partially exacted revenge unto Aglaophotis who as of date are still struggling to put out a solid record. Arif may also act on Ail's behalf, who Han believes the song serves as a huge slap in the face for what they did in the past to them (Arif and Ail). However, Han later dismisses this as nothing more than unconfirmed suspicion since he personally believes that whatever it was that happened between the four of them is now over and done with.

The song itself is a decent piece of melodic black metal with flowing solos and Senjakala - esque riffing. The guitars sound too asphyxiated to even be highlighted here. However, Ormentzera compensated this particular drawback with clear projection of drums and lead solos. At one time it can get quite annoying to hear the hi - hat; it's way too much for what this song actually is as if one is listening to a techno slab at auto show. Arif vocals are worthy of praise though. It's amazing that he can pull off a decent performance on this single. Surely he has quite a potential to become the next Draconaeon. As a side note, the latter is due to release their debut full length In Silence Mournful on a date yet to be announced. Again, the lyric to this song is something for Aglaophotis to think about, sit back and contemplate. The title itself says it all. What is this? Some kind of insinuation? It better be.

Overall a decent track with some enjoyable moments. This acts as a wake up call for Aglaophotis who is far left behind on every aspect. However, the brainchild behind said entity Han will never say die. In times to come, they too will release quite a handful of materials. Han has already envisioned the kind of music that Aglaophotis are set to deliver. With Ormentzera promulgating themselves as being successful in the forefront, there is nothing that their arch nemesis cannot do in the future.

Impiety - (2011) Advent of... [EP]


This is pure evil in its most sophisticated form. Here we have a couple of elements brought together in a form of mini CD with full title 'Advent of the Nuclear Baphomet'. Each song follows the style previously heard on Worshippers of the Seventh Tyranny so I'd say this EP is more like a B-side of the latter. Perhaps these songs could have made it onto said album but since Impiety decided to play progressive at length never before witnessed in their career, they might as well pressed another CD. Luckily, this little gem was made available through a distro at Eastern Voice Production for a price of RM50. Not bad though. At least I'm supporting the band and bought their release with my hard earn bucks!

Track list:

1. Advent of the Nuclear Baphomet 6:39
2. Ave Satanas 6:22
3. Blood Ritual Defamation 8:11

Trelldom - (1994) Disappearing of the Burning Moon [Demo]


This is one of the most unknown and underrated black metal demos from Norway. Featuring a now - vilified figure in the history of Norwegian black metal by the name Gaahl, the band found themselves in a form of Trelldom. Nobody even pays so much attention to this great band since a lot of people know Gaahl from his stint later in Gorgoroth. The whole review can be read here.

Track list:
1. Sannhet Smerte og Død 5:42

3. Dim Soul of Never 2:45
4. Disappearing of the Burning Moon 3:50

Impiety - (1996) Asateerul Awaleen


The first full length debut from Singapore's most prolific anti - religious - goat - barbaric entity mighty Impiety. After releasing at least three demos (one which existence remained hazy to this day) and one EP, Shyaithan and his fellow barbarians moved forward to record their debut Asateerul Awaleen. The Arabic title has left many to speculate that it actually refers to pre - Islamic tales, a reference to jahiliyah era (the age of sheer ignorance according to the history of Arab) which can also be found from a passage in Holy Quran. However, let not the title fool you; this album does not praise religion but a complete decimation of the latter and total praise to horned Master of Eternal Fire. Being brave enough to adopt the most vilified pseudonym in the history of Southeast Asian black metal, Shyaithan (born Muhammad Khairul Ariffeen Deen) together with his team of sworn blasphemers managed to put out one of the best underground records to ever come out from this region. The riffs are completely amazing and ritualistic, evident of rich traditional touch that greatly differs from their contemporaries such as As Sahar and most Norwegian imitators. The studio trick may have done a good job at rendering Shyaithan's vocal totally demonic and possessed. He sounds a lot like the devil himself. The production is quite tinny and as such has made the guitar sounds akin to a bee buzzing around your head. Only this time it is far more crystal clear and vibrant. Luckily, the album allows sufficient room for Leprophiliac Rex to contribute his resonating bass lines and they actually stand out from start to finish. Another amazing aspect of this atheistically Satanic masterpiece is the drums played by Iblyss. He knows how to fill in the gaps with awesome cymbals work, accurate mid paced blast beats and even simplistic yet effective double bass attack as exemplified in Anal - Madonna and Divine Hutamahan Frostfuck (way for a title). Especially on the latter, he alternates between ride, crash and bell with unthinkable perfection. This adds even more wider spectrum of marksmanship for Impiety as a whole. Furthermore, the third track is known for its creative use of acoustic guitar strumming which is highly surprising yet enjoyable because it does fit with the song. A re-recorded version of Magick - Consecration Goatsodomy also made its appearance on this album among others. The only difference here is Shyaithan vocal in which he no longer employs throaty growls reminiscent of Beherit, Archgoat and Blasphemy. Instead, he eschew the aforementioned style and replaced it with a pair of lungs borrowed from Lucifer himself. No kidding.

Track list:

1. Intromancy: Dzuul Ar'Shil Jaheem 1:59
2. Anal - Madonna 6:36
3. Divine Hutamahan Frostfuck 6:48
4. Hymnvocation of Nazarethian Nunwhores 7:19
5. Magick - Consecration Goatsodomy 5:23
6. Ceremonial Necrochrist Redesecration 3:27
7. Bismishyaithan 6:13
8. Blasphemyth... The Seventh Goatspawn 1:36

Impiety - (2011) Worshippers of the Seventh Tyranny

 The majestic artwork featuring goatvomit

The digipack version of Worshippers of the Seventh Tyranny bearing Shyaithan's autograph.

Contains a 28 - page booklet with over 38 minutes of pure thunderous atrocity ever recorded by Impiety.

I really hate to be the person who couldn't get albums from my favorite bands. Impiety and this album being the one. Many a friend rushed to get their hands on this precious digipack with me stood watching in despair. At the time of its release, I was running low on funds since I already cashed in for their previous two albums. However, I still am hoping that this album will be reissued soon. Although it doesn't break new ground but according to Impiety themselves, this is something completely different from what they have done in the past and as such, listening to this album in one sit requires immense patience and determination. If you are the kind of person who dislikes elephant ass - epic track length then Worshippers of the Seventh Tyranny will immediately become your worst nightmare! On this digipack (sniff... sniff... why did you leave me?), the 38 minute 32 second majestic anti humankind assault is divided into VII parts altogether. Obviously this is to compensate for slow, near - doom pace that the band have to perform in order to save their stamina. Well, logically Impiety aren't up to play 38 minutes of constant blast beats and ungodly riff charge as can be heard on Terroreign (Apocalyptic Armageddon Command). If they do, then Impiety must be one of the craziest, most insane blackened deathrash metal band on this planet! There are a lot of elements being introduced into their song writing, with Shyaithan now paying new assassins to execute putrid holocaust of mankind, the solos are more distinctively melodic with more palette of colors on drums. Other than its out - of - proportion duration, Shyaithan also experimented with different vocal styles rather than constantly vomiting forth blaspheme that most fans are familiar with. The vocal as a whole is clear and intelligible enough that one doesn't really need to look up what he is actually singing. Elements of contemporary thrash riffing addled with black metal aesthetics quickly gained prominence on this epic offering. Fans might as well get hooked in their flesh with this album. The only thing that seems to be problematic for a lot of people is its ridiculous length. Again, patience is all you need to fully appreciate this uncompromisingly arrogant piece of art.

Impiety - (2002) Kaos Kommand 696 [Digipack Edition]


How many times have Impiety come out with strong releases over the years? The answer is each time they put out a record, it's going to be brutal and uncompromising as Goatfather Shyaithan refused to write songs that are melodic which can be a wankery at once. Boasting one of the most profound records ever released through Osmose Productions, Kaos Kommand 696 proved to be another landmark in the band's career two years into the millennium. With ultra blistering speed and Shyaithan's vocals greatly improving, this album is a must have for longtime fans. Newcomers be warned; you will not find anything close to now wimp out Cradle of Filth and its closest cousin from Norway Dimmu Borgir. No. Go look somewhere else if you're searching for the latter both. The style picks up where Skullfucking Armageddon left off with further refined song structure, solid riffing and more varied drumming. Seconds after you allow this record spinning in your stereo, you will be greeted with a picture of mass congregation praying in a church being mercilessly massacred by armies of Satanic militia using Fabrique Nationale M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. Bodies of Christian believers lying strewn and bloodied, riddled with bullet holes are just the kind of images that immediately come to mind when listening to Christfuckingchrist. The band would later remain adhere to this style; unrelenting mixtures of black, death and thrash metal all at once. Session members come and go but only the Goatfather Shyaithan himself stays throughout the entire course of mighty Impiety abominable career. He went on to become one of the most successful in the forefront of blackened deathrash metal arena. This version comes with two bonus tracks.

Track list:

1. Christfuckingchrist 4:55
2. Apokalyptik Nuklear Battlebeasts 3:19
3. Wardaemonic Overkill 4:50
4. Atomic Wrath of Azzazzel 5:36
5. Bestial Genocidal Goatvomit 4:45
6. Bloodred Angelshred 5:25
7. Abominate, Fornicate, Desecrate! 4:33
8. Kaos Kommand 696 6:17
9. Black Church (Sextrash cover) 1:55
10. Goddess of Perversity (Blasphemy cover) 2:55

Total time: 44:30


Impiety - (1999) Skullfucking Armageddon [Drakkar Reissue]


Impiety have a long history behind them. With the release of Skullfucking Armageddon, the band changed their style and aesthetic reminiscent of early Sarcófago as well as Canadian black war Blasphemy. These two bands have influenced Impiety on a larger scale and as such its presence can be felt on this album as well as their previous releases. It is thrash as it is black with a touch of death. Therefore, there is certainly multiple elements being mixed into this release. Somehow they are able to merge into one formidable force of warring blasphemy and occultic summoning of diabolical arts. These elements would later see another execution on Kaos Kommand 696. Among the stand out tracks are Ironflames of Hate, Diabolical Witching Aggression and of course the ever headbangable Torment in Fire. The latter brings Sacrifice to come into picture.

Track list:

1. Lords of Apokalypse 6:56
2. Nocturnized 4:52
3. Sodomythical Frostgoats 4:14

Get Busy

No, it's not Sean Paul! In fact, it refers to my busy schedule as university undergrad and blogger. Life.

Probably you won't see any new upload in a couple of days but I will try my best to add some old school favorite of mine. In the mean time, there is definitely one film nobody has ever seen before. It is scary as hell. The title is 'Dendam Perawan Bunting. This '90s film is directed by allahyarham Hussein Abu Hassan and details a story about this typical pretty girl in a village who was raped and subsequently she got pregnant, returned from beyond the grave to avenge her shameful demise in a much fearful form known in Malay as pontianak. Now this is where it comes on quite hazy; something happened to that poor girl in the film and I can't actually recall what it was. Somehow I am convinced that she was either murdered or committed suicide which eventually led to her returning from the dead to kill the men who raped and got her pregnant. As always, when there is a villain there is also a hero. Then again, I am not sure who is the hero but he certainly is a guy who left the village when the incident took place (when the lady was violated). Upon returning to his seemingly quiet and peaceful little remote village, he came face to face with a terrifying apparition capable of inflicting serious physical injuries to unsuspecting passers by. One particular scene that I vividly remember and still terrifies me to this day is when the girl's apparition (pontianak) was wandering outside a hut deep in the woods. Her nasty laughter and cackling just echoed through the forest. Interestingly enough, the film was shot and produced in the early '90s at times when CGI was still quite scarce in Malay films. It was and still is convincingly scary. I just don't quite remember how the film ended but it somehow had to do with the girl's spirit being returned to her proper resting place and her terror spree was put to an end once and for all.

There was also another film featuring Hussein Abu Hassan himself along with Malaysia's most well known comedian Mr. Os. Only this time he played a role of vengeful undead with an edge on martial arts. Yes. This one particular ghost was male and he put up quite a vicious fight with anyone who got in his way. Again, I can't quite remember what the plot was but it certainly has something to do with him learning black magic, got into trouble and then was later killed. As a result of his adherence to black arts prior to his death, his decaying body was possessed with evil spirit in which he broke out of his grave to seek revenge upon those who had killed him. He now terrorised the small village in which he died and was able to shapeshift into a python. Dressed in torn and tattered gray baju Melayu, this vengeful zombie sought to destroy anyone strong enough to face him. One of the scenes that immediately comes to mind is one showing him eating a bowl of worms at the behest of his master Satan. The only thing I find unsettling about this particular film is how I have completely forgotten its name. There is no information available on the internet and little do people mention about it at all. In this case, it makes it even more difficult to acquire a decent copy of both films (this and Dendam Perawan Bunting). Being an ardent fan of kvlt classic horror films, I have spent some time browsing through search engines, forums and torrents in search of these two most elusive movies ever from my childhood years. I could hardly find contemporary Malay horror films to be scary enough to make me on the edge of my sit. No. The special effects albeit technologically advanced is so blatantly overproduced and as a result, you get another cheap Hollywood or Oriental horror rip offs. The scare doesn't stay that long unlike in movies from the early 90s and late 80s where everything was realistically produced with little to no CGI intervention at all.


So if anyone knows about these two films or is in possession of said items, please feel free to leave comment on this blog. Let me know if I can contact you since I need to get decent copies of said masterpiece and reserved them for those who have long sought to watch the scariest shit of all time!

Seraphim - (2007) As for Now it Begins [Promo]

Seraphim old artwork

This is the second track (or first??) recorded by Seraphim back in 2006 and released a year later on November 12 2007. An epic grandeur of melody and mayhem, As for Now it Begins proved to be their most ambitious effort to date. Spanning nearly 11 minutes, the song opens up with decent yet memorable acoustic passages which became a trademark for any piece of music written by Malays in Southeast Asia. For those who are familiar with early non - wankering works of Cradle of Filth would readily acknowledge that Han's vocals were downright similar. However, there are a few things which separated them from myriads of imitators or wannabes at their backyard; Seraphim injected potent doses of solos unique to Malays which are alien to acts exported from across the globe. Although one might argue that some key elements are derivative, it remains imperative to note their unparalleled ingenuity. Something that is hard to come by these days. Another thing is, it seemingly epic proportion does not fall short of decent surprises and riffs that one can definitely headbang to. This is not art for art's sake. It goes way beyond that or perhaps deeper than anyone can begin to fathom. However, if you insist to disprove my claim, this song as for now begins to be absorbed within my system as we speak.

Seraphim - (2006) Seraphim [Promo Track]


The band first came into being in 2003 after Jai decided to quit himself from Ouija. Their initial inception consisted of Didie on bass, Amir (formerly of Senjakala) on drums, Die as vocalist with Sofian and Jai on guitars respectively. In 2005, Sofian left the band and he was replaced by Han who subsequently became Seraphim second vocalist. The reason being Han was able to do shrieking vocal while Die was exclusively a growler for the band. Hailing from Brunei Darussalam, at least two songs were successfully recorded by the band. They had also toured Singapore, playing their first ever live show away from home alongside much anticipated appearance of fellow war brothers Draconaeon. In 2008, Seraphim were the first band to be interviewed by two members of now defunct Dark Verministry. The band opposed commercialism and they were known to have vehement adherence to anonymity endemic to underground milieu. Playing melodic death metal with a touch reminiscent of mid - era Cradle of Filth and Swedish death metal sound, particularly that of Gothenburg bands, Seraphim were among few bands that could outdo most 'core' craps in their area.

The song being featured here is perhaps one of two known songs they have recorded back in 2006 although the studio works may have started way earlier than that. Nevertheless, it depicts Seraphim ability to conjure even remotely plausible niche of art within death metal chamber. Song structures are fairly standard yet unpredictable to some degrees. The latter is largely attributed to its capability to entice listeners, both seasoned and amateur in a very intricate way. It also indicates a certain level of sophistication concerning Seraphim song writing skills in which they opted to eschew most banal elements from getting too stagnant, repetitive and one - dimensional. Their effort shines the most and what they do seems to have the potential of becoming something more.

Seraphim are currently in the process of recording another handful of tracks at Victorious Rock Production studio. Details as of yet remained unknown.

Maria - (2005) Bisik Hati [Album Version Single]



This is perhaps somewhat different from what have long been posted on this blog. Yes. This blog is about everything music in its absolute rarity. Shown here is Maria (born Meria Aires). A very well known singer from Brunei Darussalam, she initially does not intend to make a career out of singing but has somehow able to top the poor music industry over here.

On to the music: The song starts off with syrupy acoustic intro which becomes the main driving force. Her vocals do not have much variation other than hitting quasi - high notes with full passion. Yet, they are as beautiful as the person herself. She has lungs specially designed for pop and soft rock which surprisingly worked very well on this track. It is this fact that sets her apart from other Gaga or Siti Nurhaliza wannabe whose English is all over the place. Again, nothing special. It's just the same thing we've heard a hundred thousand of times before. Nevertheless, the music is catchy with tunes that are easily memorable they stick to the back of your mind. The drums are something that superficial listeners may pass on, but they are strong and thoroughly projected although at times one can notice they are just random fills.Yes. Random is the word. They are good but seemed to clutter all over the place unnecessarily. Evident that of the song being constructed without proper song writing techniques. It follows the overall pattern of pop rock song which appeals to those who readily thrived on mainstream current, but may not mean anything for the crust - of - the - Earth dwellers. All in all an interesting listen and significantly memorable at that.
