It all started in the beginning of 1999, when: Firman (guitars), Ibrahim (drums), Sina (bass), Ahmad Fauzi (vocals), and Erlan (guitars) formed an untitled band in Bandung (the capital city of West Java) concerning with root of metal acts. But unfortunately, the band did not last longer because Sina had to study in Semarang (Central Java) and Erlan had to leave the band because of some personal reasons with the other members. After a few months latter, the band recruited two more members: Haryono (vocals) and Roby (guitars), and the line-up was changed to: Ibrahim (drums), Firman (bass), Haryono (vocals), Ahmad Fauzi (vocals) and Roby (guitars). Then the band played their first cover songs of Black Metal and Goth Metal bands such as: Cradle Of Filth (Malice Through The Looking Glass), Moonspell (Opium), and Rakoth (Fear- It Wasn’t In The Design). To make it more harmonic and “easy listening” to their music, the band recruited Adam as the keyboard player and Iqbal as the new drummer replacing Ibrahim (which latter he became the guitar player with Roby). For some little fact, the band was first known as “Father’s Bastard”, but lately this name was to contradictive for a Goth Metal band (I think the name may fit for a Death Metal band). Thus, in 31st October 2000 the band decide to change the name to “Elmeod” (el-meod), which in Arabian is called “al-mauth” (translation: “death”) and it was inspired from the literature of The Holy Quran (Al - Qu’ran) based on the philosophy and the true meaning of death.

GRIND BUTO was formed in last July 1994 by it's personnel, they were FRANK YUDO (bass, vocal), HENK (guitars, bass), and EDDY (drums). In 1995 JAMEEL, now guitarist of AAARGH, supported GRIND BUTO formation but he was out to the excuse of different principles in music. In 1996 EDDY followed JAMEEL's decision for the same reason. Frank Yudo (bass, vocal)As the result of this happening GRIND BUTO had no drummer at the moment, but it's not made FRANK and HENK spirits collapse. In accordance with human limitation and the difficulties to find the drummer who had speed and powerful like SUPERSONIC AEROPLANE! They used electrical DRUM MACHINE to replace their drummer position. The electrical DRUM MACHINE is used to ballance and adding the EXTREMELY and the INTENSITY speed of rhythm supported by FRANK's GROWLING VOCAL. Although GRIND BUTO has been using DRUM MACHINE it's not consider something TABOO! Because this method can be seen to the other UNDERGROUND GROUPS such as MORTICIAN of USA and ROTOR of INDONESIA.Henk (guitars) You can estimate GRIND BUTO's music by listening the demos entitled "EXTREME DAMAGE". Finally GRIND BUTO hope to the INDONESIAN UNDERGROUND to be proud to self-ability in playing UNDERGROUND MUSIC because…….It's real man!!!! In playing this music we have same grade as ALL THE UNDERGROUND MUSICIAN in ALL AROUND THE WORLD!

A year later, in early 1998, EXCISION was invited to join a compilation entitled "Last Minutes of Safety" (released by US label Loud Cat Productions and Indonesian label THT Productions). For this compilation, a new song called "Purpose" was recorded. Through the song, EXCISION instantly got positive responses. In August 1998, he wrote some new songs for EXCISION and then recorded them for a mini album release entitled "The Quality of Mankind". This is marked as EXCISION's most controversial work yet. In early 2000, Jefray started to write new material for EXCISION's debut album entitled "Visi" which has a 'darker' and 'mood-orientated' feel inside the body of music as he combines all his recent moods with his metal backgrounds and the dark electronic realms which he is being interested in. This time, another member, sf/y, joined him on vocals and additional arrangements. Now, EXCISION's next full-length album entitled "Default" is ready to move everyone with its uniqueness and emotion.

Bloody Gore formed in the mid of august 1996 with the sole purpose of creating the most sick, extreme, and repulsive form of music. US & Canadian sound of brutality became the most influence of the band at that time. Late in Dec 1996 Feby parted with Bloody Gore for personal reasons and was replaced by Ewien. With this line up the band began playing many gigs & started gaining attention from the local scene as a cover version band. In Sept 1997 Ewien left the band to joined his old band. At that time the band was hard to find someone who really into the same shit, idea, and kind of friendship. After a few months Mithos began interested to filled up the bass position. Late in Nov 1998 Bloody Gore recorded their first promo tape which included two extremely brutal songs. Through this promo tape the band became more well known in their local scene. One song off their promo tape was featured on Brutally Sickness comp. tape which released by ESP production (Indonesia). After writting enough material the band entered the studio to recorded their debut demo tape entitled "Stench Of Your Perversion" in June of 1999. The result was six pulverizing composite of ultra brutal death grind that fuse with guttural vomit spurts, shredded riffs, and insanely fast as fuck drumming from beginning to the end.
Bealiah formed in 1996 by Dozhaiatlach D. Inspired and Encouraged by the Ancient Immortal Spirit, Bealiah recorded its self-titled demo on August 1996. Four songs of symphonic atmospheric black metal art are displayed within this demo which were released on cassette format by THT Productions. In early 1998, a 2-song promo tape was recorded which once again, displays Bealiah's raw emotions of symphonic black metal music. Bealiah unleashed its first debut album entitled “Weeping at The Crimson Moon” through THT Productions. It marks the uniqueness of Bealiah's musical personality. The style of music is ranging from what you call primitive black metal a-la Venom, Bathory, or Hellhammer, to symphonic, to more melancholic side of extremity. Now in year 2000, Bealiah has done its newest recording entitled “Dark”, also a 3 tracks split release "Transcending Ambience". The man behind Bealiah, Dozhaiatlach D., has chosen to stay in solitude and thus cannot be contacted (no band contact address).
