EPHEMERAL was formed in mid 1994. The name was given by our ex-drummer, Epit. At that time, the lineup consist of Jepp (vocal), Rafiz (bassist), Rosnie (guitar), and Epit (drum). In late 1995, Epit left the band due to his personal problem. After that, Lee joined the force and took over the tools. In July 1996, we had unleashed our first demo at Bach & Traz Studio, Bangsar. We had sold 100 copies of our first demo and it was sold thru gigs and fellow friends. A month, after the demo had been released, we felt that EPHEMERAL should have another guitarist, so we decided to take Rosz who was Rosnie’s brother to join up the force, in order to strive more powerful material in the future. As years passed by, the band became more matured. In March 1999, rafiz has left from the band because he wanted to concentrate on his own band project. Finally, we managed to get the replacement for him, Haniff. After a few practice and session, we finally composed a few material for our future recording. April 2000, we have composed a few new material and a promo was recorded at Eclipse Studio, Klang consists of 10 songs inclusive one cover song from Judas Priest which is ” Breaking The Law “. In February 2001, Rafiz decided to hook once again with EPHEMERAL and we decided to recruit him back. End of 2002, Koin left the band and we recruited Es to take over his position. After a few jamming session with our new guitarist we managed to compose 4 songs with a combination of Death Metal added some of our old element.

Envenom
The diabolikal existence of ENVENOM began way back in mid 2002 with two demons behind the banner of blasphemy, lust, war and hatred namely NekroRepudiation DivineAnnihilation (4-string Demon Axe) and VaginalPerversion and BestialKuntqueror (Atomik NuklearHammerz of Satan). The demons strongly possessed by the cult acts such as the mighty Brazillian godz, SARCOFAGO, the legendary Canadian Ross Bay Satanik Black Metal Skinhead, BLASPHEMY, German godz, DESTRUCTION & SODOM as well as various other Black/Death/Thrash/Heavy Metal acts from around the globe such as early IMPALED NAZARENE, SWORDMASTER, NIFELHEIM, IMPIETY, ABHORER, BLACK WITCHERY, BEHERIT, GOAT SEMEN, SABBAT, GRAND BELIAL’S KEY, CRUCIFIER, REVENGE, CONQUEROR, AXIS OF ADVANCE, ANGEL CORPSE, MORBID ANGEL, SADISTIK EXEKUTION, BESTIAL WARLUST and countless others more. Finding out that the band would not be succeeded with only two line-ups, the demons asking for help from the other komrades among their legion. This makes way for other installment on Blasphemous Hatred and 666 Strings of Demonokkultik Impalerz duties. So, that the line-up was thought to be completed but it never seems that way. After week-by-week and month-by-month, the thought of being a perfect line-up slowly decaying and fading away from the real meaning of ENVENOM. Different view on ideologies and taste of musickal assault and lyrickal perversion & blasphemy had led to the split of the current line-up at that time. The three of them has been thrown away from the hellkamp since they were never really into the Satanik Metal Desekration. Sworn in the name of Sathanas, never once gone back from what they were. Still, the demons staying at the roots of what once they have proclaimed. Blasphemik, satanik, lustful, war upon human race and religious hypocrites, and countless other lyrickal perversions to bring devastation, hatred, and kaos upon the land of weak mortals have been the only reasons why ENVENOM is still breathing till these days while others quit from what they swore for the band and losing hope upon the blessed horde of Mammon due to the slow progression within the hellkamp. But, all hail to them for being part of the satanik legion and 666 infernal salutantz for the die-hard dedication in the past towards ENVENOM. Upon request of NekroRepudiation, VaginalPerversion has asking for help from BlackBlood Debauchery of Blasphemy to handle the GoatKommand Holokaust and Blasphemous Hatred position and also a new addition on the 666 Strings Demonokkultik Impaler duties which is Baphogoat Sadomaso of Unholy Satanik Fornikator.

Dictator (Malaysia)
Dictator is a new metal band and was originally formed by ex-member of Ibliziel (R.I.P.), Rudi somewhere in 2000 / 2001 as a 3-piece jamming band. On that time Dictator is just Rudi (guitar / bass), Azman (drums) and Borhan (lead guitar / vocals). We just play any metal / punk cover song that we can as long as we like it and just for having some fun. In the end of 2003, we’ve invited Bowtuck and Cepoi to join the band and the position has changed. The line up are Bowtuck (drums), Azman (bass), Borhan (guitar), Cepoi (guitar) and Rudi (vocals). After having some practice session, Cepoi decided to leave the band due to his working commitment and then followed by Borhan due to his lack of interest in Dictator music. Then we’ve invited Jai and Rasid and once again the position has changed. Bowtuck (drums), Azman (guitar), Rudi (vocals), Rasid (bass) and Jai (lead guitar). We’ve played our first gig on 31st August 2005 at Sound Force Studio, Kajang with some other local act such as Antacid, The Reaper, Shock System, etc… We just play one original song and some other cover song from Venom, Helloween, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. After the gig, Jai left the band for personal reason. So, we’ve invited Anoi to take over the vocals. And the latest line up are Bowtuck (drums), Azman (guitar), Rasid (bass), Rudi (guitar / backing vocals) and Anoi (vocals). All of Dictator’s line up other than Rudi never played in any band before. And in the end of 2005, after we feel like the latest line up fits the best in this band, we tried to be more serious with the band and we’ve composed more of our own songs. You can describe anything to our musical genre according to your knowledge and we don’t care much about it. We just call it Metal!!! On 18th April 2006 we’ve played our second gig at Metalizer Studio, Bangi together with Die Young from Texas, SelfMadeGod, Sign Of Wolves And Leather, Devastator, Mass Separation, etc… We have released our live recorded promo Cd-r on May 2006. The sound quality of this promo Cd-r is a bit raw and ugly but we just don’t give a fuck bout it!!! Hell!!! It’s still listenable… It’s raw and fast, direct riffing aggressive metal!!! After the release of our Promo Cd-r 2006, we’re now working on our new track to be release on our upcoming demo. Prepare for the next fucking raw metal aggression!!! We’ve uploaded two tracks from our promo Cd-r called “World That Full Of Hate” and “The Undone” plus one cover song from Venom called “Countess Bathory” (not included in the promo Cd-r) here in our page.

Dark Regime
Darkregime was formed from the ashes of their previous band Kaffan. In Jun 2003, Ozzymay and Essey started what was to become Kelantan’s war black/death bands. They started to play cover song from AS SAHAR and made it as one of major influences in their musical composition. During early 2005, Jeff joined the band as permanent drummer. Immediately, Wan Slaughter filled guitarist position. The band quickly wrote new material for their first ever promo “…The Beginning Of The Dark Empire”. This promo received great feedback. In July 2006, the band parted ways with Wan Slaughter. Then, Darkregime recruited guitarist, Kema from In Torment/Incarcerate. Shortly after the new line up solidified, Darkregime selected for Metal to Metals Part 2 Compilation. They were proud to join this compilation. Shortly after, Darkregime completed their dreams when Hanael from AS SAHAR chose them for Tribute to As Sahar project. Newer material started to outline a progression in the music. Notably the music got heavier, and faster!

Damokis
The band has been quite few year around since the formation in 1995 where AGIGI&FAUZI has been drilling hole out to find clues on how far the grindcore should bewell accepted in the underground scene ,especially in their homeland ,Malaysia .Despite the enthusiasm and braveness ,they both then long-term agreement to get a fully motivated band to play just ‘GRINDCORE’ music and they did it with the from some new member during those time ,SHAH is recruited it handle the vocal part while AIN(TANDUS) is helping on the bass. Year later, they began to get new monicker by the name DAMOKLES,which is a name taken from one of the lyrics that can be found on the SODOM”Agent Orange”.Lack of equipment and the time forcing the band to bo stranded for nearly 2 year being nothing before SHAH&AIN forcing themselves to leave the in the hussle time. The payback has been lighted up in the mid 1998 where EPOL(LOGAM)happily joined in for the comeback and put on his bass responsibility .Getting started up all back was hard decision when the band could not still find any suitable vocal to fit in on some of their songs that been written during Epol joining .Not until when spotted Tasyrif from AMITHRAGATA that later agreed to join in a year later .The line up has been created with fully discussion on the motive of how the band should goes with this ‘’grindcore’ direction and the result is the official debut demo in February 2001.”Never Mind The Bastards…Here’s Damokis’’ which is recorded using the 4-traxs Fostex multicorders .this is where the monicker too has been changed from ‘’DAMOKLES’’ to ‘’DAMOKIS’’ Lot of feedbacks and maturity critic’s has been received throughout the released and shows has been set-up too around their hometown. Felt lacking of sound ability, the band began searches for a new member to joined in this and where Muhairi is spotted to handle the bass while Epol is switching to guitar and the lineup once again has been reshuttled with confidence and no more changes while occurred .Show after show followed and the people are getting to know the existence of DAMOKIS around .This showed the band seriousness while onstage and the grind music that played which make the demo completey sold out to in just two month of it released. -

Claw
Claw was brought to life somewhere in 2004 by the dark and mghty souls from the ashes of Knight Wars hordes. Claw plays black metal of their own style. No trendies !!! It was Nocturno and Ravendusk who started to get back together and hit the jamming studios around KL and started to composed and write new songs and then later joined by Warlord and to complete the circle Silencer joined as a vox….and now Claw are unleashed with full force, dark, hateful, unsane but yet catchy guitar riffing and fast drumming with misanthropic, life and death, war and depression theme lyrically. Later in March 2007 their first rehearsal demo unleashed with 2 killer tracks and 1 cover song from Venom. Demo is a self-release cd-r for a very limited copy and the band still looking to work with interested label.
