will support us.

foreign lyrics? / KJ5:

who ask why you play western-style music?
/ KJ9: Apa yang Kamu katakan kepada orang-orang
yang bertanya mengapa Kamu memainkan musik bergaya barat?
ANSWER: This
question can be answered easily...Here we say that we also have the right
to be able to produce some songs that can destroy, pollute, and carry the
message that the ordinary humble people can resist anything...to be honest we
do not really care about what our genre is named...anybody has the right to
judge...but on the other hand we also have the right to do what we want to
do. And one more thing...we are quite tired with the genre classification
issue...for many reasons...because we see only that it causes many konflik sama like people fighting over which political party is best and terkuat...lalu
they start to become very, very harsh in judging things.

metal community in your city? / KJ11: Apakah hal-hal yang terbaik dan terburuk
tentang komunitas di kota kalian?

of spreading our songs ultimately try too hard to distinguish membeda-bedakan between
genres.
