CHELSEA GRIN, and SEEDS OF BLOOD.

good co-operation.

| Irsyad Sickles and Arie Sickles |
KJ: What are the good
things and the bad things about Bangkalan metal scene?
AK: The good thing is
that many young people here want to try to play metal even though it’s hard to
play the instruments. The bad thing is that the people around here think that
metal people are bad people not like dangdut or pop people.
KJ: What do your
parents think about you playing metal music?
AK: Our parents support
us as long as it does not interfere with school time.
KJ: Who are the people
in Bangkalan scene who helped you the most?
AK: Rony and Arie
Sickles [Sickles guitarist] and all the bands in Bangkalan.
KJ: Why do you like to
play deathcore instead of Death Metal?
AK: First of all, we
liked Death Metal and after that we like to play deathcore. Deathcore is simple
to play the instruments.
KJ: What is your
comment about this band?
Irsyad Sickles: I think
AK has a good vocal. The technique of the vocalist Bayu is good. They have a
good performance. They have good solidarity. I like this band.
KJ: What are your
favourite Indonesian bands?
AK: REVENGE THE FATE
[Bandung] and NYAM NYAM CHEESE.
