Irsyad (Sickles vocalist) first on left with his new shipmates bound for Finland.

SICKLES BAND NEWS MADURA: Vocalist Irsyad has started working full-time on a cruise ship bound for Finland. He has had this plan for a long time. The band is using additional vocalist on the stage (the vocalist of ANT KILLERS band). Bassist Rony has started a two-man Brutal Death Metal project called DECAYING FLESH with the guitarist of MORGOD (Surabaya). The band is signed to Swallow Vomit Production and are preparing now for their first album. There is no special news from guitarist Arie Sickles nor from drummer Haidir. Who knows what the future will hold for SICKLES band but I hope they continue and can record a full-length album. SICKLES is a promising band with technical skill, creativity, and energy. The lyrical themes are based on Madura history and mythology. SICKLES band released its debut seven-song EP Series Elite Disaster in March 2014 (500 copies) with the line-up of: Irsyad (v), Arie (g), Rony (b), and Haidir (d). A NEW DECAYING FLESH INTERVIEW WILL BE POSTED THIS WEEK [by Kieran James].

CD REVIEW: SICKLES (Bangkalan Death Metal) - "Series Elite Disaster" EP (2014), by Andrew Sick

SICKLES 2015-2016 line-up. Left to Right: Rony (bass), Haidir (drums), Irsyad (vocals), Arie (guitar).

Sickles (Bangkalan Death Metal) - Series Elite Disaster (Self-Released, now also available on iTunes)

From the metal f***ing lands of Indonesia and formed in 2012, Sickles come with their first EP entitled "Series Elite Disaster"! Sickles perform a Brutal Death f***ing Metal with a big side of Death Metal and you can also find in this f***ing diversified disk some Black Metal and Grindcore influences and some technical moments! Muhammad Irsyad (Vocals), Arie Hardiyanto (Guitars), Roni Hardiyanto (Bass) and Haidir Arief Firdaus (Drums) are fulfilling their roles f***ing perfectly by performing an inspired, creative and f***ing brutal musick! "Series Elite Disaster" contains a very good production, a f***ing good mixing and sound, nothing spectacular but giving a raw result with f***ing good quality at all f***ing levels and a bass sound very present! The four Indonesian sickos have made an excellent f***ing job, very good vocals of Irsyad which can seems sometimes a bit redundant but is still f***ing enjoyable, f***ing great riffs in general from Arie and Roni with many good, catchy and some f***ing great bass parts, same thing on the drums side performed by Haidir, very good, f***ing fast and adding some insane f***ing moments! With its seven songs (one intro / one outro) and 20 f***ing minutes, this f***ing shit is very enjoyable, some truly f***ing brutal songs like "Arrival" or "Sabda Busuk Penguasa" but may contain some slightly weaker f***ing moments on songs like "In Carok We Blast" or "Apocalypse" and you can also find some clean symphonic or grindcore vocals! Despite its shortcomings, I think Sickles did a very good f***ing job with "Series Elite Disaster" by their imaginative side they still managed to stand out from the f***ing mass of bands everywhere and is a band to check for every true Death Metallers in the f***ing heart and we can only hope some great future shits from this f***ing awesome band! Very Good F***ing Shit! 7/10. [This review was first published by Andrew Sick of Sick Reviews on 1 January 2015 and is used here with his kind permission.]

Band line-up 2015: Antony Maulana (guitar / vocals), Wahyu (drums), Adi (guitar), and Dimas (bass).

Arie Sickles, Rony Sickles, Dhinie Allegrea

Kieran James (Busukwebzine): Please tell us the band history.

Antony: We were formed in 2009. Arie Sickles was in this band in 2010. He left the band in 2011. We started with only two members Wahyu and me. We only had vocalist and drummer. When Wahyu left I was alone. Wahyu left in 2012 and then he came back in this year 2014. Adi and Dimas joined in 2012 after Arie left.

KJ: What are the band’s influences?

Antony: Thrash-metal such as WARBRINGER and HAVOK. We played thrash originally but we wanted to have a new experience by jumping into death-metal.

KJ: What are your death-metal influences?

Antony: OBITUARY, PYREXIA, and SUFFOCATION.

KJ: Are you influenced by any Indonesian bands?

Antony: The thrash-metal band SUCKERHEAD.

KJ: Indonesian death-metal band influences?

Antony: No, I prefer the old-school. ROTTEN CORPSE [Malang] is part of the history.

 

KJ: Why do you like to play death-metal?

Antony: I want to play more daring than thrash-metal. I like the groove and the distortion of death-metal more than thrash.

KJ: Have you released an album or demo?

Antony: One single, one song.

KJ: In the Bangkalan scene who helped you the most?

Antony: SICKLES and TYRANNICAL MIRROR.

KJ: What is your comment about this band?

Rony (SICKLES bassist): This band is amazing.

Arie (SICKLES guitarist): Stay old-school!

Dhinie (ALLEGREA vocalist): Have you ever played outside of Bangkalan?

Antony: We played in many cities such as Surabaya, Mojokerto, Sidoarjo, Pasuruan, Lumajang, Banyuwangi, Gresik, and Jember.

KJ: What is your favourite city to play?

Antony: Lumajang.

Dhinie: How did you get to many gigs in East Java?

Antony: Motorcycles. We bring our own equipment on our motorcycles. If it is raining we must find a place to stop. I have an experience to share. We had a gig in Jember. Normally it takes five to six hours to get there but because of the weather it took 12 hours.

KJ: Do the normal people in Bangkalan know what metalheads really are?

Antony: Most of them don’t know.

Irsyad (SICKLES vocalist): MUTILATION is the first death-metal band in Bangkalan. SICKLES is second.

KJ: How do you feel that you are the first death-metal band in Bangkalan but SICKLES now became a little bit famous overseas?

Antony: MUTILATION is actually from Kamal (West Madura). This is where I live. I left SICKLES because it is easier for me to grow with MUTILATION. It relates to distance and time to have the rehearsal. So when SICKLES gets more famous I am proud of SICKLES. There are no hard feelings. We still support each other although we are far away.

KJ: What are your favourite Indonesian bands?

Antony: SUCKERHEAD and DEATH VOMIT. I don’t really follow the Indonesian scenes.

Irsyad Sickles: When will you make an album?

Antony: Maybe next year 2015 we will prepare. We already have eight songs. We did a cover song KREATOR – “Endless Pain”.

KJ: Do you plan to issue a split album with any other band?

Antony: Not yet but I will think about that.

KJ: What are the topics of the lyrics?

Antony: About killing, criminality, and politics with scary lyrics.

KJ: What is the language?

Antony: Indonesian and English. 

Rony Sickles: Antony is a multi-talent. He plays all instruments but keyboards.

Antony: I played bass for SICKLES and drums for MUTILATION. I filled the drum position until Wahyu came back. Now I am just vocals and guitar.

Bangkalan Plaza

KJ: Is there a suitable studio here?

Antony: It is quite hard to find an operator who can do the mixing well. SICKLES finally made it to make it here.

KJ: What do you think are the good and the bad things about the Bangkalan scene?

Antony: We have loyal metalheads who come to most of the gigs.

Rony Sickles: We also have social-welfare activities such as Clean up the Environment. We also collect donations to give to foundations which need support.

KJ: What is your future dream?

Antony: Making an EP album and then a full album. My other dreams are to play at Hammersonic Fest and sign with Nuclear Blast.
