CD REVIEW: WHIPLASH (Jogjakarta Thrash) - "War of Terror", by Hendra Yuwono, 12/8/2016 (Indonesian)

Late review by Hendra Yuwono:

Whiplash (Indonesian Thrash Metal band) - "War of Terror" CD (Disembowel Records)

WHIPLASH (Jogjakarta)

Secara produkusi album ini digarap sangat baik, dan hasil mixing bagus, semua details suara jelas, lagu lagu didalam album ini easy listening, cuman sayang terlalu Metallica, beberapa track tambal sulam dari part lagu lagu metallica dari era Kill 'em all, Ride the Lightning, ...and Justice for All, black album, semestinya mereka lebih percaya diri jangan terlalu banyak comot part lagu lagu Metallica, dan ada satu track opening Slayer begitu masuk lagu Metallica. Dan pada part guitars juga Lead melody juga terlalu Kirk Hammett, vocal terlalu James Hetfield, pattern drums juga terlalu Lars, bagi saya sayang karena kurang originalitas jati diri bandnya, semestinya bisa lebih baik, semoga dialbum berikut lebih baik lagi.

6 / 10
All around ini lumayan buat yang kangen Metallica era sebelum mereka cacat mental!!!
Hail old Metallica!!!! [This review was used with the kind permission of Hendra Yuwono.]

CD REVIEW: TENGGOROKAN (Kediri Kingdom DM) - "Execution of Death" CD (2015), by Andrew Sick

Tenggorokan (Kediri Kingdom Death Metal) - Execution of Death (Disembowel Records, 1,000 copies)

From Kediri / East Java, Tenggorokan are back after a few years of silence to offer their debut f***ing album entitled "Execution of Death" and spreading the terror in the world of extreme f***ing musick! This Indonesian band performs a Brutal Death F***ing Metal that could also be called Barbaric Death Metal f***ing sick and enjoyable being able to mix very well the Death Metal and Brutal Death elements! "Execution of Death" contains ten f***ing songs including an intro and are for the most part of high f***ing quality, maybe a couple of songs a little less good and some less enjoyable riffs but in general this f***ing shit is a pure bomb of brutality of a great f***ing success! Tenggorokan is Viky (Vocals), Yahnes (Guitars), Martin (Bass), Yuna (Drums) and the sickos are delivering a mighty f***ing composition and despite some imperfections, they do their f***ing job very well with this excellent f***ing release that just marked the beginning of a brutal shitty journey for this great f***ing band! Viky is doing an excellent f***ing job on vox by giving a powerful guttural that could be perhaps a mix between Mark "Barney" Greenway (Napalm Death) and Fabio Marin (Internal Suffering), Yahnes on guitars is f***ing great and offering some great and brilliant riffs with an excellent songwriting, Martin on Bass is also doing a very good job and finally Yuna on drums is f***ing brutal and fast still mixing very well tempos but missing maybe a little energy at some f***ing parts! The production of this f***ing shit is still very good, well done mixing despite some flaws and a good sound maybe lacking a little of rawness but still sounding like a f***ing ton of f***ing shit! 36 brutal f***ing minutes of pure savagery that are mostly f***ing excellent with an oppressive atmosphere added with a brutal music destroying everything in his f***ing path! Tenggorokan has managed their debut in the Brutal Death Metal with an ingenious f***ing composition and "Execution of Death", despite some negative points, is of an obvious f***ing enjoyment and is definitely recommended to all Death Metal and Brutal Death f***ing fans around! Great & Brutal F***ing Stuff! 8/10. [This review was first published by Andrew Sick of Sick Reviews on 3 January 2016 and is used here with his kind permission.]

CD REVIEW: DIGGING UP (Bandung) - "Disseminated Inapparent Infection" CD (2014), by Andrew Sick

Digging Up (Bandung) - Disseminated Inapparent Infection (Disembowel Records)

From the Kingdom of Metal Indonesia, Digging Up are finally ready to f***ing drop their highly anticipated f***ing bomb "Disseminated Inapparent Infection"! 36 minutes, nine f***ing songs (one instrumental and one Jasad cover), this puddle of f***ing puke is all about the real Brutal Death F***ing Metal played in a sick and extreme f***ing way that I think can be a mixture of the old Indonesian Brutal Death with influences of American bands like Gorgasm, Disgorge, Condemned...! Digging Up is Andry Gila (Vocals), Sebastian Dedra (Guitars), Wedra Ramsey (Bass), Arief Rahadian (Drums) and the four sickos are doing an awesome f***ing job with this f***ing piece of sickness of a constant and excellent brutality! The production of this pure f***ing sick shit is f***ing good, also the mixing despite some lack at the drums, a very heavy and powerful f***ing sound that stabs our f***ing ears with a bunch of f***ing shit! "Disseminated Inapparent Infection" is filled with almost only f***ing great riffs, some perhaps a little less enjoyable but I think this f***ing shit is still a total success, f***ing sick vocals completely brutal as f*** that can seem sometimes redundant but never bother us and drums f***ing successful, fast and f***ing sick as f***! Digging Up just show us that the f***ing wait has been worth it fully with an outstanding f***ing album which I think is already f***ing cult for Indonesia and the rest of the shitty world and despite its flaws, this f***ing insane release is almost f***ing perfect at all brutal levels! "Disseminated Inapparent Infection" is without f***ing doubt a f***ing must for all f***ing brutal sickos worldwide! Amazing Brutal F***ing Shit! 9/10.

Comment from Teguh Prasetyo (who joined DIGGING UP on bass after this album but has now left the band): "This album really improved my technique, and I quite got nervous when first jamming with Dedra Digging, because he is a man with reputation, and I f***ed up a lot at first" [22/5/2016].

Comment from Teguh Prasetyo: "Dedra invited me to his home when I was still with him in Digging Up, like just hangout in his home, drinking coffee and sharing about everything...I will do it again someday" [23/5/2016].
