Another long hiatus.

It's been a long while since i last published anything here.

Was i too busy? probably. but i'm definitely a procrastinator. i'm making it easy to figure out why there's such a long gap in publishing any blogs in this..err..blogspot.

I just got back from Ipoh. Yup, my hometown, to play a gig with my new band, Cruelty Division.

It's the band's first gig and it came out great, well at least from my point of view. I think finally the line up is tight enough to give a tight performance. The crowd was ok although most of em were standing straight watching the whole performance trying to figure out what exactly we were playing. well, i dont blame em for that cos that's the 1st time most of em ever heard of our music.

We did get a request to play more songs after we're done with our setlist so i suppose that was a good sign that they actually received what we're actually trying to give em. There are a few flaws in the performance ie no bassist, zero communication with the crowd, but that can be overcome with more gigs that we'll play. I have to be optimistic here. By the way, this is the best line up due to the fact that they are all committed in what they're doing and have lots of ideas to share.

I just wanna do what i love most.

Yeah, so easy to say but not so easy to do. Sometimes saying those words can give me the shivers.
Consider me as someone who is deprived. Yes, i admit, i'm deprived. I love music. No. Not in the 'ooh ahh' sense. It's life. It's who I am. Yeah. Music.
Then you may ask, why are'nt you famous? Haven't seen you on tv, or something like that. So i suppose the ultimate goal in music is to be famous and to be on tv? Maybe. For some.
I'm sure there are people who share the same thoughts about music with me, just to say, i cant be the only one (definitely).
So what is music to me? Freedom. Something so significant to me that i really believe, yes, i do, that it is what defines me. I'm aware of how horrid and foul the definition may go, or went, but this is it. This is my reality.
Back to my deprivation. What exactly am i deprived of? The ability to define and be defined through music.

Perjuangan

Damn.
I hate that word. Especially when it's related to Metal. Music, that is. Who in hell thinks Metal is a 'perjuangan'? That is so lame.
Metal is rock n roll in the most extreme way! Is rock n roll a perjuangan? Fuck NO! rock n roll is no rules no holds barred fuck you fuck me fuck everyone do what you want thing!
And I intend to keep it that way.

selamat berjuang!

Ipoh. Land of Lost Souls AKA Land Of the Menggelupo.

Going back to Ipoh tonite. 4-5 cars from KL. Gonna play a gig tomorrow. The venue? Kepura Cave at Tambun Lost World. It's gonna be an unofficial reunion of the dreaded Ipoh's Metal Militants.
3 of the original bands are lined up for the gig. Should be a lot of fun. Grim. But fun.
Langsuyr, Necrotic Chaos and Profane Creation. Cool. Grim. Fun.
But that's just a part of the agenda. The main thing will be the barbeque at my mum's house. Almost all the IMM will be there. When was the last time we actually got together? No idea. 10 years ago? Before that, we hang out almost everyday and none of us have the slightest care in the world. We were tight.And we're proud as fuck. We have our own language and to join us is like trying to enrol for a degree in oxford with with kantoi SPM. WE choose who can join us and if you think you're proud, we are prouder. Or so like that.

Hopefully there'll be a renewed bond between us and IMM will be back splitting heads and kicking the asses off those.. err.. whoever needs their heads to be split and their ass kicked.
