Call it like God Bless, Gang Pegangsaan, Gypsy (Jakarta), Giant Step, Super Kid (Bandung), Terncem (Solo), AKA / SAS (Surabaya), Bentoel (Malang) until Rawe Rontek from Banten. They are the first generation of rockers Indonesia. The term itself actually underground magazine has been used since the early era Aktuil 70 - an. The term is used magazines and music pioneer lifestyles from Bandung was to identify the bands that played loud music with a style that is more `wild 'and` extreme' for the size of his era. And to be honest, the songs played by the bands mentioned above are not the work of their own songs, but bands of foreign kinds Deep Purple, Jefferson Airplane, Black Sabbath, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Kansas, Rolling Stones to ELP . This counterproductive tradition and history
his name had fragrant on the national stage. Call it like El Pamas, Grass Rock (Malang), Power Metal (Surabaya), Adi Metal Rock (Solo), Val Halla (Medan) to Roxx (Jakarta). Also log too, who gave birth to the birth of the label's first rock record in Indonesia, Logiss Records. The first product is an album labels
God Bless the third, "Black Ants" was released in 1988 and sold up to 400,000 records in Indonesia.

Toward the end of the 80s era, the whole world at that time a young child is experiencing fever thrash metal music. A development of musical style that is more extreme metal more than heavy metal. Bands who became his gods include Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Megadeth, Kreator, Sodom, Anthrax to Sepultura. Most big cities in Indonesia like Jakarta, Bandung, Jogjakarta, Surabaya, Malang to Bali, scene undergroundnya first born of the extreme music genre. In Jakarta alone metal community first appeared in public in early 1988. Community child metal (the term was not yet popular underground) was used to hang out at the Pid Pub, a small pub in the shopping area Pondok Indah, South Jakarta. According to Krisna J. Sadrach, frontman Sucker Head, other than hanging out, kids who hang out there by Aunt Esther, Pid Pub owner, given the opportunity to get a gig there. Every Saturday night there is usually always a live show of the new bands in the Pid Pub and most bands that carry the rock or metal music.

Some bands on the next trip much splitting into new bands. Commotion Of Resources is the embryo of sap gothic metal band, while the rough is the embryo death metal band Alien Scream lawas. In addition Oddie, Painfull Death vocalist then formed Sic Mynded industrial group in the United States with Rudi Soedjarwo (director Ada Apa Dengan Cinta?). The rotor itself was formed in 1992 after guitarist cabutnya Sucker Head, Irvan Sembiring who felt the concept of Head Sucker music was still less extreme for him.

Spirit that brought these predecessors are still struggling traditional pattern of `old school ', proud to be the band's cover versions! Among them all, only the lucky Roxx recordings for their first single, "Rock echo". This happens because they are one of the finalists Rock Festival-Indonesia to Se-V. Get a recording contract from the label is the obsession is too much at that time. Never mind the recordings, demo recordings can be played on the radio they are happy. At that time a regular radio station aired music rock / metal is the Bahamas Radio, Radio Metro and Radio SK Jaya. From several radio is probably the most legendary is the Radio Mustang. They have a program called Rock N 'Rhythm of
airs every Wednesday night from 19.00 - 21.00 WIB. This radio station even disatroni directly by thrash metal dedengkot Brazil, Sepultura, when they came to Jakarta in June 1992. In addition to the medium of radio, mass media which often examines news rock / metal at that time only HAI Magazine, Tabloid Citra Vista Music and Magazines.

Besides hanging out at the Pid Pub every weekend, the children of this metal hanging out daily in the parking Retna Pharmacies located in Cilandak, South Jakarta. Some young celebrities hanging out with my first time (groupies?) The children of this metal include Ayu Azhari, Cornelia Agatha, Sophia Latjuba, Karina Suwandi to Kiyani.

former vocalist Rotor.

Not how far from Retna Pharmacy, other locations are often used as rehearsal location is the Studio One Feel, which is the most legendary studio practice and in a way almost all the bands rock / metal lawas been routine practice capital here. Pub Pid addition, an alternative venue where bands rock underground
gig at that time was the Black Hole and restaurants in Manari Open Air Museum Satria Mandala (Poster embryo Café). Despite that, performing arts and music events MA campus often also in the "infiltration" by the metal bands are. Some of the historical pensi include Pamsos (SMA 6 Bulungan), PL Fair (SMA
Pangudi Luhur), Kresikars (SMA 82), the University campus music events
National (Pejaten), Gunadarma University, University of Indonesia (Depok), Unika Atmajaya Jakarta, Indonesia Institute of Technology (Serpong) to Victoria University (Pulomas).

Berkonsernya two international metal supergroup in Indonesia, Sepultura (1992) and Korn (1993) gives considerable contribution to the development of metal bands similar in Indonesia. Shortly after Sepultura successful "burn" the Jakarta and Surabaya, Roxx speed metal band release their debut album self-titled them under
Blackboard label. This cassette album would become one of the classic speed metal album era of Indonesia's 90. The same thing also experienced by the rotor. Phenomenal success Metallica concert opening for two consecutive days in Lebak Bulus Stadium, rotor and then thrash metal release of the first major label in Indonesia, Behind The 8th Ball (Airo). Capitalize recommendations from Metallica's tour manager, and honors the 30 million dollars twice a Metallica concert opening, the rotor personnel (minus drummer Bakkar Bufthaim) exodus to the country and then Uncle Sam to speculate. Sucker Head himself recorded late in releasing the debut album than the band
the rest of their contemporaries. After the major labels signed local, Aquarius
Musikindo, just at the beginning of 1995 they released the album `The Head Sucker '. Head Sucker until now been released recorded four albums.

From such a long journey underground rock in the ground water, probably in the first half of the new 90-anlah decade began many scene-established underground scene in the truest sense in Indonesia. In Jakarta alone consolidation massive metal scene centered in Block M in early 1995. At that time some metal kids often

Their activities other than hang out is the exchange of information about local bands daninternasional, barter CDs, buying and selling metal t-shirts to plan for organizing the concert. Some others chose again to hang out in the basement of Block Mall, who happened to be located underground.

The album was professionally recorded at Studio Triple M, Jakarta, and sound engineer Harry Widodo (formerly been handled albums Roxx, Rotor, Coil, Puppen and PAS).

Similar media that is more consistent then published in Jakarta, among others Morbid Noise zine, Guerilla zine, Rottrevore zine, zine and Cosmic

29 September 1996 marks the beginning of a new era for the development of underground rock in Jakarta. Exactly on that day indie music events held for the first time in Poster Café. The event called "Underground Session" is held once every two weeks working at night. Café owned by legendary rocker geeks

Precisely in this place, January 13, 2002 the past, history Puppen `kill 'them in a historic concert entitled," Puppen: Last Show Ever ", a series of final shows before the band Bandung disband.

Scene Punk / Hardcore / Brit / Indie Pop

Invasion music grunge / alternative album and the release of Kiss This by Sex Pistols in 1992 was enough to trigger a powerful tool in delivery of new bands that do not play metal music. For example, Aer Pestol band from Young Offender community that often the beginning of their work to cover the songs the Sex Pistols complete with dress-up punk and mohawknya haircut. Uniquely, the next trip, around the year 1994, Pestol Aer then change the direction of their music into a band that carries the genre british / indie pop a la the Stone Roses. It is said that this historic event
later became a significant moment for the development scene british / indie pop in Jakarta. Before breaking up, in mid-1997 they had released a debut album titled `... Jang Doeloe '. Early generations of the brit pop scene, among others, are bands Hospital, Wondergel, Planet Earth, Orange, Jellyfish, Brace Hair, Room-V,
Parklife to Death Goes To The Disco.

Aer Pestol was not the first punk band, this capital city in 1989 had given birth punk band / hardcore pioneers who often played Antiseptic numbers of Black Flag, The Misfits, DRI until the Sex Pistols. Lukman (Waiting Room / The Superglad) and Robin (Sucker Head / Noxa) is an alumnus of this band. In addition to frequent gigs in Jakarta, Antiseptic also had a gig at the legendary rockfest Bandung, Hullabaloo II at the end of 1994. Antiseptic own debut album is titled `Finally 'new release eight years later (1997) in Yogyakarta There is also an alternative bands like Ocean that play a la Jane's Addiction and others, unfortunately they could not release the tape.

In addition, in early 1990, Jakarta also printed punk rock band The Idiots who originally duets cover the songs of The Exploited. Not much different from the Antiseptic, only nine years later The Idiots released their debut album titled `Living Comfort In Anarchy 'via indie label Movement Records. Community -
communities punk / hardcore also mushroomed in Jakarta in the era of the 90th. In addition to Young Offender communities had, there are also communities South Sex (SS) in the area of Radio Dalam, subnormal in Kelapa Gading, Semi-People in Duren Sawit, Brotherhood in Slipi, Locos in Blok M to SID in Rawamangun Seventeen.

Bandung scene

In Bandung in early 1994 there was a legendary music studio that became the embryo of underground rock scene there. Reverse his name Studio located in the area Sukasenang. The formation of this studio was conceived by Richard Mutter (then drummer PAS) and Helvi. When growing Reverse then expanded its business by
open distribution (acronym of the distribution) that sells CDs, cassettes, posters, t-shirts, and various other imported accessories. Apart from distribution, Richard also had a chance to form an independent label that releases his first 40.1.24 in the year 1997 is a compilation CD titled "Masaindahbangetsekalipisan." Indie bands that participate in this compilation include Burger Kill, Puppen, Papi, Rotten To The Core, Full of Hate and the Waiting Room, as the only band from Jakarta.

Bands that had been raised by the community Reverse include PAS and Puppen. PAS itself in the year 1993 the band made history as the first time Indonesia released the album independently. Their mini-album titled "Four Through The SAP" sold out in a 5000 tape a short amount of time. Mastermind who gave birth to the idea of releasing an album independently PAS was (late) Samuel Marudut. He was Music Director Radio GMR, the first rock radio station in Indonesia, which often play a recording demos rock bands amateur from Bandung, Jakarta and surrounding areas. Tragically, in early 1995 found dead Marudut lifeless at the residence of Krishna Sucker Head in Jakarta. Surprisingly, this death, according to Krishna, accompanied by the song The End of the album Best of The Doors who played the tape in the room Krisna. Meanwhile Puppen formed in 1992 is one of the pioneers of local hardcore until his death in 2002 had released three albums namely, Not A Pup EP (1995), MK II (1998) and Puppen s / t (2000). Then followed the album Pure Saturday with a self-titled. The album was later assisted his promotion by O Magazine. Kubik also experienced the same thing, by way of a bonus 3 track cassette album before release.

A little to the east, still in Bandung as well, we'll find a community that became the epicenter of underground metal in there, Berung Edge community. Formerly in this area could stand a lot of Studio Palapa raising meritorious underground bands of the rock body, Forgotten, Sacrilegious, Sonic Torment, Morbus Corpse, Tympanic Membrane, Infamy, Burger Kill, and so on.

He exclaimed in Bandung was only the advanced extreme music but also popnya indie scene. Since Pure Saturday came, the indie pop band or an alternative, such as Cherry Bombshell, Sieve, Nasi Putih to the latest like The Milo, Mocca, Homogenic. Similarly, the ska scene actually existed long before the big ska trend. Bands like Agent Noin Bullet and Skins have long carried this musical genre.

Anyone who has witnessed underground rock concert in Bandung must not forget the famous Saparua GOR up to various corners of the country. For indie bands, this venue is like a sacred building full of magical power. Bandung any band out if you have the `godfather 'here yet Afdhal it.

The number of viewers every events in the relatively spectacular, between 5000 - 7000 spectators! Admission only to be traded with all the fantastic price by scalpers. Maybe this is a separate record of unsolved up to now in Indonesia to show the size of underground rock.

Had been called as a barometer of underground rock in Indonesia, Bandung is a city that offers a million clever ideas for the progress of the national scene. Distributions boom that swept across Indonesia today is spearheaded by the city. The success of indie albums selling tens of thousands of pieces of the band experienced Sam also started from this city. Even Burger Kill, Indonesia hardcore band who first signed a contract with major labels, Sony Music Indonesia, also raised in this city.

Scene Surabaya

Underground rock scene in Surabaya began with growing-development of independent bands wing death metal / grindcore around mid-1995. The history begins with the formation of Surabaya Expo event (like Jakarta Fair in Jakarta - Red) where underground bands such as metal, Slowdeath, Torture, Dry, Venduzor, Bushido gig at a music event in the event.

After the event, each band is then agreed to set up an organization called the Independent. Base camp from the organizational goals as the establishment of a unifying container as well as means of information dissemination between the musician / metal underground bands at that time was concentrated in areas Ngagel Mulyo or rather the band's studio Retri Beauty (death metal band with all the personnel of girls, now RIP - Red) . Members of the organization which is the origin of the formation of underground metal scene in Surabaya was deliberately limited to only about 7-10 bands only.

The first plan was Independent when underground rock concert held at the Youth Park, but this plan failed due to consolidation activity in the scene. After getting clear and begin the development of underground metal scene in Surabaya at the end of December 1997 the organization officially disbanded Independent. This effort by expanding the network to the less-insulated bulkhead or become fragmented communities.

In the final days before the dissolution of the Independent organizations, their division record label had released several albums of the bands death metal / grindcore Surabaya. For example Slowdeath's debut album is titled "From Bye Bye Na Sordid Enthusiasm to Self-Destruction" (September 96), Dry's debut album entitled "Under The Veil of Religion" (97), Brutal Torture "Carnal Abuse", Death "Cemetery of Celerage" until the debut album's Inside Fear
is titled "Mindestruction". Subsequent years before underground metal in Surabaya was flooded by the release of an album-release Growl, Thandus, Holy Terror, Kendath to Pejah.

In place of the Independent and then formed Surabaya Underground Society (SUS) right on New Year's Eve 1997 on the campus of the University of 45, when held event berserk I. At that time in Surabaya also has a lot of emerging new bands with the flow of black metal. One of the old death metal band that is, dry and then move the concept along with the music pouring black metal influence in Surabaya at that time.

Only lasted less than a few months, SUS in the same year hit a split in it. Bands black metal wing and then split to form a new vessel called ARMY OF DARKNESS is a base location in Karang Rejo area. In contrast to the black metal bands death metal then decided not to join to form a new organization. Later in the month of September 1997 event was held at IKIP Amok II Surabaya. This event and then record their own history as the most successful event in Surabaya at that time. 25 bands death metal and black metal look from morning until late afternoon and watched by approximately 800 to 1000 people. Ghosts, black metal band from Bekasi also perform at the event as the band's invitation.

Extreme metal scene in Surabaya at that time dominated by more bands than the bands black metal death metal / grindcore. They are also more intense in the event held a black metal band because of the large amount of black metal bands that appear. Recorded later event successful black metal held in Surabaya like ARMY OF DARKNESS I and II.

Precisely dated June 1, 1997 inferno underground community formed the base 178 is located in the Dharma Husada (Prof. Jl.. DR. Moestopo, Red). In a somewhat similar place to house-shop (commercial) was noted there are several business divisions, distribution, music studios, indie labels, fanzine, cafe and event organizer for underground events in Surabaya.

Metal fanzine Inferno 178 home community, Surabaya named POST MANGLED first appeared in the event at that time I HIGH VOLTAGE at the Airlangga University campus appearance bands punk rock and metal. This event was classified as less successful because at the same time also held an event black metal. Unfortunately, this is also followed by cultivation process POST mandegnya Zine MANGLED not visit the latest edition issued today.

Thus, to anticipate the occurrence of stagnansi or gaps in the information scene, was born later HARD LINE Newsletter first published in February 1999. Photocopied newsletter format that has the number of 4-page extensively covered the various activities of underground metal music, punk to HC not only in Surabaya alone but more broadly. Positive responses were much more they come precisely from outside Surabaya city itself. For some reason, they think the public underground rock in Surabaya less appreciative and minimal support for an independent publication of the fanzine or newsletter. Until the end HARD LINE Newsletter has published editions until the 12th.

Division indie label from the inferno at least 178 to about 10 releases album still uses Independent's name as the name of their label. Entering a new year of 2000 and 178 Inferno Productions label producing albums officially the oldest punk band in Surabaya, The Sinners, entitled "Multi-Hatred". Next label

City of cold berhawa taken about three hours drive from Surabaya is proved to have underground rock scene of "hot" since the early 90's decade. Total Tersebutlah name Suffer Community (TSC) is a driving force for the rise of underground rock community in Malang early 1995. Members of this community consists of various inter-scene musician, but his dominance remains

Bali Scene

Speaking underground scene in Bali again we will find the metal community as a forerunner. First mover is the community in the 1921 Bali Denpasar Corpsegrinder. Come to exist in it, among others, Dede Suhita, Putra Pande, Age and Grindcorner Sabdo Moelyo. Dede is a megaton metal magazine editor who published in

SID success inspire Balinese bands other to try harder, yet concrete SID already proved that the band `son 'was able to defeat the ruthless music industry capital. To support the Balinese bands, drummer SID, Jerinx and some of his friends then opened the Maximmum Rock N 'Roll Monarchy (The Max), a music pub in the street Poppies, Kuta. Often a regular rock show was held in this place.

Indie Indonesia 2000s Era

How does the movement of Indonesian independent music scene in 2000's era? The presence of Internet technologies and e-mail clearly a major contribution to the development of this scene. Access to information and open communication that makes the network (networking) among this community more widely in Indonesia. Bands and new communities popping up to offer many styles of music that is more diverse. Trend indie labels vying release local bands are also encouraging, at least this is the effort which is useful documentation of the history of the decades ahead.

What is interesting now is the dominance of the use of idioms `indie 'and not the underground scene to define a non-mainstream music locally. Had occurred klasikmengenai polemics and debate the term `indie or underground 'is in the ground water. Some people view the term `underground 'increasingly biased by the fact became bolder and more underground bands that` sell-out', whether it was contracted major labels, change the style of music for the sake of business or sold the album to sell tens of thousands of copies. While some prefer to use the idiom of indie as more `elastic 'and for example, more friendly to the bands that do not play a style of extreme music. Although impressed more compromise, the term indie was later also increasingly being used by the national media, much
left the orthodox term `underground 'it said.

Amid the debate he called indie / underground, major label or indie label, hundreds of new born band, dozens of noisy indie label released the album in full, thousands distro / clothing shop opened in Indonesia. Infrastructure scene non-mainstream music is also becoming established from day to day. They seemed not to care anymore with the polarization-major indie labels that do not substantially more. Playing music as free as possible while having fun is more a `chief 'today.

...And the history that has not ended...
