| Label: | Warnada | #: | WA 1525 | Country: | Malaysia |
| Info: | Another Malay-comp without a proper sleeve - just the tape-edition cover glued to the front and back. LIPANBARA and WARISAN ROCKERS followed up with some full-length CDs in the 90's but none of these songs were reprised there. The other 3 bands seem exclusive to this release. Reissued on CD in 2016. | ||||

Tracklist side A:
- LIPANBARA - Ibu Pertiwi
A peculiar but strong opener that displays a little bit of everything, from heavy, stomping Anvil-steel to Maiden-harmonies and a Speed Metal break.
The first ballad of the album is more semi- than schmallad, as in a semi-epic semi-ballad with good proper song-(semi)qualities..- DESTINASI - Semangatku
Powerful melodic Metal w/ a NWOBHM-vibe. The keys lends a cozy Dawnwatcher-feel to it.
Tearjerker ballad, but there's guitars lurking inside it. Think Scorpions.- WARISAN ROCKERS - Perwira Bangsa
Faster Power'ish Metal with great guitar harmonies a la Aria/Maiden (..or Rockers, if you will) and excellent chorus.
Tracklist side B:
- WARISAN ROCKERS - Kehilangan
By Malay-ballad standards this is definitely an over-par effort. The synth-choirs in the chorus does the trick. - SURIA - Iktbar Dari-Syuhada
Call me weird, but I actually think the odd, childlike vocals enhances this simple Power Metal tune into something very exotic, unique and more than merely 'endearing'.
Ballad #4. So anonymous that could be its title.- KAFILAH - Dunia Kemusnahan
Fast'n'mean, chugging Steel that's a bit too Priest'y to be labeled Thrash-light. Another Win for Malaysian Metal, rubbing shoulders with Saxo, style- as well as qualitywise.
Ballad #5 (see ballad #4).
