Sold mine during confinement and bought some very interesting stuff instead. The band Victim had an album of the same name which is way better

The best tunes are linked on the first page of this thread, though if you hate Epic Metal, best avoid them..

Just a little test-bump to see that the new board-version is working

Great stuf, indeed. Reminds me of some cool (softer) eastern stuff like Missio. Thanx.

Continuing w/ documenting the Malaysian scene (and keeping an old promise to complete the All-Metal part of the Compilopedia) these 3 Malay HM comps was recently added to the collection, so here's the pages:

Actually, I would really appreciate PICTURE PROOF that there's more Malay/Singapore Metal comps available on vinyl than these 9..

The Malay part of the review-archive is still only scratching the surface of what was actually released on vinyl in the 80's and early 90's, so here's another one of the few must-buys:

JUNCTION - Petualang LP 1990 review

Proof that I'm not just be hypin':

I'm feeling inspired and creative today, so here's yet another really great Malaysian Metal album-review:

LIPANBARA - Harimau LP 1991 review

I really am curious to hear what people think of this one, or at the very least the mesmerizing opening track. Check it -->

I gave the first track a listen & whilst the singing & playing were good the horrible 80s synth sounds & reverb-swamped drums detracted greatly from my enjoyment of what the rest of the band were doing. The production style fitted better on the more commercial third song 'Hidup Biar Berjasa'. The singer's got a really interesting voice, lots of range & tonal variation and he shows it all off to good effect on that track.
Interesting certainly, but probably not something i'll go back to, unlike that Autobus album you just posted. Many thanks for sharing that, it grabbed me straight away & i'm looking forward to giving it some proper attention over the weekend.

Playing now. Was thinking it was quite good, but too sickly sweet to be really good, & then "Tahyul" happened. Excellent!

I totally hear what you mean about the synths and mixing. Thing is, I kinda like that "Rage For Order"-sound on rare occations - at least on more semi-progressive/original stuff...
Cool to hear you enjoyed AUTOBUS too! Def' more universal Classic HM-appeal on that one..

Oh doG yezz the riffing in that song... Sooo Epic, sooo Tyrant.... Pity the minor vocal doodoo's though.
My 2 fave parts of that record is still the chorus in "Syahid" - Goosebumps-Metal at its absolute peak.
...and the high-school-stupid-simple lead riff in "Pesta Rock" - Ultra-unoriginal generic perfection!
