Oh, good old death metal…! In 2017 Twin Force Kill from Jakarta released their first and only promo. Fast forward 4 years later. February 2021, Javanese label Maxima Music Pro released their debut full-length. Can I afford to ignore it? Nope. When I’ve written “old ” death metal, it’s not totally true, you can clearly hear the newer influences in the music too, and guys are clearly influenced by USDM and BDM made American way.…

Hailing from Yogyakarta, stoner/doom duo Temaram was recommended to me by Slinky Bones (The Melting Minds) in the interview I’ve done with him. And I have to say they surprised me with their single and music video to their latest song “Oilslamic State”, so it should come as no surprise that I am eagerly having a look at their discography.
