As it’s usually the case, I’ve been searching high and low for some interesting bands to cover when I’d found The Melting Minds, an unusual and very interesting esemble from Wonosari. That’s in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, for those not familiar with Indonesia (which is, basically, my case). Their second single “Possessing the Witch” has instantly stopped me in my tracks, and there was no doubt I’d needed to get in touch with them…

Browsing the internet for interesting Indonesian music, I’ve stumbled upon the video of “Burnin’ Blood, Cold-Cold Ground” by for me an absolutely unknown person by the name of Adrian Adioetomo. The music and the video have really caught my interest and it hasn’t taken long for me to get in touch with Adrian and our conversations and co-operation had resulted in the review of his latest album “Violent Love, Gentle Kill” (a.k.a. “The Grey Album”)…
