Just a little test-bump to see that the new board-version is working
Re: Malaysia/Singapore Metal (...and vinyl)
Great stuf, indeed. Reminds me of some cool (softer) eastern stuff like Missio. Thanx.DaN wrote: ↑Fri Oct 29, 2021 9:44 pm Another review:

Re: Malaysia/Singapore Metal (...and vinyl)
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..

Re: Malaysia/Singapore Metal (...and vinyl)
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:

Re: Malaysia/Singapore Metal (...and vinyl)
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 -->

Re: Malaysia/Singapore Metal (...and vinyl)
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.DaN wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 10:27 pm I'm feeling inspired and creative today, so here's yet another really great Malaysian Metal album-review:

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!

Oh doG yezz the riffing in that song... Sooo Epic, sooo Tyrant.... Pity the minor vocal doodoo's though.Ernest Thesiger wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 8:52 amPlaying now. Was thinking it was quite good, but too sickly sweet to be really good, & then "Tahyul" happened. Excellent!
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!
