This time Busuk Webzine got a chance to do an interview with JAGAL
brutal death metal band from Surabaya, East Java. The band was long engaged in
this underground world, formed in 2005. And in 2006 they had recorded ‘Monster
Of Insanity’ and released in 2007, precisely in February under the No Label
Records (Surabaya). And this is the debut of their first album in which the
vocal position at that time was still using the Additional. In March 2007 they
get fixed vocalist and then they recorded two songs in July 2008. And the
material is packaged in the form of Ep ‘Terpuruk Sesal’ published by Henceforth
Records in September 2008. In May 2009, JAGAL re-entered the studio and
recorded all new material for the second album. Before the release of the
second album, No Label Records re-released their first album in December
2009 with a fresh packaging.
January 2010, JAGAL reunite with No Label Records to release
second album. April 2010 Dangerous Toys was launched by No
Label Records and had the full support of Sevared Records as an official
distribution in the United State of America.

JY : Hello Endro, how
are you? Thank you very much for your time and are willing to do an interview
with Busuk webzine. Kieran James (Australia) and Me have shared on this blog.
Well, is there any activity in the current JAGAL camp?
END : Hallo.... This time we again train a new vocalist for the delayed
material for the 3rd album.
JY : 'Dangerous Toys' is your second album, released in 2010, which contains 9 songs. What response did you get from the release of the last album? Is there a bad review / comment?
JY : 'Dangerous Toys' is your second album, released in 2010, which contains 9 songs. What response did you get from the release of the last album? Is there a bad review / comment?
END : hehehe...
all kinds, some say our music progressed
from previous albums and there is also say a bad sound, due to lack of funding....hehehe
JY : All albums are
spewed by JAGAL released under the banner of 'No Label Records'. How can you be
so keen to do a deal with No Label Records?
END : actually the
second album would be released by Rottrevore and ESP but they are still a have
many list bands, then we are back to No Labels, suggests solidity between bands
and Surabaya labels.
JY : Is your
collaboration with No Label Records was limited only to album release or? What
about the problems show / tour of the JAGAL, whether they would also support
this?
END : In essence it is
just a release, but the No Labels is also helped for us as the second album in
the license by SEVARED RECORDS making our band known to many metal lovers both
inside and outside the country. we do the tour without
label interference....hehehe
JY : Have you ever
planned to make a deal with the label / record from abroad as Sevared Records,
Uniqueleader Records, or other?
END : Hmmm.... we ever try to enter in the label Mexico
before (sorry forgot his name) but we are not interested because they are more
profitable divisions and if released outside records definitely we must wait long
because they have a band list very much.
JY : Where JAGAL usually
recording on every album ? Is it for your next album will do in the same studio?
END : First we take at
NADA MUSIKA than second album at MUSICAL and for the next we back recording at
NADA MUSIKA because our soundman had a work there and He knows exactly what our
music character.
JY : what Equipments/Gears
you usually wear at the time of recording in the studio ? Did equipments /
gears are the same as those you use when show / tour?
END : Yes... we still love the character of a pure
street music without a lot of makeup or a hoax. (
Hmmm …. ???? – red )
JY : In every album
title of JAGAL, The album's title is a title song in every album. Like a first
album ‘Monster of Insanity’ located on the first track, and in the album
‘Dangerous Toys’ located on the second song. Why do you do it? Is there
something very special?
END : Hehehe....
nobody special just a coincidence these
songs favored by our.
JY : what are The lyrics
of the song tells about? Where did you get the inspiration? Is that inspiration
comes from films, books or other things?
END : Various themes
ranging from hatred, war, religion and social issues, and most of us take from
the film and the life that is around us.
JY : Who is responsible
for in terms of song writing and arranging music in JAGAL ? Are all personnel
involved?
END : Yes all involved.
JY : Artwork on every
album of the JAGAL is remarkable. Who is the artist who made the artwork? Are you satisfied with the results?
END : The first of the
label and the second is Nando order, We satisfied for second as more pervasive
theme.
JY : Regarding the sound
from JAGAL, Is there a difference from previous albums? And how you describe JAGAL
to the terms of music?
END : For characters
sound different because we always customize adjust with vocals charachter to
sound more palatable to the ear. We still play the old
school rhythms with a faster rhythm.
JY : What bands that influence your music ? Did JAGAL have a characteristic / distinctive music style rather than copying from other bands?
JY : What bands that influence your music ? Did JAGAL have a characteristic / distinctive music style rather than copying from other bands?
END : Metal music was
born from the west so we certainly would influenced by MEGADETH, METALLICA,
PANTERA, CANNIBAL CORPSE, SUFFOCATION and DYING FETUS. Because we used to play
their songs.
JY : What do you think about
the 'free download' that are abundant in internet sites. Examples free download
band albums. Lots of us get it and we easily download any album from such bands.
Does it really bother you or? Although what they did was intended to promote.
END : Well how....
because it is a tradition, but it is very
detrimental for the true metal lovers surely prefer to buy because they create
a collection. So let, as long as not abused and traded
hijacked....hehehehe
JY : Still about ‘free
download’. As we know, that your efforts to produce a masterpiece is not easy, need
a lot of sacrifices such as time, money and other things. But what do you
result expect, not in accordance with your effort before. Did you ever see the
album you've put on their site ‘free download’. But besides that, you see a lot
of 'good reviews / comment' on your album of the visitor on these sites. How do
you solve this problem? Do you keep it?
END : During the
virtual world that there is a 'free download' will always be there and it will
not be stopped, different from the past that there is no internet and CD, all
in the form of cassette... we
were forced to just give whatever happens and all returned to their respective
individual.
JY : What do you think
about the metal scene in Surabaya today? What bands can you recommend to us?
END : Surabaya bands
growing rapidly, because I am a death metal then I'm watching similar music as WAFAT,
CLIMAXETH, RAZORBLADES TERROR, DESCANE andLAST FROM MYTH FEAR.
JY : Is there are often
obstacles to make metal event in your city, such as the police?
END : Certainly ...
the example in Surabaya when there a football match, event participants had to
succumb because officers were deployed in anticipation of the football
supporters.
JY : What the other
activities beside play with your band? How do you divide time between training
and employment?
END : To be sure we
are working as some already married, you know yourself that the play Death
Metal in Indonesia can’t be made for livelihood.....hehehehe
for time…. we are looking for a spare though not clash with other activities.
for time…. we are looking for a spare though not clash with other activities.
JY : Until now a lot of
foreign bands performing in Indonesia, such as Disgorge (USA), Napalm Death,
Suffocation, Dying Fetus, Misery Index, and etc. And I think personally, it
proves that Indonesia is their biggest target for Asian countries. And besides
that, they also know that in Indonesia a lot of these crazy music lovers. What
do you think about this?
END : Yup... it is true that Indonesia is one of the
biggest metal music lovers in the world and their arrival could make a lesson
for Indonesian bands to find out how the band was playing well both in terms of
live performance, scale and sound.
JY : Can you mention a
10 'the sickest album' from local bands? Give the reason?
END : hahahaha....i
just mention the band, I think the albums
from SIKSA KUBUR, JASAD, DEATH VOMIT, MORBID DUST, TENGKORAK, ASPHYXIATE,
WAFAT, TRAUMA, KILLHARMONIC and JAGAL.... because I know they work really hard for work ranging from
zero up to date and do not instantly, those bands are consistent with what is
done so that the result works beautifully.
JY : What are your plans
for the future of JAGAL? Are you going to release a new album in 2012 and
roughly when the new album will be spewed?
END : Insya Allah This
year we spend on the album even though we don’t know what month it is still in
the process.
JY : Thank you so much for answering all of our questions and success is always to JAGAL. Are there any last message to BUSUK Webzine and other readers?
