CD REVIEWS : EXPENDIENCY ‘DEMO 2013’


EXPENDIENCY ‘DEMO 2013’
Released by : Self Release/Independent

Tracklist :
1. Penis Decapitated Madness   02.52

Band Members :
Aditiya Ramdhan (Guitar and drum programming)
Rizki Darmawan (Vocal)

Terima kasih banyak untuk Aditiya dari Expendiency atas kiriman Demo 2013 nya ke Busuk Webzine. Expendiency merupakan band asal Kota Cibinong-Bogor yang terbentuk sekitar tahun 2008. Namun band ini sempat mengalami masalah personil dan kini mereka hanya tinggal berdua saja. Beberapa minggu yang lalu mereka telah mengeluarkan Demo 2013 yang berisikan 1 lagu yang berjudul ‘Penis Decapitated Madness’ yang memakan durasi sekitar 02.52. Pada demo ini, sepertinya mereka memainkan konsep yang berbeda dengan konsep mereka yang dulu, kini mereka mencoba untuk memainkan brutal death metal style yang terpengaruh dengan band-band USA.  Di demo ini jelas mereka menggunakan drum programming yang tidak bisa dipungkiri lagi hasilnya. Guitar riffs nya lumayan catchy tapi masih perlu banyak variasi lagi dan disini juga sound gitarnya sangat tipis....perlu dipoles lagi agar bisa mendapatkan heavy sound seperti yang dilakukan oleh band- band BDM lainnya. Musik yang mereka sungguhkan sangat fast namun disana juga terdapat beberapa mid tempo dan groovy parts. Disini saya kurang suka banget dengan karakter vocal yang terdengar seperti ‘quik quik’.... tapi itu semua tergantung kebutuhan dari tiap band. No lyric pada demo mereka, so i dont know title lagu yang mereka sungguhkan menceritakan tentang apa. Namun sayangnya hasil recording ini juga not very clearly, sepertinya mereka sudah sangat tidak sabar dan terlalu buru-buru untuk mempromosikannya walaupun ini bisa dikatakan raw recording. Mestinya tidak perlu terlalu buru-buru dalam mempromosikan demo atau promo cd.... jikalau hasilnya masih kurang memuaskan, kita masih ada punya watu dan kesempatan untuk memperbaikinya lagi. Sabar dan diteliti kembali....apakah ada kekurangannya atau hal lainnya, jadi media zine dapat memberikan hasil yang terbaik juga untuk mengomentari demo atau promo cd tersebut dan jika ada label/records, mereka bisa antusias dan langsung mengontak si band untuk melakukan deal untuk next planning nya. Mumpung ini juga masih merupakan demo, masih ada banyak waktu dan kesempatan yang harus benar-benar mereka benahi dan persiapkan sebelum memuntahkan debut albumnya nanti. Tetap semangat guys.....don’t ever give up...|m/.
