Tengkorak

The music of this Jakarta-based band is a full-frontal assault on the senses while the lyrics and song titles never fall short of agitated provocation. With titles like Pemimpin Gila (Crazed Leaders), Official Lies and Dying Poor, lead singer Ombat rails against the many injustices of Indonesian society – a trait perhaps compounded by his day job as a lawyer. Deep beneath the unintelligible growls lie a healthy dose of skepticism, disbelief and anger. With veteran grindcore outfit Napalm Death as one of their main influences, it is no surprise that TENGKORAK (or Skull) has attracted a fanatical following of young extreme metal fans that hang on every word of this charismatic frontman. After 13 years in the business, the band has stretched the duration of its songs from 30 second bursts of rage to three-minutes of guitar fury and growling but the intensity remains the same. “Darurat Sipil” (or Civil Emergency), their last full-length release in 2002, is a powerful commentary on the hypocrisy of the status quo and a reminder that some of today’s youth is ready to fight back.
