Memoir Langsuyr III

When this all started?

It was in 1991, when I was in MRSM Muar, a boarding school when I feel like starting a band.

I was introduce with the underground Metal scene a year before. I was too young at that time (14 years old). In 1991, I was already 16. I thought I can now handle a band.

What's the concept? And with that question, what is going to be the band's name? Should the concept comes first or the name? Both are inter-related.

But I already know what type of music that I want to play. It should be Death Metal. Not brutal but more like Death (the band) and some Swedish DM influences of Unleashed, At The Gates with some thrash metal influence. I cannot play fast like Cannibal Corpse, besides I don't really like them at that time.

At the same time, I was very attracted to the occult subject. One of the reason was that, I can write anything I like. I mean, if I write about Pontianak or Polong, was there anyone going to check on the facts? There were no book written on that particular subject except from The Malay Magic by Skeat which I am sure not many people are aware of.
