as i lay dying
Blending hardcore-Metal and
Grindcore, As I Lay Dying started
when long time friends, vocalist
Tim Lambesis and guitarist Evan
White met drummer Jordan
Mancino in San Diego, California
USA, in February 2001.
Within months the three hit the
studio to record "Beneath The
Encasing Of Ashes"; the album,
issued on Pluto Records in June
2001, became the top selling
label's release.
Ready to move forward, As I Lay
Dying first recorded some new
songs for a split CD and in
February of 2003 they signed
with Metal Blade Records; the
band's sophomore full-length
disc, "Frail Words Collapse",
arrived in July that same year, it
climbed into the top 30 of the
Billboard's Independent Albums
chart and went on to be a label
best-seller, surpassing 210,000
units sold.
After Evan White's departure,
Lambesis and Mancino drastically
revised the line-up of the band,
adding two guitarists, Nick Hipa
and Phil Sgrosso and a bass
player, Clint Norris.
In June 2005 the quintet released
"Shadows Are Security" which
further spotlighted As I Lay Dying
as one of most influential bands
to break out of the underground
Metal scene. Their high-profile,
marathon tour cycle found the
band as one of the featured
attractions on the Ozzfest 2005
side stage, then as part of the
second annual Taste Of Chaos
trek in winter 2006 along with
Deftones and Thrice; their third
album shot to #1 on the U.S.
Top Independent chart and also
peaked at #35 on The Billboard
200.
In August 2007 As I Lay Dying
issued its fourth album, "An
Ocean Between Us", it was
recorded with new bassist Josh
Gilbert, who replaced Norris who
left to get married and settle
down. The CD achieved a
career-best peak of #8 on The
Billboard 200.
The metalcore quintet have set a
May 11, 2010, North American
release date for their next
record, "The Powerless Rise".
The disc includes the single
"Beyond Our Suffering".

Band biography
Already seen as veterans of the
European metal-core scene,
Caliban have become one of the
most important and influential
bands of that genre within just a
few years. Formed in 1997, in
Germany’s Ruhr region, Caliban
released their self-titled EP in the
summer of 1998 on Lifeforce
Records. Countless tours across
Europe, including support gigs
for bands like Morning Again,
Earth Crisis and Cro-Mags,
strengthened their reputation
and earned them an ever-
increasing army of fans. Their
full-length debut, A Small Boy
And A Grey Heaven (1999),
opened the door to fame and
became a European metal-core
classic. Even then, Caliban knew
how to combine Slayer-esque,
precise metal guitars with an
emotional hardcore delivery,
thereby leaving their own distinct
mark on that sound. Although
initially seen as mix of Slayer,
Poison the Well and Hatebreed
by the critics, Caliban didn ’t jump
on the metal-core bandwagon
just recently; rather, they led the
way representing that genre at
home and internationally. The
following split EP with their
friends from Heaven Shall Burn
was to become another metal-
core classic. When the band's
second album, Vent, came out in
April 2001 the band was invited
to play at the famous Beast Feast
2001 in Yokohama together with
Slayer, Pantera, Machine Head,
Biohazard and Morbid Angel.
After playing in Japan, Caliban
began their onslaught on U.S.
soil with A Life Once Lost and
The Red Chord in the summer of
2002 and an appearance at the
famous Hellfest in New York.
With their third album, Shadow
Hearts, it was clear Caliban
transcended their
contemporaries by producing a
new style of post-modern,
destructive metal-core with an
unparalleled sense of heaviness
and musicianship. Most recently,
Caliban entered “The Room”
studios in Gothenburg, Sweden
to record their fourth album,
The Opposite From Within, which
was produced by In Flames front
man Anders Friden and mixed
and mastered by Andy Sneap
(e.g. Machine Head, Killswitch
Engage, Arch Enemy). The 12-
song outing shows the band
taking their style even further
with crushing breakdowns, a
keen sense of melody and
dedication to playing with utter
ferocity.

KOPLO
Dangdut koplo adalah musik
dangdut modern yang
dimainkan sebuah grup musik
dangdut atau OM (orkes
melayu) di atas sebuah
panggung dengan biduanita
memiliki suara dan goyangan ”
maut “ .
Namun terkadang
busana minim & sensualitas
goyangan mengalahkan kualitas
suara. Perang sawer alias bagi
bagi uang dari penonton pada
sang penyanyi sudah menjadi
ritual dan ciri khas
pertunjukan / show dangdut
koplo.
Karena pertunjukan di lokasi
terbuka cukup sering terlihat
anak – anak kecil belum cukup
umur menonton sangat dekat
dengan lokasi panggung.
Mereka entah paham atau tidak
ikut larut menikmati tarian erotis
sang vokalis. Jelas bukan hal
baik untuk perkembangan
mental sang bocah. Atau
mungkin kelak mereka juga
akan menjadi penerus hiburan
musik rakyat ini?
Wilayah pesisir pantai utara Jawa
banyak memiliki grup OM
dengan penyanyi bertalenta.
Beberapa OM yang cukup
kondang antara lain GSF,
Arjuna, Ken Arok, Rollysta,
Bram, Monata, Palapa, Rhenata,
Arsita, Sanjaya dan Sera. Hal ini
wajar karena masyarakat
pantura jika ada hajatan lebih
senang mengundang grup
dangdut ( minimal organ
tunggal ) daripada pagelaran
macam wayang kulit seperti
masyarakat di pesisir selatan
maupun tengah.
Beberapa ex biduanita /
penyanyi dangdut koplo yang
sudah populer antara lain Inul
Daratista, Dewi Perssik serta
grup sensasional Trio Macan.
Banyak penyanyi dangdut ini
yang mencoba peruntungan
melalui pentas KDI seperti Suci.
Pada umumnya penyanyi
dangdut asal daerah dengan
joged sexy jebolan dangdut
koplo. Vcd dangdut koplo
biasanya hasil dokumentasi
pementasan dalam acara seperti
pernikahan, khitanan, hingga
Tujuhbelas Agustusan maupun
kampanye.
keroncong
Keroncong merupakan nama
dari instrumen musik sejenis
ukulele dan juga sebagai nama
dari jenis musik khas Indonesia
yang menggunakan instrumen
musik keroncong, flute, dan
seorang penyanyi wanita.
Asal-usul
Akar keroncong berasal dari
sejenis musik Portugis yang
dikenal sebagai fado yang
diperkenalkan oleh para pelaut
dan budak kapal niaga bangsa
itu sejak abad ke-16 ke
Nusantara. Dari daratan India
(Goa) masuklah musik ini
pertama kali di Malaka dan
kemudian dimainkan oleh para
budak dari Maluku. Melemahnya
pengaruh Portugis pada abad
ke-17 di Nusantara tidak dengan
serta-merta berarti hilang pula
musik ini. Bentuk awal musik ini
disebut moresco (sebuah tarian
asal Spanyol, seperti polka agak
lamban ritmenya), di mana salah
satu lagu oleh Kusbini disusun
kembali kini dikenal dengan
nama Kr. Muritsku, yang diiringi
oleh alat musik dawai.
Musik
keroncong yang berasal dari
Tugu disebut keroncong Tugu.
Dalam perkembangannya,
masuk sejumlah unsur tradisional
Nusantara, seperti penggunaan
seruling serta beberapa
komponen gamelan. Pada sekitar
abad ke-19 bentuk musik
campuran ini sudah populer di
banyak tempat di Nusantara,
bahkan hingga ke Semenanjung
Malaya[1]. Masa keemasan ini
berlanjut hingga sekitar tahun
1960-an, dan kemudian
meredup akibat masuknya
gelombang musik populer (musik
rock yang berkembang sejak
1950, dan berjayanya musik
Beatle dan sejenisnya sejak tahun
1961 hingga sekarang). Meskipun
demikian, musik keroncong
masih tetap dimainkan dan
dinikmati oleh berbagai lapisan
masyarakat di Indonesia dan
Malaysia hingga sekarang.
Alat-alat musik
Dalam bentuknya yang paling
awal, moresco diiringi oleh musik
dawai, seperti biola, ukulele,
serta selo. Perkusi juga kadang-
kadang dipakai. Set orkes
semacam ini masih dipakai oleh
keroncong Tugu, bentuk
keroncong yang masih
dimainkan oleh komunitas
keturunan budak Portugis dari
Ambon yang tinggal di Kampung
Tugu, Jakarta Utara, yang
kemudian berkembang ke arah
selatan di Kemayoran dan
Gambir oleh orang Betawi
berbaur dengan musik Tanjidor
(tahun 1880-1920).
Tahun
1920-1960 pusat perkembangan
pindah ke Solo, dan beradaptasi
dengan irama yang lebih lambat
sesuai sifat orang Jawa.
Pem-"pribumi"-an keroncong
menjadikannya seni campuran,
dengan alat-alat musik seperti
sitar India
rebab
suling bambu
gendang, kenong, dan saron
sebagai satu set gamelan
gong.
Saat ini, alat musik yang dipakai
dalam orkes keroncong
mencakup
ukulele cuk, berdawai 3
(nilon), urutan nadanya
adalah G, B dan E; sebagai
alat musik utama yang
menyuarakan crong - crong
sehingga disebut keroncong
(ditemukan tahun 1879 di
Hawai, dan merupakan awal
tonggak mulainya musik
keroncong)
ukulele cak, berdawai 4 (baja),
urutan nadanya A, D, Fis, dan
B. Jadi ketika alat musik
lainnya memainkan tangga
nada C, cak bermain pada
tangga nada F (dikenal
dengan sebutan in F);
gitar akustik sebagai gitar
melodi, dimainkan dengan
gaya kontrapuntis (anti
melodi);
biola (menggantikan Rebab);
flut (mengantikan Suling
Bambu);
selo; betot menggantikan
kendang
kontrabas (menggantikan
Gong)[2]
Penjaga irama dipegang oleh
ukulele dan bas. Gitar yang
kontrapuntis dan selo yang ritmis
mengatur peralihan akord. Biola
berfungsi sebagai penuntun
melodi, sekaligus hiasan/
ornamen bawah. Flut mengisi
hiasan atas, yang melayang-
layang mengisi ruang melodi
yang kosong.
Bentuk keroncong yang
dicampur dengan musik populer
sekarang menggunakan organ
tunggal serta synthesizer untuk
mengiringi lagu keroncong (di
pentas pesta organ tunggal yang
serba bisa main keroncong,
dangdut, rock, polka, mars).
Jenis keroncong
Musik keroncong lebih condong
pada progresi akord dan jenis
alat yang digunakan. Sejak
pertengahan abad ke-20 telah
dikenal paling tidak tiga macam
keroncong, yang dapat dikenali
dari pola progresi akordnya. Bagi
pemusik yang sudah memahami
alurnya, mengiringi lagu-lagu
keroncong sebenarnya tidaklah
susah, sebab cukup
menyesuaikan pola yang
berlaku. Pengembangan
dilakukan dengan menjaga
konsistensi pola tersebut. Selain
itu, terdapat pula bentuk-bentuk
campuran serta adaptasi.
Perkembangan keroncong
masa kini
Setelah mengalami evolusi yang
panjang sejak kedatangan orang
Portugis di Indonesia (1522) dan
pemukiman para budak di
daerah Kampung Tugu tahun
1661 [3], dan ini merupakan
masa evolusi awal musik
keroncong yang panjang
(1661-1880) , hampir dua abad
lamanya, namun belum
memperlihatkan identitas
keroncong yang sebenarnya
dengan suara crong-crong-
crong, sehingga boleh dikatakan
musik keroncong belum lahir
tahun 1661-1880 .
Dan akhirnya musik keroncong
mengalami masa evolusi
pendek terakhir sejak tahun
1880 hingga kini , dengan tiga
tahap perkembangan terakhir
yang sudah berlangsung dan
satu perkiraan perkembangan
baru (keroncong millenium).
Tonggak awal adalah pada
tahun 1879 [4], di saat
penemuan ukulele di Hawai [5]
yang segera menjadi alat musik
utama dalam keroncong (suara
ukulele: crong-crong-crong),
sedangkan awal keroncong
millenium sudah ada tanda-
tandanya, namun belum
berkembang (Bondan Prakoso).
Empat tahap masa
perkembangan tersebut adalah
[6]
(a) Masa stambul (1880-1920),
(b) Masa keroncong abadi
(1920-1960), dan
(c) Masa keroncong modern
(1960-2000), serta
(d) Masa keroncong millenium
(2000-kini)
Masa stambul (1880-1920)
Ukulele ditemukan pada tahun
1879 di Hawaii, sehingga
diperkirakan pada tahun
berikutnya Keroncong baru
menjelma pada tahun 1880, di
daerah Tugu kemudian
menyebar ke selatan daerah
Kemayoran dan Gambir (lihat
ada lagu Kemayoran dan Pasar
Gambir, sekitar tahun 1913).
Komedie Stamboel 1891-1903
lahir di Kota Pelabuhan
Surabaya tahun 1891, berupa
Pentas Gaya Instanbul, yang
mengadakan pertunjukan keliling
di Hindia Belanda, Singapura,
dan Malaya lewat jalur kereta
api maupun kapal api. Pada
umumnya pertunjukan meliputi
Cerita 1001 Malam (Arab) dan
Cerita Eropa (Opera maupun
Rakyat), termasuk Hikayat India
dan Persia. Sebagai selingan,
antar adegan maupun
pembukaan, diperdengarkan
musik mars, polka, gambus, dan
keroncong. Khusus musik
keroncong dikenal pada waktu
itu Stambul I, Stambul II, dan
Stambull III.
Pada waktu itu lagu Stambul
berirama cepat (sekitar meter
120 untuk satu ketuk
seperempat nada), di mana
Gesang menyebut sebagai
Keroncong Cepat, dan berbaur
dengan Tanjidor yang asli Betawi.
Pada masa ini dikenal para musisi
Indo, dan pemain biola
legendaris adalah M. Sagi
(perhatikan rekaman Idris Sardi
main biola lagu Stambul II Jali-jali
berdasarkan aransemen dari M.
Sagi). Seperti diketahui bahwa
panjang lagu stambul adalah 16
birama, yang terdiri atas:
Stambul I:
Lagu ini misalnya Terang Bulan,
Potong Padi, Nina Bobo,
Sarinande, O Ina Ni Keke,
Bolelebo, dll. dengan struktur
bentuk A - B - A - B atau A - B -
C - D (16 birama):
|I , , , |, , , , |, , , , |V7, , , |
|, , , , |, , , , |, , , , |I , , , |
|I7, , , |IV, , , |, , V7, |I , , ,
|
|, , , , |V7, , , |, , , , |I , , ,
||
Stambul II:
Lagu ini misalnya Si Jampang,
Jali-Jali, di mana masuk pada
Akord IV sebagai ciri Stambul II
dengan struktur A - B - A - C (16
birama):
|I . . . |. . . . |. . . . |IV, , , |
(tanda . artinya tacet)

|, , , , |, , , , |, , , , |I , , , ||
Stambul III:
Lagu ini misalnya Kemayoran, di
mana mirip dengan Keroncong A
sli sehingga sering salah
diucapkan dengan Kr.
Kemayoran, yang seharusnya
Stambul III Kemayoran, dengan
struktur Prelude - A - Interlude -
B - C (16 birama):
Pr|I , , , |, , , , | Prelude 2

B2|V7, , , |I , , , |
C1|, , , , |, , , , |
C2|V7, , , |I , , , ||
Musiq Losquin Bugis: Dari
periode stambul ini lahir pula di
Makassar bentuk keroncong
khas yang dikenal sebagai musiq
losquin Bugis, misalnya lagu
Ongkona Arumpone yang
dinyanyikan oleh Sukaenah B.
Salamaki. Irama keroncong ini,
tanpa seruling-biola-cello, tapi
dengan melodi guitar yang
kental, mirip seperti gaya Tjoh de
Fretes dari Ambon.
Masa keroncong abadi
(1920-1960)
Pada masa ini panjang lagu telah
berubah menjadi 32 birama,
akibat pengaruh musik pop
Amerika yang melanda lantai
dansa di Hotel2 Indonesia pada
waktu itu, dengan musisi
didominasi dari Filipina (spt
Pablo, Sambayon, dll), dan
berakibat juga lagu pada waktu
itu telah 32 birama juga,
perhatikan lagu Indonesia Raya
(1924) pada waktu itu juga sudah
32 birama. Selanjutnya pusat
perkembangan beralih ke Solo
dan iramanya juga lebih lamban
(sekitar 80 untuk seperempat
nada). Masa ini lahir para musisi
Solo spt Gesang. Lagu
Keroncong Abadi terdiri atas:
Langgam Keroncong:
Bentuk lagu langgam ada dua
versi. Yang pertama A - A - B - A
dengan pengulangan dari bagian
A kedua seperti lagu standar
pop: Verse A - Verse A - Bridge
B - Verse A, panjang 32 birama.
Beda sedikit pada versi kedua,
yakni pengulangannya langsung
pada bagian B. Meski sudah
memiliki bentuk baku, namun
pada perkembangannya irama
ini lebih bebas diekspresikan.
Penyanyi serba bisa Hetty Koes
Endang misalnya, dia sering
merekam lagu-lagu non
keroncong dan langgam
menggunakan irama yang sama,
dan kebanyakan tetap
dinamakan langgam. Alur akord-
nya sebagai berikut:
Verse A | V7 , , , |I , , , | IV ,
V7 , | I , , , | I , , , | V7 , , , |
V7 , , , | I , , , |

Verse A |V7 , , , |I , , , | IV ,
V7 , | I , , , | I , , , | V7 , , , |
V7 , , , | I , , , |
Stambul Keroncong:
Stambul Keroncong berbentuk
(A-B-A-B') x 2 = 16 birama x 2 =
32 birama, merupakan modifikasi
Stambul II yang 16 birama
menjadi 32 birama
(menyesuaikan standar
Keroncong Abadi yang 32
birama). Stambul merupakan
jenis keroncong yang namanya
diambil dari bentuk sandiwara
yang dikenal pada akhir abad
ke-19 hingga paruh awal abad
ke-20 di Indonesia dengan nama
Komedi stambul. Nama
"stambul" diambil dari Istambul
di Turki.
Alur akord Stambul Keroncong
adalah sbb. (tanda - adalah tacet
atau iringan tidak dibunyikan):

Keroncong Asli
Keroncong asli memiliki bentuk
lagu A - B - B'. Lagu terdiri atas
8 baris, 8 baris x 4 birama = 32
birama, di mana dibuka dengan
PRELUDE 4 birama yang
dimainkan secara instrumental,
kemudian disisipi INTERLUDE
standar sebanyak 4 birama yang
dimainkan secara instrumental
juga. Keroncong asli diawali oleh
voorspel atau prelude, atau intro
yang diambil dari baris 7 (B3)
mengarah ke nada/akord awal
lagu, yang dilakukan oleh alat
musik melodi seperti seruling/
flut, biola, atau gitar; dan
tussenspel atau interlude atau
intermezzo di tengah-tengah
setelah modulasi/modulatie/
modulation yang standar untuk
semua keroncong asli: Alur

Kadensa Keroncong Kadensa
adalah suatu rangkaian harmoni
sebagai penutup pada akhir
melodi atau di tengah kalimat,
sehingga bisa menutup
sempurna melodi tersebut atau
setengah menutup (sementara)
melodi tersebut. Pada Masa
Keroncong Abadi dikenal
rangkaian penutup I7-IV-V7-I.
1. Kadensa dengan rangkaian
V7-I disebut sebagai
Kadensa Sempurna,
karena sempurna menutup
rangkaian tersebut dan
terasa berhenti sempurna.
2. Tetapi kalau akord X-V7
menjadi akhir rangaian,
maka disebut Kadensa
Tidak Sempurna atau
Setengah Kadensa,
misalnya rangkaian Super
Tonik - Dominan Septim.
3. Kalau rangkaian harmoni
diakhiri pada X-VI, maka
disebut Kadensa
Terputus, misalnya
Doninan Septim -
Submedian.
4. Dalam rangkaian IV-I
disebut Kadensa Plagal,
mempunyai sifat sendu
seperti kalau kita
mengucap "Amin" dalam
salat.
5. Kadensa Keroncong,
khusus dikembangkan
dalam musik keroncong,
yaitu rangkaian harmoni
I7-IV-V7-I
Gambang Keromong Gambang
Keromong adalah salah satu
gaya keroncong yang
dikembangkan oleh Etnis
Tionghoa (gambang adalah alat
musik bilah kayu seperti
marimba, sedangkan keromong
adalah istilah lain dari kempul)
yang dikembangkan tahun
sekitar 1949 di Jakarta (tanjidor),
namun kemudian berkembang di
Semarang (ingat lagu Gambang
Semarang - Oey Yok Siang).
Sebenarnya Gambang Keromong
yang lahir di Masa Keroncong
Abadi 1920-1960 adalah cikal
bakal Campursari yang lahir
pada Masa Keroncong Modern.
Masa keroncong modern
(1960-2000)
Perkembangan keroncong masih
di daerah Solo dan sekitarnya,
namun muncul berbagai gaya
baru yang berbeda dengan Masa
Keroncong Abadi (termasuk
musisinya), dan merupakan
pembaruan sesuai dengan
lingkungannya.
Langgam Jawa
Bentuk adaptasi keroncong
terhadap tradisi musik gamelan
dikenal sebagai langgam Jawa,
yang berbeda dari langgam yang
dimaksud di sini. Langgam Jawa
memiliki ciri khusus pada
penambahan instrumen antara
lain siter, kendang (bisa diwakili
dengan modifikasi permainan
cello ala kendang), saron, dan
adanya bawa atau suluk berupa
introduksi vokal tanpa instrumen
untuk membuka sebelum irama
dimulai secara utuh. Tahun 1968
Langgam Jawa berkembang
menjadi Campursari.
Umumnya mempunyai struktur
lagu pop yaitu A - A - B - A atau
juga A - B - C - D dangan jumlah
32 birama. Lagu Langgam Jawa
yang terkenal di tahun 1958
adalah ciptaan Anjar Any
(1936-2008): Yen Ing Tawang
Ana Lintang (Tawang dalam
Bahasa Jawa berarti: awang-
awang, langit, dan makna lain
nama suatu desa di Magetan,
Kalau di Langit Ada Bintang).
Langgam Jawa menjadi terkenal
oleh Waljinah yang pernah
sebagai juara tingkat sekolah
SMP di RRI Solo tahun 1958.
Keroncong Beat
Dimulai oleh Yayasan Tetap
Segar pimpinan Rudy Pirngadie,
di Jakarta pada tahun 1959 dan
bisa mengiringi lagu barat pop
(mau melangkah lebih bersifat
universal). Pada waktu itu Idris
Sardi ikut tur ke New York
World's Fair Amerika Serikat
dengan biola tahun 1964 dengan
maksud mau memperkenalkan
lagu pop barat (I left my heart in
San Fransico, pada waktu itu
tahun 1964 lagu ini merupakan
salah satu hit di dunia) dengan
iringan keroncong beat, namun
dia kena denda melanggar hak
cipta akibat tanpa izin.
Dengan Keroncong Beat maka
berbagai lagu (bukan dengan
rangkaian harmoni keroncong,
termsuk kunci Minor) dapat
dinyanyikan seperti La Paloma,
Monalisa, Widuri, Mawar
Berduri, dll.
Campur Sari
Di Gunung Kidul (DI Yogyakarta)
pada tahun 1968 Manthous
memperkenalkan gabungan alat
gamelan dan musik keroncong,
yang kemudian dikenal sebagai
Campursari. Kini daerah Solo,
Sragen, Ngawi, dan sekitarnya,
terkenal sebagai pusat para artis
musik campursari. Bahkan Bupati
Sukoharjo ikut meramaikan
bursa campursari.
Keroncong Koes-Plus
Koes Plus dikenal sebagai perintis
musik rock di Indonesia, pada
sekitar tahun 1974 juga berjasa
dalam musik keroncong yang
rock. Keroncong Pertemuan
adalah Keroncong Koes Plus
dengan struktur bentuk
campuran (dalam bahasa
Belanda disebut Meng-vorm
atau Inggris Combine form)
antara Stambul II dan langgam
Keroncong.
Seandainya band rock Indonesia
bisa mengikuti jejak Koes-Plus
untuk melestarikan budaya
sendiri seperti keroncong, maka
betapa indah musik rock
Indonesia dapat ngetop dengan
irama kampung halaman, berarti
musik keroncong jangan mati
(ucapan Gesang).
Mudah-
mudahan Mbah, generasi muda
Indonesia dapat melanjutkan
musik keroncong .
Keroncong Dangdut (Congdut)
Keroncong dangdut (Congdut)
adalah jawaban atas derasnya
pengaruh musik dangdut dalam
musik populer di Indonesia sejak
1980-an. Seiring dengan
menguatnya campur sari di
pentas musik populer etnis Jawa,
sejumlah musisi, konon dimulai
dari Surakarta, memasukkan
unsur beat dangdut ke dalam
lagu-lagu langgam Jawa klasik
maupun baru. Didi Kempot
adalah tokoh utama gerakan
pembaruan ini. Lagu-lagu yang
terkenal antara lain Stasiun
Balapan, Sewu Kuto.
Masa keroncong millenium
(2000-kini)
Walaupun musik keroncong di
era millenium (tahun 2000-an)
belum menjadi bagian dari
industri musik pop Indonesia,
tetapi beberapa pihak masih
mengapresiasi musik keroncong.
Kelompok musik "Keroncong
Merah Putih"[rujukan?],
kelompok keroncong berbasis
Bandung masih cukup aktif
melakukan pertunjukan. Selain
itu, Bondan Prakoso dan
grupnya Bondan Prakoso & Fade
2 Black, menciptakan komposisi
berjudul "Keroncong Bondol"
yang berhasil memadukan musik
gaya rap dengan musik latar
belakang irama keroncong.
Tokoh keroncong
Salah satu tokoh Indonesia yang
memiliki kontribusi cukup besar
dalam membesarkan musik
keroncong adalah bapak
Gesang. Lelaki asal kota
Surakarta (Solo) ini bahkan
mendapatkan santunan setiap
tahun dari pemerintah Jepang
karena berhasil
memperkenalkan musik
keroncong di sana. Salah satu
lagunya yang paling terkenal
adalah Bengawan Solo. Lantaran
pengabdiannya itulah, oleh
Gesang dijuluki "Buaya
Keroncong" oleh insan
keroncong Indonesia, sebutan
untuk pakar musik keroncong.
Gesang menyebut irama
keroncong pada MASA
STAMBUL (1880-1920), yang
berkembang di Jakarta (Tugu ,
Kemayoran, dan Gambir) sebagai
Keroncong Cepat; sedangkan
setelah pusat perkembangan
pindah ke Solo (MASA
KERONCONG ABADI: 1920-1960)
iramanya menjadi lebih lambat.
Di sisi lain nama Anjar Any (Solo,
pencipta Langgam Jawa lebih
dari 2000 lagu yang meninggal
tahun 2008) juga mempunyai
andil dalam keroncong untuk
Langgam Jawa beserta Waljinah
(Solo), sedangkan R. Pirngadie
(Jakarta) untuk Keroncong Beat,
Manthous (Gunung Kidul,
Yogyakarta) untuk Campursari
dan Koe Plus (Solo/Jakarta)
untuk Keroncobg Rock, serta
Didi Kempot (Ngawi) untuk
Congdut.
Trivia
Asal muasal sebutan "Buaya
Keroncong" berkisar pada
lagu ciptaannya, Bengawan
Solo. Bengawan Solo adalah
nama sungai yang berada di
wilayah Surakarta. Seperti
diketahui, buaya memiliki
habitat di rawa dan sungai.
Reptil terbesar itu di habitanya
nyaris tak terkalahkan, karena
menjadi pemangsa yang
ganas. Pengandaian semacam
itulah yang mendasari
mengapa Gesang disebut
sebagai "Buaya Keroncong".
dari instrumen musik sejenis
ukulele dan juga sebagai nama
dari jenis musik khas Indonesia
yang menggunakan instrumen
musik keroncong, flute, dan
seorang penyanyi wanita.
Asal-usul
Akar keroncong berasal dari
sejenis musik Portugis yang
dikenal sebagai fado yang
diperkenalkan oleh para pelaut
dan budak kapal niaga bangsa
itu sejak abad ke-16 ke
Nusantara. Dari daratan India
(Goa) masuklah musik ini
pertama kali di Malaka dan
kemudian dimainkan oleh para
budak dari Maluku. Melemahnya
pengaruh Portugis pada abad
ke-17 di Nusantara tidak dengan
serta-merta berarti hilang pula
musik ini. Bentuk awal musik ini
disebut moresco (sebuah tarian
asal Spanyol, seperti polka agak
lamban ritmenya), di mana salah
satu lagu oleh Kusbini disusun
kembali kini dikenal dengan
nama Kr. Muritsku, yang diiringi
oleh alat musik dawai.
Musik
keroncong yang berasal dari
Tugu disebut keroncong Tugu.
Dalam perkembangannya,
masuk sejumlah unsur tradisional
Nusantara, seperti penggunaan
seruling serta beberapa
komponen gamelan. Pada sekitar
abad ke-19 bentuk musik
campuran ini sudah populer di
banyak tempat di Nusantara,
bahkan hingga ke Semenanjung
Malaya[1]. Masa keemasan ini
berlanjut hingga sekitar tahun
1960-an, dan kemudian
meredup akibat masuknya
gelombang musik populer (musik
rock yang berkembang sejak
1950, dan berjayanya musik
Beatle dan sejenisnya sejak tahun
1961 hingga sekarang). Meskipun
demikian, musik keroncong
masih tetap dimainkan dan
dinikmati oleh berbagai lapisan
masyarakat di Indonesia dan
Malaysia hingga sekarang.
Alat-alat musik
Dalam bentuknya yang paling
awal, moresco diiringi oleh musik
dawai, seperti biola, ukulele,
serta selo. Perkusi juga kadang-
kadang dipakai. Set orkes
semacam ini masih dipakai oleh
keroncong Tugu, bentuk
keroncong yang masih
dimainkan oleh komunitas
keturunan budak Portugis dari
Ambon yang tinggal di Kampung
Tugu, Jakarta Utara, yang
kemudian berkembang ke arah
selatan di Kemayoran dan
Gambir oleh orang Betawi
berbaur dengan musik Tanjidor
(tahun 1880-1920).
Tahun
1920-1960 pusat perkembangan
pindah ke Solo, dan beradaptasi
dengan irama yang lebih lambat
sesuai sifat orang Jawa.
Pem-"pribumi"-an keroncong
menjadikannya seni campuran,
dengan alat-alat musik seperti
sitar India
rebab
suling bambu
gendang, kenong, dan saron
sebagai satu set gamelan
gong.
Saat ini, alat musik yang dipakai
dalam orkes keroncong
mencakup
ukulele cuk, berdawai 3
(nilon), urutan nadanya
adalah G, B dan E; sebagai
alat musik utama yang
menyuarakan crong - crong
sehingga disebut keroncong
(ditemukan tahun 1879 di
Hawai, dan merupakan awal
tonggak mulainya musik
keroncong)
ukulele cak, berdawai 4 (baja),
urutan nadanya A, D, Fis, dan
B. Jadi ketika alat musik
lainnya memainkan tangga
nada C, cak bermain pada
tangga nada F (dikenal
dengan sebutan in F);
gitar akustik sebagai gitar
melodi, dimainkan dengan
gaya kontrapuntis (anti
melodi);
biola (menggantikan Rebab);
flut (mengantikan Suling
Bambu);
selo; betot menggantikan
kendang
kontrabas (menggantikan
Gong)[2]
Penjaga irama dipegang oleh
ukulele dan bas. Gitar yang
kontrapuntis dan selo yang ritmis
mengatur peralihan akord. Biola
berfungsi sebagai penuntun
melodi, sekaligus hiasan/
ornamen bawah. Flut mengisi
hiasan atas, yang melayang-
layang mengisi ruang melodi
yang kosong.
Bentuk keroncong yang
dicampur dengan musik populer
sekarang menggunakan organ
tunggal serta synthesizer untuk
mengiringi lagu keroncong (di
pentas pesta organ tunggal yang
serba bisa main keroncong,
dangdut, rock, polka, mars).
Jenis keroncong
Musik keroncong lebih condong
pada progresi akord dan jenis
alat yang digunakan. Sejak
pertengahan abad ke-20 telah
dikenal paling tidak tiga macam
keroncong, yang dapat dikenali
dari pola progresi akordnya. Bagi
pemusik yang sudah memahami
alurnya, mengiringi lagu-lagu
keroncong sebenarnya tidaklah
susah, sebab cukup
menyesuaikan pola yang
berlaku. Pengembangan
dilakukan dengan menjaga
konsistensi pola tersebut. Selain
itu, terdapat pula bentuk-bentuk
campuran serta adaptasi.
Perkembangan keroncong
masa kini
Setelah mengalami evolusi yang
panjang sejak kedatangan orang
Portugis di Indonesia (1522) dan
pemukiman para budak di
daerah Kampung Tugu tahun
1661 [3], dan ini merupakan
masa evolusi awal musik
keroncong yang panjang
(1661-1880) , hampir dua abad
lamanya, namun belum
memperlihatkan identitas
keroncong yang sebenarnya
dengan suara crong-crong-
crong, sehingga boleh dikatakan
musik keroncong belum lahir
tahun 1661-1880 .
Dan akhirnya musik keroncong
mengalami masa evolusi
pendek terakhir sejak tahun
1880 hingga kini , dengan tiga
tahap perkembangan terakhir
yang sudah berlangsung dan
satu perkiraan perkembangan
baru (keroncong millenium).
Tonggak awal adalah pada
tahun 1879 [4], di saat
penemuan ukulele di Hawai [5]
yang segera menjadi alat musik
utama dalam keroncong (suara
ukulele: crong-crong-crong),
sedangkan awal keroncong
millenium sudah ada tanda-
tandanya, namun belum
berkembang (Bondan Prakoso).
Empat tahap masa
perkembangan tersebut adalah
[6]
(a) Masa stambul (1880-1920),
(b) Masa keroncong abadi
(1920-1960), dan
(c) Masa keroncong modern
(1960-2000), serta
(d) Masa keroncong millenium
(2000-kini)
Masa stambul (1880-1920)
Ukulele ditemukan pada tahun
1879 di Hawaii, sehingga
diperkirakan pada tahun
berikutnya Keroncong baru
menjelma pada tahun 1880, di
daerah Tugu kemudian
menyebar ke selatan daerah
Kemayoran dan Gambir (lihat
ada lagu Kemayoran dan Pasar
Gambir, sekitar tahun 1913).
Komedie Stamboel 1891-1903
lahir di Kota Pelabuhan
Surabaya tahun 1891, berupa
Pentas Gaya Instanbul, yang
mengadakan pertunjukan keliling
di Hindia Belanda, Singapura,
dan Malaya lewat jalur kereta
api maupun kapal api. Pada
umumnya pertunjukan meliputi
Cerita 1001 Malam (Arab) dan
Cerita Eropa (Opera maupun
Rakyat), termasuk Hikayat India
dan Persia. Sebagai selingan,
antar adegan maupun
pembukaan, diperdengarkan
musik mars, polka, gambus, dan
keroncong. Khusus musik
keroncong dikenal pada waktu
itu Stambul I, Stambul II, dan
Stambull III.
Pada waktu itu lagu Stambul
berirama cepat (sekitar meter
120 untuk satu ketuk
seperempat nada), di mana
Gesang menyebut sebagai
Keroncong Cepat, dan berbaur
dengan Tanjidor yang asli Betawi.
Pada masa ini dikenal para musisi
Indo, dan pemain biola
legendaris adalah M. Sagi
(perhatikan rekaman Idris Sardi
main biola lagu Stambul II Jali-jali
berdasarkan aransemen dari M.
Sagi). Seperti diketahui bahwa
panjang lagu stambul adalah 16
birama, yang terdiri atas:
Stambul I:
Lagu ini misalnya Terang Bulan,
Potong Padi, Nina Bobo,
Sarinande, O Ina Ni Keke,
Bolelebo, dll. dengan struktur
bentuk A - B - A - B atau A - B -
C - D (16 birama):
|I , , , |, , , , |, , , , |V7, , , |
|, , , , |, , , , |, , , , |I , , , |
|I7, , , |IV, , , |, , V7, |I , , ,

||
Stambul II:
Lagu ini misalnya Si Jampang,
Jali-Jali, di mana masuk pada
Akord IV sebagai ciri Stambul II
dengan struktur A - B - A - C (16
birama):
|I . . . |. . . . |. . . . |IV, , , |
(tanda . artinya tacet)

|, , , , |, , , , |, , , , |V7, , , |
|, , , , |, , , , |, , , , |I , , , ||
Stambul III:
Lagu ini misalnya Kemayoran, di
mana mirip dengan Keroncong A
sli sehingga sering salah
diucapkan dengan Kr.
Kemayoran, yang seharusnya
Stambul III Kemayoran, dengan
struktur Prelude - A - Interlude -
B - C (16 birama):
Pr|I , , , |, , , , | Prelude 2

C2|V7, , , |I , , , ||
Musiq Losquin Bugis: Dari
periode stambul ini lahir pula di
Makassar bentuk keroncong
khas yang dikenal sebagai musiq
losquin Bugis, misalnya lagu
Ongkona Arumpone yang
dinyanyikan oleh Sukaenah B.
Salamaki. Irama keroncong ini,
tanpa seruling-biola-cello, tapi
dengan melodi guitar yang
kental, mirip seperti gaya Tjoh de
Fretes dari Ambon.
Masa keroncong abadi
(1920-1960)
Pada masa ini panjang lagu telah
berubah menjadi 32 birama,
akibat pengaruh musik pop
Amerika yang melanda lantai
dansa di Hotel2 Indonesia pada
waktu itu, dengan musisi
didominasi dari Filipina (spt
Pablo, Sambayon, dll), dan
berakibat juga lagu pada waktu
itu telah 32 birama juga,
perhatikan lagu Indonesia Raya
(1924) pada waktu itu juga sudah
32 birama. Selanjutnya pusat
perkembangan beralih ke Solo
dan iramanya juga lebih lamban
(sekitar 80 untuk seperempat
nada). Masa ini lahir para musisi
Solo spt Gesang. Lagu
Keroncong Abadi terdiri atas:
Langgam Keroncong:
Bentuk lagu langgam ada dua
versi. Yang pertama A - A - B - A
dengan pengulangan dari bagian
A kedua seperti lagu standar
pop: Verse A - Verse A - Bridge
B - Verse A, panjang 32 birama.
Beda sedikit pada versi kedua,
yakni pengulangannya langsung
pada bagian B. Meski sudah
memiliki bentuk baku, namun
pada perkembangannya irama
ini lebih bebas diekspresikan.
Penyanyi serba bisa Hetty Koes
Endang misalnya, dia sering
merekam lagu-lagu non
keroncong dan langgam
menggunakan irama yang sama,
dan kebanyakan tetap
dinamakan langgam. Alur akord-
nya sebagai berikut:
Verse A | V7 , , , |I , , , | IV ,
V7 , | I , , , | I , , , | V7 , , , |

Stambul Keroncong:
Stambul Keroncong berbentuk
(A-B-A-B') x 2 = 16 birama x 2 =
32 birama, merupakan modifikasi
Stambul II yang 16 birama
menjadi 32 birama
(menyesuaikan standar
Keroncong Abadi yang 32
birama). Stambul merupakan
jenis keroncong yang namanya
diambil dari bentuk sandiwara
yang dikenal pada akhir abad
ke-19 hingga paruh awal abad
ke-20 di Indonesia dengan nama
Komedi stambul. Nama
"stambul" diambil dari Istambul
di Turki.
Alur akord Stambul Keroncong
adalah sbb. (tanda - adalah tacet

Keroncong Asli
Keroncong asli memiliki bentuk
lagu A - B - B'. Lagu terdiri atas
8 baris, 8 baris x 4 birama = 32
birama, di mana dibuka dengan
PRELUDE 4 birama yang
dimainkan secara instrumental,
kemudian disisipi INTERLUDE
standar sebanyak 4 birama yang
dimainkan secara instrumental
juga. Keroncong asli diawali oleh
voorspel atau prelude, atau intro
yang diambil dari baris 7 (B3)
mengarah ke nada/akord awal
lagu, yang dilakukan oleh alat
musik melodi seperti seruling/
flut, biola, atau gitar; dan
tussenspel atau interlude atau
intermezzo di tengah-tengah
setelah modulasi/modulatie/

Kadensa Keroncong Kadensa
adalah suatu rangkaian harmoni
sebagai penutup pada akhir
melodi atau di tengah kalimat,
sehingga bisa menutup
sempurna melodi tersebut atau
setengah menutup (sementara)
melodi tersebut. Pada Masa
Keroncong Abadi dikenal
rangkaian penutup I7-IV-V7-I.
1. Kadensa dengan rangkaian
V7-I disebut sebagai
Kadensa Sempurna,
karena sempurna menutup
rangkaian tersebut dan
terasa berhenti sempurna.
2. Tetapi kalau akord X-V7
menjadi akhir rangaian,
maka disebut Kadensa
Tidak Sempurna atau
Setengah Kadensa,
misalnya rangkaian Super
Tonik - Dominan Septim.
3. Kalau rangkaian harmoni
diakhiri pada X-VI, maka
disebut Kadensa
Terputus, misalnya
Doninan Septim -
Submedian.
4. Dalam rangkaian IV-I
disebut Kadensa Plagal,
mempunyai sifat sendu
seperti kalau kita
mengucap "Amin" dalam
salat.
5. Kadensa Keroncong,
khusus dikembangkan
dalam musik keroncong,
yaitu rangkaian harmoni
I7-IV-V7-I

pengabdiannya itulah, oleh
Gesang dijuluki "Buaya
Keroncong" oleh insan
keroncong Indonesia, sebutan
untuk pakar musik keroncong.
Gesang menyebut irama
keroncong pada MASA
STAMBUL (1880-1920), yang
berkembang di Jakarta (Tugu ,
Kemayoran, dan Gambir) sebagai
Keroncong Cepat; sedangkan
setelah pusat perkembangan
pindah ke Solo (MASA
KERONCONG ABADI: 1920-1960)
iramanya menjadi lebih lambat.
Di sisi lain nama Anjar Any (Solo,
pencipta Langgam Jawa lebih
dari 2000 lagu yang meninggal
tahun 2008) juga mempunyai
andil dalam keroncong untuk
Langgam Jawa beserta Waljinah
(Solo), sedangkan R. Pirngadie
(Jakarta) untuk Keroncong Beat,
Manthous (Gunung Kidul,
Yogyakarta) untuk Campursari
dan Koe Plus (Solo/Jakarta)
untuk Keroncobg Rock, serta
Didi Kempot (Ngawi) untuk
Congdut.
Trivia
Asal muasal sebutan "Buaya
Keroncong" berkisar pada
lagu ciptaannya, Bengawan
Solo. Bengawan Solo adalah
nama sungai yang berada di
wilayah Surakarta. Seperti
diketahui, buaya memiliki
habitat di rawa dan sungai.
Reptil terbesar itu di habitanya
nyaris tak terkalahkan, karena
menjadi pemangsa yang
ganas. Pengandaian semacam
itulah yang mendasari
mengapa Gesang disebut
sebagai "Buaya Keroncong".

Iron Maiden akan invasi Indonesia
Kapanlagi.com - Mimpi para
penggemar Iron Maiden di
Indonesia untuk bisa melihat
penampilan dedengkot metal
asal Inggris ini tampaknya akan
jadi kenyataan. Legenda hidup
metal ini akan menyempatkan
rangkaian tur mereka di
Indonesia.
Isu santer Iron Maiden ke
Indonesia sebenarnya sudah
keluar awal tahun lalu. Bisa saja
hal itu terjadi karena saat ini
Indonesia sudah diperhitungkan
dalam rangkaian tur band-band
dari penjuru dunia. Namun
banyak pula yang merasa pesimis
dengan kepastian kedatangan
band ini.
Atas prakarsa Original
Production akhirnya band yang
baru saja mengeluarkan album
terbaru THE FINAL FRONTIER
yang dirilis pertengahan Agustus
bisa tampil di sini. Konser yang
akan digelar Februari 2011 ini
tak hanya digelar di satu tempat
saja, melainkan dua tempat
sekaligus yaitu Jakarta dan Bali.
Kabar ini di peroleh dari twitter
Original Production.
"Iron Maiden THE FINAL
FRONTIER World Tour 2011
February live in concert Jakarta
and Bali. Stay tuned for pre
sale!!! Scream for me Indonesia,"
tulisnya.
Kedatangan band yang eksis
selama 35 tahun ini dipastikan
akan laku keras dan akan
didatangi oleh penggemarnya
dari penjuru Indonesia.
Saat ini masih belum ada kabar
berapa harga tiket yang nantinya
akan dijual. Kita tunggu saja
kabar selanjutnya. (kpl/faj)

lamb of god
Lamb Of God mulai terbentuk di
tahun 1990 dan sebenarnya
pada awalnya dibentuk dari
keisengan Mark Morton, Chris
Adler,dan John Campbell dalam
mengisi waktu luang semasa
kuliah di *Virginia ommonwealth
University* . Mereka tinggal di
satu asrama dan sering
berkumpul dan berlatih bersama
membawakan lagu lagu Slayer,
Pantera, Metallica secara
instrumental tanpa vokalis.
Setelah mereka lulus, mereka
sepakat untuk membangun band
ini, dengan anggota baru
bernama Randi Blythe sebagai
Vokalis dan mereka merilis demo
pertama mereka di tahun 1995.
Respon dari *scene *metal yang
‘ merindukan’ jenis band dengan
musik ala Pantera dengan beat2x
groovy terjawab sudah, dan
lahirlah legenda baru dari ”The
New Wave of American Heavy
Metal ”
Album pertama mereka *New
American Gospel* dan diikuti
oleh *As The Palaces burns* laris
di minggu pertama dirilisnya
album ini bahkan menempati
posisi chart Billboard selama
beberapa pekan. Sehingga Epic
Records, sebuah major label di
Amerika Serikat yang juga
banyak menaungi banyak artis
rap, r&b menarik Lamb of God
menjadi salah satu artis mereka
dengan ditandai dirilisnya album*
Ashes the Wake*Album inilah
yang semakin mengangkat
pamor Lamb of God di scene
musik metal dunia karena Epic
records merupakan label yang
lebih besar dari label mereka
sebelumnya, Prosthetic records.
Ashes the wake tercatat
langsung terjual 35.000 keping
cd di minggu pertama
penjualannya dan langsung
menduduki peringkat 27 di
Billboard chart 200 untuk
beberapa pekan. Suksesnya
Lamb of God diikuti dengan
berbagai penghargaan,
diantaranya sebagai *2nd best
Album of the Year* oleh majalah
musik berpengaruh *Revolver*,
dan *Best Music Video *oleh
MTV2 yang khusus menyiarkan
musik rock dan metal.
*Sacrament*, adalah judul album
berikutnya yang semakin
melambungkan nama Lamb of
God ke jajaran metal elit dunia,
album yang berhasil menarik
perhatian kalangan metal dunia,
balik dari kalangan pendengar
yang menyukai thrash metal,
progressive metal dan extreme
metal. Album yang cukup
fenomenal ini langsung
menduduki peringkat ke 8 di
chart billboard 200 dan terjual
lebih dari 65.000 CD di minggu
pertama penjualan CD ini,
sampai sekarang konon telah
terjual hamper 500.000 keping

album inilah Lamb of God
menjadi *headliner* di berbagai
metalfest diseluruh dunia ,
seperti Ozzfest, Sound of the

bersama *Slayer* , Gigantour
dengan *Megadeth,* juga akhir
tahun 2008 ini, Lamb of God

DEVILDRIVER

www.devildriver.com/
homelow.html
"DevilDriver" is the name witches
give to the bells they use to drive
away evil when casting their
spells. But the DevilDriver we
speak of is a band.
DevilDriver is not Dez Fafara's
first band. In fact, the singer has
been toiling in the trenches of
the music industry since 1994,
having sold well over a million
albums worldwide, having
appeared on nine soundtracks,
and having spent countless years
on the road playing hundreds of
shows.
With DevilDriver, Fafara feels he
has reached the point of sonic
nirvana, where DevilDriver is the
be-all, end-all. With its self-titled
debut, DevilDriver exudes
abrasive, formidable heavy metal
from every pore, culling
influence from the blackest of
black metal, the deadliest of
death metal, as well as the
classic heavy metal cannon. Dez
Fafara has always stood for
heavy music and when others
around him would not stand
with him, he chose to stand
alone. So, it's time for heavy
music (and Fafara's) fans to
focus on the here, on the now,
and on the no-holds-barred
DevilDriver.
DevilDriver, rounded out by
guitarists Evan and Jeff, bassist
John, and drummer Johnny B,
was conceived in 2001, during
the recording process of Dark
Days, the third album by Fafara's
other project, Coal Chamber.
Fafara had wanted to add girth
and heft to his musical output
for quite some time. He had
been contemplating moving in a
fresher, more metallic direction
when DevilDriver finally came to
fruition. “I decided to make a life
choice and a musical choice, and
that choice was to get heavier
and to follow my path more
closely with heavy music,” admits
a candid Fafara, who beams over
DevilDriver like a father over his
newborn spawn.
“ I was eating breakfast at a joint
here in the small town in
California where I live,” recalls
Fafara. “And a guitar player left
me a napkin and it read, 'I hear
you are in town, and if you want
to jam, call me.'” Fafara
eventually called Evan and the
guitarist went to his house, and
the pair eventually became good
friends. “We both knew we
wanted to do heavy music, and
wanted to do something cutting
edge, and something that wasn't
happening now. We wanted to
go in a different direction than
everyone else.” The rest of
DevilDriver was assembled in an
organic fashion: stolen from
other bands around town.
Things clicked, and the band, in
its embryonic state, spent about
a year hanging out and getting
to know each other. Fafara knew
in his mind and heart that once
he finished touring with his other
band, he would come off the
road and dedicate his energy
and mind to DevilDriver full-
bore. “ My heart was going black
in my previous band and I
needed a musical and emotional
change,” Fafara continues. “I
had to follow my own love and
passion, and that's brutal,
extreme music, that doesn't play
itself out to be on the radio or
to fit in someone else's scene.”
DevilDriver is twelve songs
strong, and was recorded at two
different studios with two
different producers. The drums
and main guitars were recorded
with Ross Hogarth at Rumbo,
where a little album called
Appetite For Destruction was
done. The vocals, overdubs, and
bass tracks were recorded with
Dan Certa at Castle Oaks. It was
a positive experience for all
involved, and Fafara says, “It was
gratifying to work with a bunch
of wonderful musicians that
wanted to do their jobs, where
business came before playtime.”
Fafara even goes as far as to
deem the recording experience
as “heartwarming,” since
DevilDriver is a cohesive unit,
where all the members were
present during recording and
functioning as a team.
Fafara admits that black, death,
and classic heavy metal
influences have reared their
heads on DevilDriver, and
compares his players to no one
that he has ever heard. In
essence, DevilDriver has formed
its own style of rage, darkness,
and fury. Songs like “Die (And
Die Now),” “I Could Care Less,”
and ”Nothing's Wrong?” could
fuel a large nation's army.
Fafara admits to changing
directions with his lyrical
perspective. He says. “All the
songs on the album are like the
story of Faust, who sold his soul
to the devil. I sold mine for my
musical life. I write along those
lines.” “Cry For Me Sky”
addresses Fafara's take on his
own funeral eulogy. “Out of all
the songs I've written in my
lifetime, this would be my eulogy
song,” while “Nothing's Wrong?”
is DevilDriver's take on “doing
what thou will.” Fafara says “I
Could Care Less” is about
despising people's grandiose and
pompous ways. The corrosive
“Die (And Die Now),” which is so
brutal that you can just see
blood, guts, carnage, and flesh
hanging from its jaw, is dedicated
to the emotion of wishing
someone was dead. “Everyone
has that one person in their life
that they wish was gone from
the planet,” says Fafara. “This is
my song about that one person.”
There is a lyrical turn of phrase
that says, “This is the last great
hate song / So die / And die
now.” Clearly, DevilDriver isn't
masking its emotions or its
intentions.
“ We wanted to avoid everything
going on the States,” Fafara
reiterates. “Do we have a hit
radio song? We don't pander to
what radio wants. We want to
have a hit record for fans of
heavy music. If a song is taken
out and becomes successful,
okay, great. If not, my middle
finger is bigger than ever and I'll
stay on tour for another two
years!” Touring is where
DevilDriver fully expects to bring
its malicious metal to the masses.
The band will be baptized into
touring life on the exceptionally
hard 'n heavy “The Blackest Of
The Black Tour,” featuring
Morbid Angel, Superjoint Ritual,
and Danzig.
DevilDriver just wants its music to
be heard. The band just wants to
get on stage and kill it every
night. “This band will tour until
the wheels come loose,” Fafara
says.
Based on what we've seen from
Dez Fafara in the past, and what
he has assembled now, expect
an explosion of massive
consequence with DevilDriver.
The band comes out of the gates
with its fangs bared, ready to
unleash its musical ferocity on
the heavy metal world. Don't say
we didn't warn you. So either
join the DevilDriver party now, or
brace yourself in a fetal position,
because DevilDriver is coming
and you won't be able to hide
from the fallout generated by its
self-titled debut.

choice and a musical choice, and
that choice was to get heavier
and to follow my path more
closely with heavy music,” admits
a candid Fafara, who beams over
DevilDriver like a father over his
newborn spawn.
“ I was eating breakfast at a joint
here in the small town in
California where I live,” recalls
Fafara. “And a guitar player left
me a napkin and it read, 'I hear
you are in town, and if you want
to jam, call me.'” Fafara
eventually called Evan and the
guitarist went to his house, and
the pair eventually became good
friends. “We both knew we
wanted to do heavy music, and
wanted to do something cutting
edge, and something that wasn't
happening now. We wanted to
go in a different direction than
everyone else.” The rest of
DevilDriver was assembled in an
organic fashion: stolen from
other bands around town.
Things clicked, and the band, in
its embryonic state, spent about
a year hanging out and getting
to know each other. Fafara knew
in his mind and heart that once
he finished touring with his other
band, he would come off the
road and dedicate his energy
and mind to DevilDriver full-
bore. “ My heart was going black
in my previous band and I
needed a musical and emotional
change,” Fafara continues. “I
had to follow my own love and
passion, and that's brutal,
extreme music, that doesn't play
itself out to be on the radio or
to fit in someone else's scene.”
DevilDriver is twelve songs
strong, and was recorded at two
different studios with two
different producers. The drums
and main guitars were recorded
with Ross Hogarth at Rumbo,
where a little album called
Appetite For Destruction was
done. The vocals, overdubs, and
bass tracks were recorded with
Dan Certa at Castle Oaks. It was
a positive experience for all
involved, and Fafara says, “It was
gratifying to work with a bunch
of wonderful musicians that
wanted to do their jobs, where
business came before playtime.”
Fafara even goes as far as to
deem the recording experience
as “heartwarming,” since
DevilDriver is a cohesive unit,
where all the members were
present during recording and
functioning as a team.
Fafara admits that black, death,
and classic heavy metal
influences have reared their
heads on DevilDriver, and
compares his players to no one
that he has ever heard. In
essence, DevilDriver has formed
its own style of rage, darkness,
and fury. Songs like “Die (And
Die Now),” “I Could Care Less,”
and ”Nothing's Wrong?” could
fuel a large nation's army.
Fafara admits to changing
directions with his lyrical
perspective. He says. “All the
songs on the album are like the
story of Faust, who sold his soul
to the devil. I sold mine for my
musical life. I write along those
lines.” “Cry For Me Sky”
addresses Fafara's take on his
own funeral eulogy. “Out of all
the songs I've written in my
lifetime, this would be my eulogy
song,” while “Nothing's Wrong?”
is DevilDriver's take on “doing
what thou will.” Fafara says “I
Could Care Less” is about
despising people's grandiose and
pompous ways. The corrosive
“Die (And Die Now),” which is so
brutal that you can just see
blood, guts, carnage, and flesh
hanging from its jaw, is dedicated
to the emotion of wishing
someone was dead. “Everyone
has that one person in their life
that they wish was gone from
the planet,” says Fafara. “This is
my song about that one person.”
There is a lyrical turn of phrase
that says, “This is the last great
hate song / So die / And die
now.” Clearly, DevilDriver isn't
masking its emotions or its
intentions.
“ We wanted to avoid everything
going on the States,” Fafara
reiterates. “Do we have a hit
radio song? We don't pander to
what radio wants. We want to
have a hit record for fans of
heavy music. If a song is taken
out and becomes successful,
okay, great. If not, my middle
finger is bigger than ever and I'll
stay on tour for another two
years!” Touring is where
DevilDriver fully expects to bring
its malicious metal to the masses.
The band will be baptized into
touring life on the exceptionally
hard 'n heavy “The Blackest Of
The Black Tour,” featuring
Morbid Angel, Superjoint Ritual,
and Danzig.
DevilDriver just wants its music to
be heard. The band just wants to
get on stage and kill it every
night. “This band will tour until
the wheels come loose,” Fafara
says.
Based on what we've seen from
Dez Fafara in the past, and what
he has assembled now, expect
an explosion of massive
consequence with DevilDriver.
The band comes out of the gates
with its fangs bared, ready to
unleash its musical ferocity on
the heavy metal world. Don't say
we didn't warn you. So either
join the DevilDriver party now, or
brace yourself in a fetal position,
because DevilDriver is coming
and you won't be able to hide
from the fallout generated by its
self-titled debut.
HATEBREED

hatebreed/aof/25.html
Since their formation in 1994,
New Haven, CT's Hatebreed
have grown into one of the most
sought after hardcore bands in
the United States. Their perfect
combination of brutal metallic
riffs, gutwrenching vocals and
classic mosh parts have
catapulted them to the forefront
of the hardcore genre.
Hatebreed came into existence
based on the simple idea that
there weren't any really heavy,
brutal bands out there that had
gained the respect of the
hardcore scene. And in seeking
to change that, these guys have
fundamentally changed the face
of hardcore music. They play
bone-crushing riffs followed
immediately by in-your-face
dance parts that get the crowd
going live, and will have you
slamming into the walls of your
living room at home.
These guys are also unabashed
about their love for metal, and it
shows. With influences ranging
from Venom and Celtic Frost to
Madball, Integrity and Biohazard,
Hatebreed have positioned
themselves at the perfect
hardcore metal crossroads.
Definitely a hardcore band with
short songs and dance parts,
these guys have taken the best
of the Old School, and whipped
it into a frenzied barrage of
Slayer-esque riffs and even some
double bass thrown in for flavor.
Not to be confused with a metal
band, Jamey and the guys have
been a grass roots center of the
CT hardcore scene for well over
five years.
While not interested in politics,
Hatebreed have gained the
attention of a lot of people with
the song "Kill and Addict" off of
their last demo EP, Under The
Knife (Victory Distribution's best-
selling demo title). This particular
track is a personal, not political
statement regarding people who
have given up any hope of being
clean. And that trend of
personal lyrical statements
continues on Satisfaction is the
Death of Desire. "Last Breath" is
a tribute to three people that
the band was friends with that
have died this year, including
Raybeez from Warzone.
"Betrayed by Life" is about a
friend tragically dying from AIDS.
And "Empty Promises" is about
people who try to change your
life for the better, but their
intentions are really to better
themselves and boost their ego.
With a consistent touring
schedule, Hatebreed are on their
way to you in the next few
months. They just completed a
full U.S. tour with Despair (their
third national tour), and will be
playing several shows with
Agnostic Front and Cause For
Alarm before year's end. In the
past, they have played with
bands ranging from Machine
Head, Life of Agony and Napalm
Death to H2O, AFI, and even
Dog Eat Dog, just to name a few.
The future looks bright for the
band. Their strong work ethic
and desire to ring their message
of aggression-packed new school
hardcore to all kinds of
audiences guarantees them a
spot as THE band to watch. They
are the antithesis of emo...They
are brutally aggressive, tribal,
urban hardcore that wants
nothing more than to get in your
face and get you in the pit.

Slipknot
Slipknot's mix of grinding, post-
Korn alternative metal, Marilyn
Manson-esque neo-shock rock,
and
rap-metal helped make them
one of the most popular bands
in the so-called nu-metal
explosion of the late '90s. But
even more helpful was their
theatrical, attention-grabbing
(some critics said ridiculous)
image: the band always
performed in identical industrial
jump suits and homemade
Halloween masks, and added to
its mysterious anonymity by
adopting the numbers zero
through eight as stage aliases.
Add to that a lyrical
preoccupation with darkness and
nihilism, and an affectionately
insulting name for their fans
("Maggots"), and Slipknot's
blueprint for nu-metal success
was set.
Slipknot were formed in late
1995 in the unlikely locale of Des
Moines, IA; after some early
personnel shifts, the nine-piece
lineup settled around (in order
from number zero to number
eight): DJ Sid Wilson, drummer
Joey Jordison, bassist Paul Grey,
percussionist Chris Fehn, guitarist
James Root, sampler/
programmer Craig Jones,
percussionist Shawn "Clown"
Crahan, guitarist Mick
Thompson, and lead vocalist
Corey Taylor. The music scene in
Des Moines wasn't much to
speak of, and the band's big-
time ambition was usually met
with disbelief and ridicule, which
provided the initial spark for its
mostly anonymous stage visuals.
On Halloween 1996, Slipknot
self-released an album called
Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat., which
began to build a buzz around
the group once it found its way
to several labels. It was picked
up for distribution by the
Nebraska-based -ismist label,
and also caught the attention of
Roadrunner Records, which
signed Slipknot in 1997. Working
with producer Ross Robinson,
Slipknot recorded their official,
self-titled debut album, which
was released in 1999. They
gradually built an audience
through near-constant touring,
working their way up to the
summer Ozzfest package tour,
which really expanded their
audience. Their live shows were a
much-discussed hit with metal
fans, and the band performed
with such energy that Crahan
gashed his head open on his
own drum kit twice that summer,
requiring stitches both times. The
tracks "Wait and Bleed" and
"Spit It Out" got the band some
airplay, but most of the buzz
came from touring and word of
mouth. Finally, in the spring of
2000, Slipknot was certified
platinum; the first such album in
Roadrunner's history.
The anticipation for Slipknot's
follow-up was intense, and many
industry observers predicted that
it would debut at number one;
however, faced with some stiff
competition that week, the
band's sophomore effort, Iowa,
bowed at number three upon its
release in 2001. More heavy
touring followed, including
another, more prominent slot on
that summer's Ozzfest. After a
long spell on the road, Slipknot
took a break while the members
worked on side projects. The
band set up its own label,
Maggot Recordings, and signed a
band called Downthesun, whose
lead singer had served as
Crahan's drum technician.
Wilson, meanwhile, began DJing
solo under the name DJ
Starscream, and Root and
Thompson both worked on solo
material. Drummer Jordison
worked with a side group called
the Rejects, where he'd actually
served for quite some time as
guitarist. Taylor, meanwhile,
started a side band called
Superego, and also contributed
a solo song, "Bother," to the
soundtrack of the 2002
blockbuster Spider-Man. That
May, the band got some
amusing press when some of its
fans discovered the website of a
British crocheting group also
called "Slipknot," and flooded
the members' in-boxes with
excessively rude e-mails. Guitarist
Joey Jordison and Static-X
guitarist Tripp Eisen teamed that
summer for the Murderdolls
project, while Taylor reformed
his old band Stone Sour and
released an album. By the
winter, Slipknot had still not
reunited and Taylor wrote a
commentary on the band's
website stating that they had not
spoken in months, and that
they'd rather break up than
become "the next Gwar". The
statement sparked a quickly
resolved minifeud between
Taylor and Gwar frontman
Oderus Urungus. but it also sent
many of the Maggots into a
tailspin. By early 2003, Taylor
had retracted his comments, and
announced plans for a new
Slipknot album. By August, the
entire squad had decamped
Iowa for LA, where they began
work on the new record with
famously bearded producer Rick
Rubin. "Pulse of the Maggots"
appeared in early 2004 as an
exclusive download; it was
followed by a full track listing for
Vol. 3: [The Subliminal Verses],
which was slated for a May
release. Slipknot then embarked
on a brief tour as a warm-up for
their dates headlining Ozzfest
that summer. The group also
debuted a fully-redesigned third
generation of their famous
masks. On May 25th, the
Subliminal Verses finally
dropped, to the usual clamor of
great fanfare and furious anger.

SNUFF by slipknot
Bury all your secrets in my skin.
Come away with innocence, and
leave me with my sins.
The air around me still feels like
a cage
And love is just a camouflage for
what resembles rage again...
So if you love me, let me go.
And run away before I know.
My heart is just too dark to care.
I can't destroy what isn't there.
Deliver me into my Fate -
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you...
Ooh, my smile was taken long
ago,
If I can change I hope I never
know.
I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me
that savor every kiss.
I couldn't face a life without your
light,
But all of that was ripped apart,
when you refused to fight.
So save your breath, I will not
care.
I think I made it very clear.
You couldn't hate enough to
love.
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my
friend.
Then I could hurt you in the
end.
I never claimed to be a Saint...
Ooh, my own was banished long
ago,
It took the Death of Hope to let
you go
So break yourself against my
stones
And spit your pity in my soul.
You never needed any help...
You sold me out to save
yourself...
And I won't listen to your shame.
You ran away, you're all the
same.
Angels lie to keep control...
Ooh, my love was punished long
ago,
If you still care, don't ever let me
know...
If you still care, don't ever let me
know...
Come away with innocence, and
leave me with my sins.
The air around me still feels like
a cage
And love is just a camouflage for
what resembles rage again...
So if you love me, let me go.
And run away before I know.
My heart is just too dark to care.
I can't destroy what isn't there.
