Reviews of KEKAL - "Acidity"
Is there such a thing as justice in the extreme metal biz? If so, this extreme prog/BM outfit ought to be snapped up by a 'major' extreme metal label, have the metal press fighting over them for interviews and see their baby flying off record distributors' shelves anytime now. If not, lets say it'll be the metal world's loss if this offering slips by unnoticed, for Kekal piss all over 99 percent of their rivals. The Indonesian quintet's fifth full-length is a stunning, sophisticated, inventive, varied and powerful blend of ambient avant garde, jazz, post-black metal and extreme prog (the kind that does what it's supposed to, ie: progress). The musicianship is technical and flawless, three guitars allowing for exceptional depth, texture and interest brought about by contrasting parts, from discordant, aggressive onslaughts to atmospheric, 'watery'-sounding arpeggios. Dissonant synths add a slightly sinister touch, while quirky grooves, soaring melodies, fluid solos and versatile vocals further add to the 'wow' factor. Brilliantly corrosive stuff!

Now Indonesia at the row is more exactly said, to Kekal. Whereby Kekal are however no beginners, but with "Acidity" their already-released fifth album. One hardly believes it, but the roots of these Quintets lie in the Black Metal. If comparisons must be drawn, only more conditionally at the voice. But back to "Acidity". This album is everything but simple. The opener "Characteristicon" is progressive already from start to finish. "Strengh in My Weakness" pleases me at first attempt. Mad Riffing paired with crude Vocals is the prescription, which brings me here even with the whip. Kekal are different than the others. After five albums those are young brought in team and their musical homeland long found. This lies in avant-garde song structures and chaotic outbreaks, on the other hand in addition, in unusual structures. The first run of "Acidity" resembles a march with naked feet on fragments of glass! But with the time, this album grows enormously and is opened, at least to me, perfectly. "Acidity" is the perfect album, in order to energize the brain for thinking. This happens much too rarely in our music scene. Kekal are moved and ingeniously at the same time. "Acidity" is for me one of the best albums of the current years!

Translated from German
Extreme metal from Indonesia stays strange in our eyes, but Kekal convinced us allready with earlier releases. Same as the band Sigh from Japan, Kekal uses a basis of black metal, but they dare to use really anything else to experiment and end up with a bizare, very catchy and original cd. The violent opener 'Characteristicon' shows some Iron Maiden influences and flirt with some progrock notes, but thats just a hint to show you what will come. Kekal isn't even scared to use a good part of Rush and you can notice this in some vocal parts, where it looks that Geddy Lee himself shows up behind the mics. Bizarre and really not common, but this type of challanges do we like very much, if I am honest. Typical black metal transfers by modern sounding crunchy riffs to laidback pieces with jazzy keys, ending up a bit later in a complete violent and unpredicted way. It takes some listenings before you can follow the songs and start to like them, but thats always with the cd's you will like the most... if you are a real musicfreak. Give it at least a change, it won't point you down.

Most people feel disappointment when a band's new album isn't as good as the one that came before it. But in this case, I can't say that I am; Kekal's last album, "1000 Thoughts of Violence" was my pick for Album of the Year in 2003. It really wouldn't be fair of me to expect them to drop my jaw by delivering an album that left that one smoking in the dust. What can be said for "Acidity" is that it is still an amazing record in it's own right, irregardless of the album that preceded it. This is the next step in Kekal's evolution. They still play black metal, but it is barely recognizable as such due to the amazing progressive elements that are found throughout the album. The "nuclear fallout at the final battle of Armageddon" guitar crunch is still there, but not as often and the music is more melodic than ever before and many of the singing parts are actually sung instead of being black metal screams. The album opens with a nice dark-sounding progressive riff. From there, we are treated to some very trippy keyboards on "Thy Neighbor's Morality" that add some great atmosphere to the track and on "A Dream For A Moment" we find an insane bit of Saxaphone that sounds like jazz played by an escaped mental patient. Truly awesome stuff. Kekal will never be accused of doing the same album twice and with "Acidity" being album number five, I can't wait to hear what number six will be like.

Emerging from the mystical islands of Indonesia KEKAL took the metal community by storm with their assault against mediocrity, entitled ‘1000 thoughts of violence’ (2003). On their new record ‘Acidity’, the band pushes their creative envelope even further! Blending the best elements from black, death, heavy and progressive metal, KEKAL certainly proves themselves as the definitive Asian metal act of 2005!

With this “Acidity” Kekal already launches their fifth full length, and for the music that Kekal produces, I guess a long time of band history helps, as Kekal’s music is not the easiest extreme music to be found. Had these guys come from Texas in stead of Indonesia, perhaps a lot more people would have known them.... To go in short: Kekal stays on the path they have taken on their previous album “1000 Thoughts of Violence”, but with additional items.... Furthermore they are less extreme on this “Acidity”, on both ends (regarding the mellow and extreme passages), but in doing this they have managed to make the songs in general and the album as a whole more fluent. Don’t get me wrong, as the sudden breaks are still abundant on this “Acidity”, as are the seventies jazz-like passages, but the new album is more compact so to say. Another thing which is more present than on the last albums is the epic side of the band; the album is dedicated to riffmaster Dimebag Darrell (and trust me, monster riffs are to be found on this album!) and Quorthon, and that dedication to the master of Viking metal can be heard in ‘Blessing in Disguise’. What hasn’t changed, is that Kekal’s songs are still made out of very different parts; from almost ambient like passages to normal heavy, up to blasting dark parts: if one song should be pointed out that displays what Kekal stands for, I would advise you all to get your hands on ‘Thy Neighbor's Morality’, my personal price track of this “Acidity”. It is very hard to combine technique, extreme metal and writing serious compositions, but Kekal is one of the few bands I know that manage to achieve just that! Combined with a very good production (both loud and clear enough) and the fact that the songs are more congruent, this album may not have the extremes of its predecessor, but is certainly as heavy. Those who liked the previous album can buy this one blindfolded, but people who thought in the past that the music was too diverse, should certainly retry Kekal. Definitely one of the best acts in the genre of progressive dark/extreme metal! As being a non-musician, yet a close listening metal fan, I am happy with the small changes. And Kekal proves that the best metal isn’t always coming from Europe or America!

While listening to the new 'Kekal' record, I doze off for a moment. I am in the jungle of Indonesia. There are high trees everywhere and the air is humid, close and feels over two hundred degrees to me. While I try to make my way through the bushes I notice a strange sort of humming that breaks loose from the endless noise of the vampiristic mosquitoes everywhere. As I chop further I begin to notice its resemblance to music. Surprised I try to focus; this is good! What are these virtuosi doing in this green hell? Kekal stands for a mix of black metal and progrock... Kekal gives the listeners a lot to listen to. This ranges from Children Of Bodom-like black metal and 'easy-listening' Iron Maiden licks, to quieter 'proggy' pieces, and melodic vocals. These clean vocals are a little odd, because they closer resemble those of the average emo-singer than those of Bruce Dickinson. Not something one would expect, but maybe therefore even more interesting (or more annoying of course, ever depending on taste). Everything considered, this is a strong piece of work, if you think the production could have been better, you have to think by yourself that for a bloody Indonesian production this is just near flawless. For years now this band balances on the edge of a breakthrough and this record may push them over the edge. I think it would be well deserved.

On the ten-year anniversary of their existence, Kekal is celebrating by releasing a new full-length album called Acidity. Kekal stormed onto the scene with their first album in 1998 called Beyond the Glimpse of Dreams. I can remember falling in love with that album and instantly becoming a Kekal fans that gobbled up everything they released. That black metal album set the stage for a career of some of the most unique metal you’ll ever hear. And while they still retain some black metal tendencies, their music mixes avant-garde, classic rock, progressive metal, and progressive rock with everything from black, to death, to clean vocals to create a style that sounds like no one else. Kekal’s last album, 1000 Thoughts of Violence, was easily their best release yet. And this new album Acidity, while maybe not being quite as aggressive as a whole, perfectly matches the brilliance of 1000 Thoughts... while maybe even surpassing it (I've still not made up my mind on that point). Kekal continues to impress with their fine musicianship and creating song writing. Acidity will keep you on your toes whether the band rips a crazy guitar solo, lays down a funky jazz piece, utilizes an ambient-styled intro, or goes insane with blasting, double-bass, and black metal shrieking. I swear you don’t know whether to headbang, to dance like a fool...or both... More surprises on this album include the rejoining of Leo Setiawan to the band and the guest appearance of Jason DeRon (Altera Enigma, ex-Paramaecium). Kekal has once again created an album that is not for everyone. It won't be understood by 95% of current metalheads. But for those who love great metal by a band that is passionate about doing it right...Acidity is your album.

Kekal is een band waar menig mens hier nog nooit van gehoord zal hebben. De groep bestaat uit drie leden en is afkomstig uit Indonesie. Inmiddels bestaan de heren tien jaar en is dit 'Acidity' alweer de vijfde full-length. Met het eerdere werk ben ik totaal niet bekend en daarom is het verfrissend om deze band aan het werk te horen. Kekal bestempelt haar geluid als Prog/Avant Garde en ik kan me daar wel in vinden. De beste omschrijving van het gebrachte is waarschijnlijk dat je je een Black Metal stemgeluid moet voorstellen over een technische mix van virtuoos gitaarspel, ingewikkelde drumpatronen, rare breaks, daverend pakkende riffs en een kunde waar je U tegen mag zeggen. De diversiteit en techniek spat werkelijk van de plaat af en Kekal weet telkens het interessantste van verschillende stijlen Metal samen te voegen in een diep gelaagde mix. Een heel bijzonder album dat eigenlijk gewoon heel erg goed is. Menig band uit Europa mag zich nog wel eens achter de oren krabben bij het beluisteren van deze Indonesiers.

I was very curious as to the evolution of this Indonesian metal band, because the latest album I heard had progressive elements in the true sense, and challenging combinations, very new for the genre. The group build up this album like one symphonic piece, with all and even more varied elements. This time these different elements hang together even more logically, even with surprising breaks and rhythm changes they sound very natural. These elements are symphonic metal, heavy metal (more like early Iron Maiden), dark and brutal metal, even a few seconds of hiphop metal!, some gothic wave song orientation, a few seconds of jazzy melodies and improvisations, some pop song orientation with metal background, some details of progressive techno-electronic elements, with wild progressive rock, and some mad freakout theatrical avant-garde vocals, some guitar feedback ambience, and perhaps of few seconds of some Indonesian element. A successful release to listen to in one take. It's perhaps even more accessible than their 2003 masterpiece.

Prog black metal from Jakarta, Kekal, is back with “Acidity”; ten spacious ambient avant-garde tracks are offered as results of ten months studio works and collaboration with former guitarists and guest musicians. Certainly this follow up differ than their previous work “1000 Thoughts of Violence”. A commonsense to mature progressive band is to constantly experiment. Evolve or die! ...The opening track, “Characteristicon”, employs ear-abrasive chords as commonly played by the mighty prog metal Opeth in the beginning and ending parts along with double-kickdrum at face-melting speed. The choruses really like symphonic doom. Utilizing three lead guitars, Characteristicon explores the fretboard mastery stuffed bunch of harmony melodies into killer solos and fills. Being the heaviest track, “Charasteristicon” pretty much describes what Kekal is from the metal side. Followed with “Strength In My Weakness” Kekal continue trucking the heavy metal vibes at fast tremolo picking and double kick, but softer than “Characteristicon”, which is proper opening track... “A Dream For A Moment” is the light track restrains two chords riff recycled over and over in the beginning. Started with stereo panning effect, the track goes denser in the middle forward. The breakdown prior to chorus is great. Azhar playing his bass as a lead melody in chorus and prior to launching guitar solo. “Broken” reminiscent of Van Halen’s opening riff “Don’t Tell Me” boasts the heaviness of mammoth stepping fragile ground in slow motion. Carrying industrial techno-futuristic tunes of Massive Attack, the track became bigger than life by overlaying guitar distortion grande. Melancholic voices sung by Jeff are perfect match with the lyrics talking about loosing faith and yearning to get it back. Ah Geddy Lee’s singing in low register vocals! “The Way of Thinking Beyond Comprehension” is one of superb in both songwriting and editing capabilities. The track comprises multi-pattern cross-genres parts ranging from jazz to heavy metal riffing. The track ended with (to me like) enchanting Tibetan monks in Himalayan monastery spelling mantra “jing hard an jing again” (actually “think hard and think again”, I’m joking Jeff!) buildup into chaotic crowd. Jeff overdubbed 22 layers of his voices to create megamondo haunting and mystical a-capella, engraved the frontman’s skill as recording engineer fiddling around digital editing stuff. "Romantika Destruksi” is plain demonstration of Leo the shredder. There are clean guitar sounds with proper delay effect bursting Mediterranean passages and the swelling effect is cool, make the guitar chirping like a mourning seagull. “Blessing in Disguise” is just about perfect in time of sorrows... The album closed with “Empty Spaces”, a gloomy track longing for freedom. Basslines played by Azhar are nothing more but remarkable, especially in “A Dream For A Moment”, and a bit in “Envy and its Manifesto”. Some parts in breakdown/fills bass brought ahead to play lead minor scale; remind me to Marillion, along with their ambient vibe influence and speech declamation resemblance. Drumming is great exploding beat variation and double-kick thunders. The drummer doesn’t let cymbals, splash, bells and toms to shut up just a few seconds. Neil Peart just got balls of steel? Jeff’s voices diversity from soft melodious, melancholy to energetic irritating scream again made me think, this is Rush’s Geddy Lee goes psychotic insane. Not even close really, but Lee’s spirit remains intact there, and it’s good. Oh did I mention killer guitar solos? Dammit how many times I wrote the word “killer” here. Contains simpler riffing easy to remember than their previous “1000 Thoughts of Violence”, “Acidity” broaden the cross-genre border of progressivism far beyond. Less samplers/MIDI/electronica stuff (now they set as an ambient background mostly to create spacious atmosphere), less headbanging grind blasts yet intimidating thanks to bizarre, haunting chords, twisting and soulful solos. More intelligent, touchy, deeper thoughts and mature at the same time... Easy enough to listen yet challenging to feel and play, that’s what “Acidity” is all about. For those who like to see how the progressive band evolving out of the drift, then this album is the pinnacle documentary of their endless journey. After rolling the tape four-five times, I must admit I do like this album.

KEKAL is back with another album called "Acidity"... With almost eleven months spent in the making, "Acidity" without a doubt takes the longest production time in KEKAL's recording history, so far. To celebrate KEKAL's 10th anniversary in 2005, "Acidity", as officially said by the band, is designed to be a special reunion album with all their former members (plus their additional/live guitarist) contributed in the recording process, making KEKAL as a 5-piece band with 3 guitarists. Yes, they have 3 lead guitarists that all play solos, harmonies, and melody-rhythm interactions. Guitar takes the most dominant role here. "Acidity" is a guitar-based metal album. They also have the additional human drummer too. Gone are the machine-based drums, processed sounds and lots of synthesizers, samples, and effects as we hear in their previous album. Musically, I can see the significant RUSH influence in "Acidity". They do not sound like a RUSH clone band and they never tried to sound like RUSH either, but they hold the same spirit as RUSH once had during their golden era. Like those Canadian grandfathers of prog-rock, KEKAL always make a big step forward in every album and they never look back. They never afraid to take a risk. They always have something new to offer, something beyond our expectations. That is the true progressive spirit! "Acidity" is still a very metal album, but you cannot tell what kind of metal it is. This is not black metal, not death metal, not even progressive metal (if progressive metal means for bands like DREAM THEATER or SYMPHONY X), not nu-metal, not metalcore, and definitely not power metal. There is a term called "avantgarde metal" to refer to metal bands that don't match in any metal sub-genre because of their broad range of influences. KEKAL now falls under "avantgarde metal" term, but this is not another sub-genre of metal as the music style can be very very different between one avantgarde metal band and another. Compared with their previous album "1000 Thoughts of Violence" (2003), the music of "Acidity" is not miles away from that one as there are still influences from jazz, electronica, and 80's new-wave, BUT...... this one has a different approach to the songwriting and production. Almost a completely different approach. The recording is far more organic and live-oriented. It is different than the clinical/processed sound of "1000 Thoughts..." as this time the production has the power and energy of a live performance. Musically speaking, "Acidity" has more elements combined in the music, they have more metal in one side, but yet more jazz and rock elements in the other sides as well, and all those elements are mixed together into the songs that generally are not as complex as the previous album. So how could this be possible? The answer is in the feel of the songs... "Acidity" is not as brutal and violent as "1000 Thoughts...", and it is not near as dark too, so the room for other emotions are still open wide. Now you get songs that are easier and pleasant to listen, but still it's hard to study and to play them (once again, it's like RUSH formula, easy to listen, hard to play). That makes "Acidity" to be richer than "1000 Thoughts of Violence" even without the plenty of synthesizers, electronic beats and effects, and if you think "the richer the better", then "Acidity" is the best you can get. Overall, "Acidity" is a damn good album. Some will say this one is far better than "1000 Thoughts of Violence". A combination of advanced musicianship and the emotional content of the songs is the strong point of "Acidity". However, there is something missing for me, I miss all the strange effects, computer beats and analogue synthesizers, as they are not using those as much here as in "1000 Thoughts of Violence". But I do like the return of the screaming guitar solos, and now even to the MAX! Despite of the easy-listening tendency in most of the songs, "Acidity" doesn't always mean to entertain us in the first place. They have some songs that make us to think rather than to dance or to bang our head. If you look for only an entertainment, then go for something else. KEKAL creates ART with their music. So you have to see their music as a piece of art to appreciate it, not something that can entertain you in the first place.

First of all, I was wondering why this band was featured in this site as I understand that the band’s music has its roots on metal music. But when I received the sample tape from the band, I could see some flavors of prog in their music even though it’s not that much. I had to adjust my ears significantly when I first listened to their music since it’s very loud and noisy with lots of heavy guitar riffs and screaming voice. My prog mate told me that he could not bear listening to the music as it’s so loud. That’s probably the characteristics of any metal album, the louder you can make the better. Probably. If you do not favor metal, don’t ever purchase this album! ...By experience I have been listening more on symphonic prog / neo prog music such as Genesis, Yes, Gentle Giant, Kansas, ELP, King Crimson, Marillion, IQ, Arena, etc. My exploration to metal started sometime in 90s when I first listened to Dream Theater “Awake” and later I liked power metal bands such as Helloween, Blind Guardian, Kamelot, Stratovarious, Angra, etc. So, my view would be different with those of you who have grown with metal... If you do not favor metal, don’t ever think to purchase this album. Unless, you wanna have some change in your musical taste. If you have been insofar listening to Marillion, Arena, or IQ and never listened to Opeth, Symphony X, Evergrey, In Flames, Helloween, and the like, this is not for you. But, if metal music is already in your blood, you will enjoy this album. You can see obviously how the boys in the band approach the music composition of this album. You will agree with me that some tracks have been structurally composed with variety of styles that indicate the prog nature of the final product. Have you ever heard bands like Into Eternity or Freedom Call? Kekal is probably like those bands. Overall, this album has a tight composition that comprises strong songwriting and arrangements that produce nice harmony.

Ich gebe zu, dass auch ich längere Reviews oft nur überfliege, aber im Falle von KEKAL kann man sich kaum kurz fassen, denn sonst würde man ihren Veröffentlichungen nicht gerecht werden. KEKAL bieten auch auf der neuen Produktion viel Abwechslung und Neuerungen, die erwähnt werden müssen: Jason De Ron (ex-PARAMAECIUM, spielt jetzt zusammen mit Jeff Arwadi von KEKAL bei ALTERA ENIGMA) steuert zu 'Blessing In Disguise' einige wundervolle Lead-Gitarren bei und 'Acidity' könnte praktisch als Reunion-Album betrachtet werden, da wieder Gründungsmitglieder der Band ins Boot geholt wurden. Bei der Musik wurde mir zunächst ein wenig bange, als ich 'A Dream For A Moment' (mit über 3000 Downloads auf Platz 1 bei http://www.audiostreet.net ) hörte, denn ich liebe KEKAL für ihre Eigenständigkeit und vor allem wegen ihrer Knüppelsongs, und dieses Stück ist doch eher ruhig und progressiv ausgefallen. Doch bereits beim Opener 'Characteristicon' werden Zweifel ausgeräumt und man bekommt die volle KEKAL-Ladung serviert: Auf ein schräges, progressives Intro folgen die erhofften Knüppelparts, gepaart mit abwechslungsreichen, sehr gelungenen Solo- und Melodieparts und extremem Gesang. Also KEKAL pur - und dabei präsentieren sich die Indonesier auf ihrem fünften Studioalbum reifer denn je! Der Opener stellt, was das Songwriting angeht, einen KEKAL-Song erster Güte dar und die stetige Weiterentwicklung der Musiker ist ungebremst. Erstaunlich, wie viel Innovativität und Kreativität in Bandkopf Jeff Arwadi stecken. Wer ältere Reviews dieser Band verfolgt hat, wird schwer glauben können, dass sich KEKAL immer noch steigern können, aber so spielen sich KEKAL langsam aber sicher in die höchste Klasse extremer Musik (wo sie bereits heftig angeklopft haben). Mich konnte diese Band schon lange überzeugen, aber spätestens mit "Acidity" sollten auch die größeren Plattenfirmen auf diese geile Combo aufmerksam werden! 'Strength In My Weakness' ist ebenfalls eine äußerst gelungene, riffbasierte Nummer, die mit wahnwitzigen Instrumentalteilen den Hörer mitreißt und nach anderthalb Minuten Fahrt aufnimmt. Ein super Lied mit Parts, wie sie nicht viele Bands hinbekommen. KEKAL bringen dabei das Kunststück fertig, diese Teile wohlklingend aneinanderzureihen. Spätestens 'Thy Neighbor's Morality' bietet dann wieder musikalische Ausflüge in andere Gefilde und der experimentelle Anteil steigt an, aber nach dem Intro geht's wieder mit schreddernden Gitarren weiter. Der zweitlängste Song des Albums weiß zu gefallen und sollte Fans von anspruchsvoller und eigenständiger Musik aufhorchen lassen. Gerade im Bereich über sieben Minuten scheinen KEKAL sich erst richtig auszuleben und einen Rahmen für ihre Vielseitigkeit zu finden. 'A Dream For A Moment' ist dann so etwas wie der Kommerz-Song des Albums. Jedenfalls ist diese Nummer relativ ruhig gehalten und eingängig, aber deshalb auch nicht unbedingt repräsentativ, was auf der offiziellen KEKAL Homepage für sämtliche Songs dieses Albums gilt: "Every individual song cannot represent the whole album, but it stands as a part of the album's general concept." Mit 'Broken' ist noch ein ruhiges Lied am Start, das schöne Melodien aufweist und dessen Gitarrensolo gegen Ende an Bruce Franklin erinnert - dies ist bei TROUBLE-Fan Jeff Arwadi auch nicht allzu verwunderlich. Ein weiterer Höhepunkt ist die beinahe neunminütige Achterbahnfahrt 'The Way Of Thinking Beyond Comprehension', auch wenn - oder gerade weil - der Song etwa zweieinhalb Minuten ausschließlich Gesänge und Chöre enthält. Besonders geil ist die Keyboardeinlage von Hans Kurniawan, welche aus dem Jahre 1995 stammt und hier eingearbeitet wurde. Mit einer professionellen Produktion und der entsprechenden Promotion würden KEKAL sicher den Markt erobern, denn für "Acidity" gilt: Langer Hörspaß ohne Füller!

What a plus-plus appears to this album is the tone playing. It's quite cool when they play it into jazzy approach. You can catch it since the first track 'Characteristicon'. This time the band didn't play too much and it's more focus to the genre. The atmosphere is really driven through the black metal touch just remain in a few part of all songs. For progressive fans, this might be one of yours because it's unique and I would like to say that it's difficult to find some bands that similiar to KEKAL. My favorite tracks are 'Characteristicon' and 'Strength In My Weakness'. Quite complex and straight.
