Kekal from Indonesia was formed back in 1995. Their first album ‘Beyond The Glimpse Of Dreams’, released in 1998 by Sonic Wave, sold directly over 5,000 copies. And so Kekal became one of the most important bands in the Asian scene. Right from the beginning Kekal created their own sound. Their mix of black-metal with classic-metal guitar-riffs and drum ‘n bass made them unique worldwide. For example: Kekal was even influenced by artists such as Enya and Rush. The story continued in 1999 with the release of ‘Embrace The Dead’, two years later followed by ‘The Painful Experience’ (CATALOG # FD005). This was the first album released by the Holland based label Fear Dark. After doing a split-cd with the leading Dutch dark/black metal band Slechtvalk, Kekal started working on ‘1000 Thoughts Of Violence’ (CATALOG # FD011). This album gave them their final breakthrough, selling over 1,000 copies within the first month in Indonesia only! All important European music publication wrote awesome reviews and many (like Aardschok and Mindview) wrote articles about Kekal. Their success made it even possible to do their first European tour through Holland, Germany and Sweden. Now the Indonesian masters of extreme metal returns with ‘Acidity’ (CATALOG # FD016), their long awaited new album. Again Kekal improved themselves by using influences from classic metal to emo-core, black metal and even progressive rock. Never repeating, always competing: Kekal – Acidity!
