Info
Started out in 1995 as a more straightforward extreme metal band from Jakarta - Indonesia, Kekal entered the local scene with fresh ideas. Throughout the first 5 years, they developed their own style by incorporating many diverse elements from outside metal, but not until they released "The Painful Experience" (2001), their 3rd album which marked as a starting point for the band to step more and more into the progressive territory and started to make further experiments with their music.
In 2003, they released "1000 Thoughts of Violence", an album that has gained a lot of attention even beyond the Asian region due to the uniqueness of their music, combining elements of jazz-fusion, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, trip-hop, experimental electronic and ambient music, and blend them together into their own distinct style. Critics then started to cite Kekal among the finest independent avant-garde metal bands, and they toured Europe for the first time in 2004. In early 2005 they released their 5th album "Acidity".
After 10 years of existence as a band, Kekal decided to move forward and to come deep into musical territories yet unexplored by the band. Throughout the year 2006, Kekal was busy recording and shaping their 6th album entitled "The Habit of Fire", an ambitious project which marked a new statement for the band. "The Habit of Fire" is an experimental, but yet accessible, 70-minute epic concept album of 'urban avant-garde metal', with a liberal use of electronic elements and mix of countless musical sub-genres to accompany their trademark guitar-driven soundscapes. "The Habit of Fire" was released on May 15th 2007.
After almost 2 years in shaping and materializing expressions into a solid musical form, Kekal released their official 7th album "Audible Minority" in December 2008. As every album from Kekal shows a unique statement that is as strong as the band's determination, "Audible Minority" is not an exception. The title "Audible Minority" is based on the fact that the music on the album has mapped itself into the extreme minority status: something beyond recognition of the musical norms. "Audible Minority" is a stateless, nameless, and label-less manifesto made from all the bitterness and pain. The album that is entirely bleak, gloom and dark.
Kekal has achieved something that will be renowned for their own way to express themselves without setting the limits.
NOTE: In August 12, 2009, all key band members (Jeff, Levi & Leo) decided to leave Kekal, but the band itself still exists, albeit without active members.
