Rehearsal 26/12/2011

For this rehearsal, we decided to give Mambang Studio a shot.

Actually it was the 2nd. The first was few months back when Amir was still in the fold. Reminded us how good this studio was and still among the best in Perak. What other studios offer a triggered drum?

Unfortunately, it is in Kampung Gajah which is a 1-hour drive. Mutilator has no problem since he live there. We spent a few hours in his house listening to his vinyl collections.

Then the members of Infernal Void came and brought us fried noodles. Poey the guitarist lent his nice Jackson to play with.

In action!

The compulsory band pose.

A nice guitar, look nice too!

Large space for practice.

Mutilator will get someone to do the paint on his bass.

Dr Bentara will not forget his GIBSON though.

Rehearsal 19th December 2011

For this session, we asked Necro-X to record our rehearsal. It was raw, dirty and full of mistakes. Because of this, we are contemplating of releasing it officially. And we will call it - Chucked For Life! How's that for a start?

 Dr. Bentara

 Pogie Mutilator

 Alan Azimuth

At Necro-X!

Rehearsal 5th December 2011

A month after, what happened?

Our hair grows so MUCH (with an exception to the drummer who managed to keep it short but we'll see).

 This is Nekro-X (studio owner - Neftaraka)

 Is that Jairo (ex-Sepultura) on the left?

 Japanese Metal!

Wait! Ain't Jairo supposed to play lead guitar? Why is he playing bass?

Rehearsal 28th October 2011

We rehearsed on a more systematic route. We tried to lock each parts of the song though we barely managed it. Still it was fun. We laughed at our mistakes.

 Pogie Mutilator on bass

 Dr. Bentara on guitar

 At some points, we were imagining we were playing in front of the crowds of 20K metalbangers!

 Alan Azimuth on drums

We got Meor & Zahrul (of the legendary SCUM) as our guests. No, they were not there just to watch. They were there to discuss on an important project that will involve DIED as well. Stay tuned!

Rehearsal 23rd October 2011

Yeah, we know. It has been almost two weeks since we last practice together. Dr. Bentara was busy on the last week. Somehow, we managed to gather again.

Good news. We now practiced all the 6 songs! Looking good! OK the songs are still titled in numbers. Like song no 1, 2 to 6. No lyrics yet. Not even song titles.

We started to play along with metronome now to prepare for the recording in December 2011.

Venue - Soundville Studio, Ipoh.

 Huge sound here at Soundville! Pogie Mutilator with Fender Jazz 5 strings. Yes, Dr. Bentara is wearing the DIED logo shirt.

 Alan Azimuth beating the shit out of this kit!

Cool aircond and cozy pratice room. What else do you need?

Special guests - Anba (who also did a nice cameo on vocal for the song Death By Leprosy) and Gbone (who took these pictures).

What about you? When are you coming?

Rehearsal 9th October 2011

It's rehearsal time again. The same venue. Pogie Mutilator brought his sister and brother in law as special guests. Not forgetting, the member of Kampung Gajah's finest, Dark Chronicles was also there with us.

No progress. We were stucked with the same songs as last week.

 Dr. Bentara and Pogie Mutilator posing for you!

 It's the old GIBSON Explorer that the Doctor love.

 6 string SPECTOR Legend. Power!

Sorry for the low quality photos. Someone has forgotten to bring the camera. We only used phone camera.

Rehearsal 3rd October 2011

We were so tied up with other things that we had to shift more than once, the time when we can practice. In the end, we managed.

We guessed that, no matter what, we have to practice at least once a week to sustain the momentum.

Tonight, we managed to play 3 new songs which are numbered 1, 3 and 4 (yeah, no titles yet). That's progress!

Dr. Bentara with a Strat, something that Chuck would never play with!

Pogie Mutilator with LTD bass.

Alan Azimuth (he was supposed to act naturally - playing drums - and not standing like that)

Also, a DIED banner at the back would look nice, don't you think?

DIED!!!

Rehearsal 27th September 2011

Rehearsing the song titled "1" since we don't have a title and lyrics yet.

But we also rehearsed the two tracks recorded for the Ipoh's Metal Militants Supremacist II compilation, Death By Leprosy and Only Deaths in Zombieland.

Venue - Warlord D. C. Studio, Seri Iskandar.

LTD Flying V and the rare Takamine bass (the same model used by David Vincent of MORBID ANGEL in the early 90s)
