The rotor itself was formed in 1992 after guitarist cabutnya Sucker Head, Irvan Sembiring who felt the concept of Head Sucker music when it was still less extreme for him.
The spirit that brought its predecessor is still struggling pattern .. old school tradition ', proud to be the band's cover versions! Among them all, only the lucky can Roxx recordings for their first single, "Rock echoed." This happens because they are one of the finalists Rock Festival-Indonesia to Se-V.

Scene Punk / Hardcore / Brit / Indie Pop
Invasion music grunge / alternative album and the release of the Sex Pistols Kiss This in 1992 was enough to trigger a powerful tool in the birth of new bands that do not play metal music. For example, Aer Pestol bands of the early community of Young Offender their work often cover the Sex Pistols' songs complete with dress-up punk and mohawknya haircut. Uniquely, the next trip, circa 1994, Pestol Aer then change the direction of their music into the band that brought the genre of british / indie pop a la the Stone Roses.

Bandung scene
In Bandung, around early 1994 there were legendary music studio that became the forerunners of underground rock scene there. Reverse his name studios located in the area Sukasenang. The establishment of this studio was conceived by Richard Mutter (then drummer PAS) and Helvi.

For indie bands, the venue is like a sacred building full of magical power. Band anywhere outside Bandung .. if not in baptism 'here yet Afdhal taste. Artifacts subculture of Bandung's most legendary underground this is a main witness some phenomenal rock show like Hullabaloo, Bandung Bandung noisy until Underground. The number of spectators each events over relatively spectacular, between 5000 - 7000 spectators! Ticket entry only to be traded with all the fantastic price by the middlemen. Maybe this is a separate record of unsolved to date in Indonesia to show the size of underground rock.
Had dubbed as a barometer of underground rock in Indonesia, Bandung is a city that offers a million clever ideas for the progress of the national scene. Distributions boom that swept across Indonesia today also pioneered by the city. The success selling indie album in the tens of thousands of pieces that the band experienced Mocca also originated from this city.

Scene Surabaya
Underground rock scene in Surabaya began with growing-development wing of independent bands death metal / grindcore around mid-1995.

After the event, each band was then agreed to set up an organization called the Independent. Base camp of the organization formed as a forum for unifying purpose and means of dissemination of information among musicians / underground metal bands of this time was concentrated in areas Ngagel Mulyo or rather in the band's studio Retri Beauty (death metal band with all its personnel are women, now RIP - Red) . Members of the organization which is the origin of the formation of underground metal scene in Surabaya is deliberately limited to only about 7-10 bands only.
Plan for Independent first time it is underground rock concert held at Youth Park, but this plan failed because of busy consolidating at the scene. After getting clear and begin growing underground metal scene in Surabaya in late December 1997 the Independent organization officially disbanded. This work is done by extending the network to the less-insulated bulkhead or become fragmented communities.
In the last period before the dissolution of an independent organization, the division recorded their record label had released several albums of the bands death metal / grindcore Surabaya. For example debut album titled property Slowdeath "From Enthusiasm to Sordid Mindless Self-Destruction" (September 96), Dry debut album titled "Under The Veil of Religion" (97), Brutal Torture "Carnal Abuse", Death "Cemetery of Celerage" until the debut album's Inside Fear titled "Mindestruction".

The event was classified as less successful because at the same time also held an event black metal.Unfortunately, this is also followed by stagnation MANGLED Zine POST cultivation process that does not go out the latest edition to date.

Berkonsernya two international metal supergroup in Indonesia, Sepultura (1992) and Metallica (1993) contributed significantly to the development of metal bands of its kind in Indonesia. Not long after Sepultura successful "burn" the Jakarta and Surabaya, speed metal band Roxx released self-titled debut album under their Blackboard label.

Similar media which in turn is more consistent rise in Jakarta, among others, Morbid Noise zine, Guerilla zine, Rottrevore zines, zines and Cosmic forth.
29 September 1996 signaled the beginning of a new era for the development of underground rock in Jakarta. Exactly on that day indie music event held for the first time in Poster Café. The event named "Underground Session" is held once every two weeks working at night. Café owned by legendary rocker geeks Ahmad Albar is a lot of giving birth and raising of new indie music scene that played different music genres and more varied.

Scene Punk / Hardcore / Brit / Indie Pop
Invasion music grunge / alternative album and the release of the Sex Pistols Kiss This in 1992 was enough to trigger a powerful tool in the birth of new bands that do not play metal music. For example, Aer Pestol bands of the early community of Young Offender their work often cover the Sex Pistols' songs complete with dress-up punk and mohawknya haircut. Uniquely, the next trip, circa 1994, Pestol Aer then change the direction of their music into the band that brought the genre of british / indie pop a la the Stone Roses. That said, this historic event later became a significant moment for the development scene british / indie pop in Jakarta.

Initial generation of Brit pop scene, these include the band's Hospital, Wondergel, Planet Earth, Orange, Jellyfish, Squeeze Hair, Room-V, Parklife until Death Goes To The Disco.
Aer pistol was not the first punk band, this capital city in 1989 had given birth punk / hardcore pioneers antiseptic that often plays the numbers of Black Flag, The Misfits, DRI until the Sex Pistols. Lukman (Waiting Room / The Superglad) and Robin (Sucker Head / Noxa) is an alumnus of the band as well.

In addition, in early 1990, Jakarta also print punk rock band The Idiots who originally duets cover songs of The Exploited. Not much different from the antiseptic, the new nine years later, The Idiots released their debut album titled .. Comfort Living In Anarchy 'via indie label Movement Records.

Bandung scene
In Bandung, around early 1994 there were legendary music studio that became the forerunners of underground rock scene there. Reverse his name studios located in the area Sukasenang. The establishment of this studio was conceived by Richard Mutter (then drummer PAS) and Helvi. When growing Reverse then expanded its business withopen distro (acronym of distribution) that sells CDs, cassettes, posters, t-shirts, and various other imported accessories. Apart from distribution, Richard also formed an independent label that releases his first 40.1.24 in 1997 is a compilation CD titled "Masaindahbangetsekalipisan." Indie bands who participated in this compilation include Burger Kill, Puppen, Papi, Rotten To The Core, Full of Hate and Waiting Room, as the only band from Jakarta.
Bands that had been raised by community Reverse include PAS and Puppen. PAS itself in 1993 to carve history as the first Indonesian band released the album independently. Mini album titled "Four Through The SAP" 5000 sold out cassette in a short amount of time. Mastermind who gave birth to the idea of releasing an album independently PAS is a (late) Samuel Marudut. He was Music Director Radio GMR, a rock radio station in Indonesia who often play a recording demos amateur rock bands from Bandung, Jakarta and surrounding areas. Tragically, in early 1995 Marudut found dead lifeless at the residence of Krishna Sucker Head in Jakarta. Surprisingly, this death, according to Krishna, accompanied by the song The End of the album Best of The Doors who played the tape in the room Krisna. Meanwhile Puppen formed in 1992 is one of the local hardcore pioneers who until his death in 2002 had released three albums namely, Not A Pup EP (1995), MK II (1998) and Puppen s / t (2000). Pure Saturday followed by a self-titled album. The album was later assisted his promotion by O Magazine. Cubic also experienced the same thing, by way of a bonus cassette 3 songs before the release of his album.
Slightly to the east, still in Bandung as well, we'll find a community that became the epicenter of underground metal in there, Berung Edge community. Formerly in this area could stand a lot of meritorious Studio Palapa raise underground rock bands body types, Forgotten, Sacrilegious, Sonic Torment, Morbus Corpse, Tympanic Membrane, Infamy, Burger Kill, and so forth.

Similarly, the ska scene that actually existed long before the big ska trend. Bands like Noin Bullet and Agent Skins have long brought the genre of this music.
Anyone who has witnessed the underground rock concert in Bandung would not forget the famous Saparua GOR to the various corners of the country. For indie bands, the venue is like a sacred building full of magical power. Band anywhere outside Bandung .. if not in baptism 'here yet Afdhal taste. Artifacts subculture of Bandung's most legendary underground this is a main witness some phenomenal rock show like Hullabaloo, Bandung Bandung noisy until Underground. The number of spectators each events over relatively spectacular, between 5000 - 7000 spectators! Ticket entry only to be traded with all the fantastic price by the middlemen. Maybe this is a separate record of unsolved to date in Indonesia to show the size of underground rock.
Had dubbed as a barometer of underground rock in Indonesia, Bandung is a city that offers a million clever ideas for the progress of the national scene. Distributions boom that swept across Indonesia today also pioneered by the city. The success selling indie album in the tens of thousands of pieces that the band experienced Mocca also originated from this city. Even Burger Kill, Indonesia hardcore band who first signed a contract with a major label, Sony Music Indonesia, also grew up in this city. Not to mention the magazine Trolley (RIP) and that seemed to be a reincarnation Ripple Aktuil in the present, remain loyal to provide coverage for the largest share of local indie bands cool kind of coil, Cubic, Balcony, The Bahamas, Blind To See, Rocket Rockers, The Milo , Teenage Death Star, Communal until the SIGIT Please check webzine Bandung, Death Rock Star (www.deathrockstar.tk) to prove it.

Scene Surabaya
Underground rock scene in Surabaya began with growing-development wing of independent bands death metal / grindcore around mid-1995. The history of the formation originated from Surabaya Expo event (sort of in DKI Jakarta Fair - Red) where underground metal bands such as, Slowdeath, Torture, Dry, Venduzor, Bushido gig at a music event in the event.
After the event, each band was then agreed to set up an organization called the Independent. Base camp of the organization formed as a forum for unifying purpose and means of dissemination of information among musicians / underground metal bands of this time was concentrated in areas Ngagel Mulyo or rather in the band's studio Retri Beauty (death metal band with all its personnel are women, now RIP - Red) . Members of the organization which is the origin of the formation of underground metal scene in Surabaya is deliberately limited to only about 7-10 bands only.
Plan for Independent first time it is underground rock concert held at Youth Park, but this plan failed because of busy consolidating at the scene. After getting clear and begin growing underground metal scene in Surabaya in late December 1997 the Independent organization officially disbanded. This work is done by extending the network to the less-insulated bulkhead or become fragmented communities.
In the last period before the dissolution of an independent organization, the division recorded their record label had released several albums of the bands death metal / grindcore Surabaya. For example debut album titled property Slowdeath "From Enthusiasm to Sordid Mindless Self-Destruction" (September 96), Dry debut album titled "Under The Veil of Religion" (97), Brutal Torture "Carnal Abuse", Death "Cemetery of Celerage" until the debut album's Inside Fear titled "Mindestruction". In the following years of underground metal in Surabaya then flooded by the release of an album-release of Growl, Thandus, Holy Terror, Kendath until Pejah.
Instead of an Independent and then formed Surabaya Underground Society (SUS), right on New Year's Eve 1997 on the campus of the University of 45, during an event held amok I. It was in Surabaya also has many new bands popping up with the flow of black metal music. One of the old death metal band that is, dry and then move the concept along with the swift music black metal music influence in Surabaya at that time.
Only last approximately a few months, SUS in the same year hit by the split in it. Band-wing black metal band then split up to form a new container called Army of Darkness which has a base location in the area of Karang Rejo. In contrast to the black metal, death metal bands subsequently decided not to join to form a new organization.Subsequently in September 1997 event was held at IKIP Surabaya amok II. The event was later recorded their own history as the most successful event in Surabaya at that time. 25 bands death metal and black metal show since morning till evening and watched by approximately 800-1000 people. Ghosts, black metal band from Bekasi also perform at events such as the band's invitation.
Extreme metal scene in Surabaya at that time was mostly dominated by bands of black metal than death metal / grindcore. They are also more intense in the organization of musical events because of the large amount of black metal black metal band that appears. Noted black metal then a successful event held in Surabaya like Army of Darkness I and II.
Exact date of June 1, 1997 established a community of 178 INFERNO underground headquarters is located in the Dharma Husada (Jl. Prof. DR. Moestopo, Red).

Metal fanzine community origin INFERNO 178, Surabaya named POST MANGLED first published at that time in the event I HIGH VOLTAGE at Airlangga University campus with the appearance of bands punk rock and metal. The event was classified as less successful because at the same time also held an event black metal.Unfortunately, this is also followed by stagnation MANGLED Zine POST cultivation process that does not go out the latest edition to date.
So, to anticipate the occurrence of stagnation or information gaps in the scene, was born later LINE HARDWARE first Newsletter published in February 1999. Newsletter with photocopied format that has the number 4 page that extensively covered the various activities of underground metal music, punk to HC not only in Surabaya, but more broadly. According to their positive response was more to come precisely from outside the city of Surabaya itself. Somehow, they think the public underground rock in Surabaya less appreciative and minimal support for an independent publication types fanzine or newsletter.

Division of INFERNO 178 indie labels at least until about 10 release of the album still use the name of the Independent as their label name.

Bands and new communities are emerging to offer a more diverse musical styles. Trend vying indie label released an album of local bands are also encouraging, at least this is a useful effort to documenting the history of the decades ahead.
What is interesting now is the dominance of the use of idioms .. indie 'and not the underground to define a non-mainstream music scene locally. Had the polemics and debate klasikmengenai term indie or underground .. 'is in the homeland. Some people view the term underground .. 'increasingly biased because in reality more days more and more underground bands that .. a sell-out', whether it's contracted a major label, change the style of music for the sake of business or sold the album to sell tens of thousands of pieces. While some prefer to use idioms because more .. indie elastic 'and for example, more friendly for the bands that do not play a style of extreme music. Despite the impressing more compromise, the term indie is recently also increasingly being used by the national mass media, far abandon the term orthodox .. underground 'was earlier.
Amid the debate he called indie / underground, major label or indie label, hundreds of newly born band, dozens of busy-busy indie label released an album, thousands distro / clothing shop opened across Indonesia. Infrastructure non-mainstream music scene is also becoming established from day to day. They seemed not to care anymore with the polarization of the indie-major label even less substantial. Playing music as freely as possible while having fun is more of a commander .. 'now.
... And history is still in the making here ... ..
