I love all Kekal discography, but there are some favorites and that demo collection are one of them.
a very worthy album to be added in the collection.
Despite to be a "demo" collection, their music is so well done, so complex and really dark. One important recording inside my own world of the Black Metal. Favorite track: Kebangkitan Orang Mati (1995 demo).

about
Collection of early demos - remastered
Kekal started its journey in August 1995 and recorded its very first limited demo cassette (only 20 copies duplicated) in November 1995. In 1996, the band recorded more songs on 3 separate sessions in the months of January, April, and June. Their June 1996 session recording was "officially" released as a proper demo-tape (500 copies were duplicated and sold/traded/given-away) and published with the title "Contra Spiritualia Nequitiae", which enabled the band to be known outside the local Indonesian territory. Through underground tape-trading circuits, the demo cassette was distributed in many Asian countries and went as far as to Western and Eastern Europe, and North and South America. All the demos were self-produced, recorded and mixed only through a Fostex X-28H 4-track cassette machine in Jeff's bedroom without any aid of professional gear.
In 2004, Indonesian underground label THT Productions (under its sub-label Kvlt Records) released the compilation of the early demos in limited CD-R with the title "Spirits From The Ancient Days", with added 2 re-recorded songs as bonus.
In Year 2020, 25 long years after the formation, the band finally agreed to re-publish their demos for the first time in digital format, completely remastered digitally by Jeff Arwadi, and compiled together with the new title "Primal Spirits Of The Immortal". This release is pure underground and being distributed exclusively through Bandcamp for digital download and streaming (will NOT be published on mainstream/corporate streaming platforms).
The limited-edition physical format in cassette tape is released by Depressive Illusions Records and can be purchased here: depressiveillusions.com/items/tape/black-metal-pagan-metal-blackgaze/kekal-primal-spirits-immortal
Any Kekal enthusiast who is interested to hear the band's early work, this release can't be missed.

-
Influential album from a very influential, albeit underrated, band back in the 80s. If you like the Piggy-era Voivod, you need to listen to this!
go to album -
Hako Yamasaki is a singer-songwriter from Japan with songs & singing that can speak directly to your soul! Only a few in the world that are able to do that. This is her 1975 debut album, remastered.

It's a cool journey. Beautiful atmospheric blackened doom ambient combo. Sometimes like Pink Floyd playing funeral doom. Hypnotic album from Hypnotic Dirge records. Wow!
go to album -
Melted Bodies recruit pals like Machine Girl, Fire-Toolz, Xiu Xiu & others to remix the trippy tracks from their last LP.
go to album -
Blinding, cinematic black metal with rich layers of synth make for an album sweeping in scope and punishing on impact.
