The Road Ahead

So, what will I expect in the next upcoming days?

School's ending soon and the holidays are coming. Still working on my 3-week-assignment. The presentation is on this Thursday. And after that, me & my project buddies are gonna hang out and enjoy.

I'll be looking forward to working next week at Yazid's place. It's been long since we seen each other in work. And very, very long since cash entered my bank account.

Music Issues?

It's hard to concentrate on making & playing music now. Well, there's always plenty of time during the 6 week semester holidays.

My 2nd band is heading back to the jamming studio this Sunday. With a new lead guitarist. Well, I'm not so into playing lead. But I hope things would be okay with Assault & Nullified.

The EnsiKnights are still in the long slumber from playing music again (nightmares of schoolwork!). And I'm still working tunes & riffs on our original "Dark Life", lyrics by Idris. Knights newly planned covering a song from Orphaned Land. Exploring more into folk and world music, rather than just metal itself.



Changing Course...

After I have received this semester's results.

I.F.H AMMO Ver 4.0 [2 Weeks Late!]

Hello again y'll. Happy Valentines Day to you lovers... those waiting to be loved... and those who will be loved. I hate teen couples. I envy teen couples. Whatever you do in the public. Get off my sight. F*ck you lovers!

However, I'll be patient for my turn.

And I'll be frustrated waiting for so long. For now it's the music that keeps me alive. KEEP ROCKIN' & HEADBANGIN'!!!

New rules: No more countdowns. This is not MTV trl. Added band origin and the song year.

IYAN’S 5 HEADBANGER AMMOS

Helmet - Repetition
Year: 1990
Origin: USA
Genre: Alternative metal/Noise rock

















Prototype nu-metal band Helmet is too metal to be punk, and too punk to be metal. Nuff' said.


+ Very bouncy yet heavy moshpit track. I suggest you cover this if you're playing moshy punk music. Drop-D if possible.
+ The signature Helmet-bassline at the intro
+ After 00:11min, the guitar breaks in; mosh! mosh!!
+ Explosive staccato strums at the verse
+ Some traces of funk elements

- Repetitive. Ouh yea... the title says it so.
- The crappiest guitar solo ever. but who cares? i just wanna mosh to this!!


Headbanger's Meter: Very High

Finntroll - Aldhissla
Year: 2001
Origin: Finland
Genre: Viking/Folk metal




I hated this sort of metal when i first heard it during my eariler high school days. But now, I'm a die-hard finntroll fan! Jaktens tid is the trollish bible!

+ Atmospheric sound of the mountain winds at intro
+ One of the most epic folkish metal intros! Accompanied by the majestic tom drums and neat acoustic guitars.
+ Overall, solid & boundless powerful playing of drums
+ Drums double up speed steadily throughout the song
+ Some nice guitar-solo-meets-soprano interlude
+ Fades out with the soprano and mountain winds

- A downhiller to some extent


Headbanger's Meter: High

Twisted Sister - I Am (I'm Me)
Year: 1983
Origin: USA
Genre: Heavy Metal/Glam Metal













A reason to shout "BACK OFF!!" to those who oppose your music. Make them shut their mouth! This goes to you too Mr. "Mommy-I'm-A-Metalhead-But-Ure-Not" Unknown.


+ Soulful yet loud vocals by Dee Snider
+ Quote from the first sentence of the verse: "Who are you to look down at what I believe?!"
+ Old-school metal palm muting riff at the verse
+ Simple (two chords!) power-chords at the chorus. Cool.
+ Quote from the last sentence of the second verse: "Its my life i'm living, I'll live as I please!"
+ Nice solos. Positive & anthemic-styled; a radio-friendly kind
+ Conclusion: I'm just being myself and staying true to my own music. SO YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?


Headbanger's Meter: High

Accept - Balls to the Wall

Year: 1984
Origin: (West? East?) Germany
Genre: NWOBHM



There was a time when heavy metal is a giant rolling ball, squashing other puny genres like a bug.

+ Appeared both as one of 40 Worst & Best Metal Songs at VH1
+ Wicked guitar intro riff
+ Simple but neat power chords playing at verse and pre-chorus
+ Pre-chorus quote: "God bless ya!"
+ Harsher vocals at second verse
+ Awesome solo part.. followed by the low-choirs
+ Nice bassline solo at the bridge
+ An interlude quote: "Let's plug a bomb in everyone's arse!"

- Is the song about testicles...(??)


Headbanger's Meter: High

Coventide - Shadow Of The Moon
Year: 2006
Origin: Heartlands
Genre: Progressive Folk Metal, Black/Death Metal
















My choice of the best masterpieces ever, to came out from the mighty Druids.

+ A sorrowful but victorious; heroic kind of theme
+ Folkish acoustic intro
+ Heavy guitars enter in such an epic mode
+ Neat harmonies, some of coventide's superior specialities
+ Predominant use of folkish-scaling licks and descends
+ The main riff has that unforgettable guitar lick which shines in the portrait
+ Drums are awesome too. Blast-beats are vital here.

- Hmm... church organs? A bit weird...


Headbangers' Meter: Very High

Anggun Is A Model

Haiz... I'm really tired & annoyed talking to this "no-namer".. But I'll talk about a hot seductress on net name Ice Anggun.

After like 8 weeks.. She finally added me. And she called me cutee (heheh. hmm... cute with an extra 'e'?) Nura's tips to adding anonymous people on friendster really worked.

I'm the only guy friend she has, who's not naked in the profile picture (showing-off six-pacs and manly boobies).


Enjoy the pics guys...

Who the **** is Mr. Unknown?

Hello Hordes. This post is dedicated to you all! You guys rule!!

The insults on Unknown is a super smash boxoffice movie! I mean.. Smashing and boxing his face and something like that. I didn't know how he feels right now but I just don't care (and who does).

So who the **** is Unknown?

Hmm... Refering to his birth history.. He doesn't has any name (we can call him emo-ass, or "Mummy! Look, I'm a Metalhead!!").

When his slutty mother (gangbanged by 30 ugly guys) gave birth to him, she died 2 seconds after sh*tting him out. 5 seconds later, his dad (too gay to contribute a sperm) died of terror because he was too faint-hearted, looking at the sh*t coming out from that bitch.

The doctor was shocked till death too, upon discovering that Unknown has both male and female sexual organs. The nurse fell out of the window because she was laughing too hard.

Hence, no name was ever given to the poor illegitimate child. Or like the English call, bastard.

Stay tuned for the next life story of Unknown.

Next: Toddler Unknown learns (and still currently learning... man, he's dumb) the two words "Wankers" and "Posers". And also turns homosexual.
