Poor Best
mortal scream lineupAt the beginning of 1994, when death metal & grindcore music began to stab their sharp fangs and reigned the throne of thrash metal as the heaviest music on Indonesian ground, there was borne one of death metal / grindcore seed in Jogjakarta namely Mortal Scream. After long silent years, Mortal Scream awakens from burial ground in “Bloodstain”, the 2005 album as 1997 follow up, Perennial Remains.

The article was submitted by Vincent from Mortal Scream. BugJet didn’t make up major changes except refining some typos.

In the beginning Mortal Scream consisted of Gendon (bass / vocal) and Tommy (guitar), former members of Necromancer, Dee (drum), former member of Suffercation, and Amy (guitar). Soon after Dee quitted the band, his position was filled by Dodi (Traxtor's drummer) as additional player. Several stage actions from one campus to the others were successfully done with the presence of Dede as the lead vocalist and Benny (former Predator) as the new drummer. Mortal Scream started to be a solid band playing cover songs from Napalm Death with the new coming of Adjie (former Satanizer) who has replaced Dede.

As time went on and they got more experiences, Mortal Scream started to create their own songs by using death metal / grindcore concept. Since there were several reasons in study from their personnel, the formation of Mortal Scream finally changed in the middle of 1994: Gendon (bass), Benny (drum), Adjie (vocal) and the duo-guitarist Astra (former Abunazer) and Yusup.

One year later, Gendon doubled the vocal position momentarily since Astra and Adjie quitted, until the presence of Gogor (former Spermator) as lead vocalist and Ucok on guitar.

mortal scream band lineupThe changes of formation that happened several times was so tiring, and began better at the beginning of 1997 when Mortal Scream changed the formation into : Gendon (vocal), Benny (drum), Eko (guitar) and Vincent (bass), both were former Medelline, plus Trek (Trasher's guitarist) as additional player. They also had some changes in their music style. They started to produce several new songs and rearranged their previous songs using a new concept which mixed the styles of Suffocation, Malevolent Creation and Monstrosity as their influential bands. 8 songs was collected and would be released as an indie album entitled "Perenial Remains" in 1998, which consisted of some songs like Unholy Blasphemy, Horrible Destiny, Carnage Of Innocence, Spawn Of Deception, Mythological From Knowledge, and Advocatus Diaboli. But because of imperfect mixing process and some financial reasons, the record just became a demo / promo tape to be distributed in limited number.

mortal scream bandTour in some cities in Java and Bali kept going until Benny finally resigned for his occupational reason, and at the beginning of 1999 Chris (former No Racist) showed up as new drummer replacing Benny, who had been 5 years with Mortal Scream. It took almost a year for the new drummer to adapt himself with the band. As the band gained more experience and with the influence of new drummer, Mortal Scream got a few changes too in their music style. This formation produced some new songs like Faceless Demise, Mentally Disturbed, and Embodiment of Rebellious Face.

But once again there was personnel change in 2003, after Eko quitted for his business, until the end of 2003 the band did not have guitarist at all since Oki could not stay for long in this formation. At the beginning of 2004 the band got active again since Trek (former Trasher) came back to Mortal Scream, and they got more focus by writing new materials for a very long delayed first album record.
