NOXA Sukses Besar di Tuska Metalfest 2008, Finlandia




Good News From HELSINKI TIMES:

HEAVY WITH RELIGIOUS TIES

Indonesian band Noxa play grind core heavy metal which is very fast and technically demanding.

EVER HEARD OF Indonesian heavy metal? Being a heavy metal freak in a Muslim country is not necessarily the easiest lifestyle you can choose. The musicians of Noxa have chosen that life, however. Maybe a more peculiar fact about this band is that it consists of four different religions.
Oxen, the drummer, is an active church goer. Ade, the guitarist is a Muslim, actively practising his religion. Bass player Dipa is a Hindu, and singer Tony follows the ideas of Buddha.

What brings these guys together? They have all studied business at the Sahid University in Jakarta, they all hate corruption, greed and poverty, and they all want to express their feelings. And they want to show the rest of the world that people from different religions can put their strength together and fight the wrongs of the world. Now they will be at the Tuska Open Air in Helsinki in June.

We are to thank a strange incident for seeing this band in Finland this year. Ancelikh´ Kaspinen, a lady who has spent maybe half of her adventuring life in Asia, spotted Oxen at the Tuska festival a couple of years ago, counting his coins. Oxen told Ancelikh´ that he’d flown all the way from Indonesia to see the Tuska festival and another festival in France because he considered those to be the best in the world. His great dream was to play on stage at the Tuska festival.

Ancelikh´ started to do something about Oxen’s dream, resulting in it turning into a reality this year. Tuska will also be Noxa´s first gig outside Asia.

Noxa performs at Tuska Open Air held in Helsinki during
27-29 June.

     Institut Kesenian Jakarta adalah kampus yang banyak mencetak “gembel naik kelas.” Gembel-gembel yang kemudian sukses menjadi rockstars . Naif, Clubeighties, The Upstairs, The Adams, Rumahsakit hingga White Shoes & The Couples Company adalah beberapa di antaranya. Siapa sangka band-band tersebut awalnya ngeband karena iseng-iseng belaka? Oleh Wendi Putranto Foto Oleh Timur Angin “Tahun ini udah tiga kali kami reuni. Mudah-mudahan ini benar-benar reuni kami yang terakhir dan tidak ada reuni lagi di masa depan,” ujar Andri, vokalis Rumahsakit dengan nada datar seraya menurunkan stand mikropon yang terlihat agak ketinggian bagi dirinya. Para penonton yang mayoritas mahasiswa Institut Kesenian Jakarta [IKJ] hanya tersenyum saja mendengar ucapannya. “Sebelum ada Rumahsakit, musik di IKJ cuma Rolling Stones, The Doors dan Bob Marley,” puji Ricky MH Malau dan Jimi Multhazam usai Rumahsakit manggung. Dua orang berkarakter keras tersebut malam itu menjadi MC bagi acara Nostalgia di Pl

As drummer Jason Bonham hammered with the ghostly precision and ferocity of his late father, guitarist Jimmy Page fired dirty chunks of Chuck Berry and bassist John Paul Jones kept iron time with familiar reserve, singer Robert Plant sang the most obvious words of the night: "Been a long time since I rock and rolled." Overhead, images of a much younger Zeppelin, in concert during the early and mid-Seventies, flashed on a huge digital-video screen. In those films, Led Zeppelin were the biggest, loudest and m
