BIOGRAPHY
Asphyxiate
was born to this hell pit in July 1998. Hailing from Bekasi, Indonesia,
it was started by the initial formation of Josh (Guitars), Dhana (Bass
& Vox) and Reno (Drums). In November 1998, Indra joined the horde
handling bass so Dhana could concentrate on his vocals. With this
formation, Asphyxiate played a few original songs and some covers from
Death Metal gods such as Suffocation, Deeds
of Flesh (old), Cryptopsy (old), Prophecy, Beheaded, etc. In the mid
1999, Deaddy joined to handle guitars. Sadly, Dhana got an accident and
passed away to join the Satan legion. Therefore, we decided to search
for a substitute, and soon, we were introduced to Heru (ex-Hypoxia) who
helped with additional vocals. Early August 2002, Heru was forced to
leave the band due to his uncompromised personal life. However, we were
grateful to have him and we really appreciate his contribution.
Temporarily, Josh took over the vocals for our debut "The Process of
Mutilation", released by Undying Music (Indonesia), which was then
re-released by Despise the Sun Records (Italy). To add, Asphyxiate also
appeared on some local and international compilation albums. End of
2003, we agreed on having just one guitarist and Deaddy, instead, took
over the vocals for Asphyxiate as we believed, and still believe that
his monstrous vocals really suits this band. Another accident struck us
again in early 2005, which forced some formation changes again, with the
entry of Atenk (Drums) and Erik (Bass). Unfortunately, this didn't
last, and as a result, we were glad to have Reno and Indra back to join
us in our journey to endless mutilation. In September 2007, again, Indra
left and fortunately, Adi came in. Consisting of this bunch of mother
fuckers, we did lots of shows and tours with both local and
international Death Metal sickos. Now we are done with writing our new
materials for our upcoming new album, which are just left with recording
planned to be released in early 2009. early 2009 we has signs with two
International Label: Despise The Sun Records (Italy) and Sevared Records
(USA), this co-production would be great step for Asphyxiate, the album
title, artwork, and release date will be announced soon.
After
passing through 13 years of brutal journey with us finally Deaddy
decided to resign from the band due to his work and preoccupations. We
have gone trough many gigs, we have share a same value in brutallity,
his dedication is without comparison, keep on sick and brutal my
brother.
Asphyxiate latest line up is Josh (Guitars & Vox), Adi (Bass) and Yogi (Drums).
