This is the list of ten best metalcore bands from my country, Indonesia.
I made this list depending on my own personal taste of metalcore genre.
I do not know how popular they were in Indonesia but I choose them from
their music quality. I also include some latest information from each
band based on their official networking sites. And these are them.
Vision Eyes (Herza Nugraha - Vocals, Mael - Guitars, Reza Budi Satria -
Guitars, Ardi Triansyah - Bass, Darwin Mulyawan Nasution - Drums) formed
in 1999 as a hardcore band in Jakarta, Indonesia. But then they decided
to play metalcore music after formed for several years. They have some
fantastic songs and great sounds on their music. The best album that
they ever made is "Glorious Evolution" in 2010. All the tracks from that
album are awesome. In 2012 they will release their new album titled
"Insigna". If you are one of As I Lay Dying fans, I recommend you to
listen to them. If you want to listen to their music click this link

This is the next best metalcore band from Bandung, Indonesia. They call
their name as Last Redemption (Arind - Vocals, Agy - Guitars, Sandy -
Guitars, Adit - Bass, Hasbi - Drums) . They formed in early 2005. They
combine some new elements from European and American metal bands, such
as In flames, Soilwork, All That Remains, and etc. In my opinion the
best song that they ever have is "The Unrest Heart". If you want to know
them and listen to their music please click this link

8. Inwise
Inwise (Izal-Bass, Zujfi-Guitars, Icky-Guitars, Fahmi-Vocals, Gema
Drums) is the great choice for you if you are a real metalcore fans.
They formed in Bandung, Indonesia on early 2008. This band is my
favorite one. They have some unique songs, which combined by some
unfamiliar patterns that rarely heard before. For you all one of August
Burns Red fans I recommend you this band. They sound pretty similar with
ABR. I like all of their tracks, but one of my favorite tracks is
"Sense Fails". This is their purevolume official site

This one also come from Bandung, Indonesia. Nemesis (Rangga - Vocal,
Sendy - Guitar, Yodi 'jod's' - Guitar, Regha - Bass, Ridwan 'dei' -
Drum) formed on 2007 as one of metal bands in Bandung. They came as the
extraordinary metal band in 2008 since they won as one of 10 finalists
in an Indonesian independent music festival. As the result their song
"About Eve" was involved in the compilation and spread all over

6. Parau
Parau (Ghigox-Vocals, Onche-Bass, Gusde-Guitars, Krisna-Guitars,
Kharisma-Drums) is one of the greatest Bali Bands. They formed on early
2002 in Bali, Indonesia. They play metalcore music and combine it with
some elements of death metal. "Somatoform" the latest Parau's album got a
great attention from all the metalheads of Indonesia. Their songs are
very wild. They play in a good speed and power. They also release their
new video clip titled "Torture Without Reprieve", I recommend you to
watch it later. That video clip is awesome. If you want to know them

This is another sick metalcore band from Bandung, They called Aftercoma
(Wyl-Vocals, Ridho-Guitars/Vocals, Ferry-Guitars, Didik-Bass, Uus-Drums)
which formed on early 2008 in Bandung. Their music is original. They
bring the fresh sound of metalcore, combine with a good clean vocal and
wild lyrics in some of their songs. "Breathless" Their latest album is
the best album that I ever heard from a new local band with a good sound
quality. One of my favorite track is "Berontak". If you want to know

Infamy (Ajie-Guitars, Egi-Drums, Andri-Vocals, Monodark-Bass) formed in
Bandung 1994. They were one of the pioneers of metal music industry in
Bandung. They come again in the early 2010 with their sick album titled
"Hatremonial". The materials of their album are incredibly perfect. All
the tracks are awesome. If you like the extreme sound of vocal and speed
beat of metalcore drumming I recommend you to have that album. If you

Here we go to the big three. Down For Life (uncompleted research for
their member) come from Solo, Indonesia. They are formed on 1999, in
Surakarta, Solo, Indonesia. Their latest album "Simponi Babi Neraka "
which released in early 2007 were sold for 1000 copies. Their music is
quite extreme. Combining their lyrics with extreme beats they will bring
your head up and down, banging heavily. Their best track is "Pasukan
Babi Neraka", but all over their songs are fantastic. They are preparing
for their new album titled "Simponi II : Hymne Perang Akhir Pekan"
which will release on 2012. If you want to listen to their songs you can

1. Burgerkill
This band is the greatest one I think. Burgerkill (Vicky-Vocals,
Eben-Guitars, Agung-Guitars, Ramdhan-Bass, Andris-Drums) formed on 1995
in Bandung, Indonesia. Why I choose Burgerkill as nummber one because
they have a great music quality, skill, and achievement. They come as a
different metal band. I can't compare their similarity with the other
bands. Burgerkill's latest album "Venomous" contains with some great and
undefinable songs. Their songs is different. They're involving some
strange pattern in some of their songs, but that sounds really cool and
rude. They're also preparing for their Official footage DVD which will
release on early 2012. To listen to them you can click this link
