Gaijin

Tentang Musisi

GAIJIN is a Thrash Crossover band, which is a merger between Thrash Metal and Hardcore which was formed in August 2017 in Tasikmalaya - Indonesia. Departing from the anxiety of the vocalist & bassist, Aang The Great will continue his long musical career in the music industry, but in the end find his roots again. Since its inception until now, GAIJIN has several member changes. The reason is only one, we didn’t get the right member raise the GAIJIN’s flag yet. Until now, GAIJIN has had various show experiences, including DCDC SHOUTOUT DAY, TASIKMALAYA BERSATU, and our last national event, called ROCK CAMPUS #124 in Jakarta in September 2019. GAIJIN’s members: • AANG THE GREAT – Bass & Vocal • FEMI BENK – Guitar • ADI ADEW – Guitar • MESA BUGIE – Drum This first single, HYPOCRITES is our debut as a thrash metal band, to express our concerns about the current socio-political situation of our country. With English lyrics, we hope that not only local audiences will hear our message, but also the international community will understand what we mean. Apart from being included in the TASIKMALAYA KOMPILASI VOL.1 album (2017), this single has also been released in digital format independently (released in July 2020, by NETRILIS). The second single is called THRASHING MAD, this single give a portrait of GAIJIN’s existence in local metal community, which picturing that our path is being so hard to get attention again from the community, but we believe our hardwork will get paid soon, and also THRASHING MAD itself added to ROCK ON METAL BROTHERHOOD COMPILATION VOL.5 ( digital release on October 2020 by SUMMER VIBES). . The third single is called QUO VADIS UNITY, history based on a massive riot in our city on December 26, 1996….tell’s that greedy will destroying everything, covered with ethnic issues which made everyone of us burned down. Where’s Unity??? That’s our tagline in this single, which means that without unity, we can’t make all things happen for our own sake. This single is also released in PEACE NOW OR DIE #1 EXTREME COMPILATION (Soundlock Records) on December 2022, including many extreme bands around the world, such as Italy, Chzech, Ecuador, Philipines, Malaysia, Etc. The fourth single is called SOCIAL DISBELIEF, history based on a COVID19’s pandemic catastrophy. Which the jargon SOCIAL DISTANCING were made us sick and tired and we all know these are only lies, and we are controlled by a bunch of assholes. The fifth single is called DEVIDE ET IMPERA, history tells that these days our government has made a path to a total crisis. We feels that we’re only a bunch of firewood for their own feast, and we shouted at the teenagers to breakout and choose their leader candidates with a true heart and clear mind without any influence from anyone. The sixth single is called HANA NGUNI HANA MANGKE. The single writen with sundanese language, and sundanese musical instruments such as Karinding, Tarawangsa, and Beluk’s voices as a backsounds. Our ancient legend (amanat Galunggung) has told us that we have to stick to our heritage tradition, it’s describing that since long time ago sundanese people keep the tradition when there’s no future if there’s no past. Respect each other and the nature when we want theirs. If we run it well, there’s gonna be a good balance to our lives. Now, our singles can be streamed and downloaded on various national and international digital platforms. For our target in 2024, we hope that our EP will release and bring many magnificent projects. Hopefully…..
