Coming together as PARAGON CARNIVORE in 2006, CARNIVORED's history
may be short but it's as troubled as the longest running death metal
band!
Seeing line-up changes and break-ups, since 2009 CARNIVORED have been
hitting the scene hard, making up for lost time – their debut album
"Revival" was finally released in 2012, blowing away listeners with its
catchy, chugging riffs and technical fret-abuse.
Releasing new song "No Truth Found" in January, that's just a taste
of the brutal death metal assault CARNIVORED will launch at OBSCENCE
EXTREME 2013.
Carnivored, a Death Metal band from Tangerang, Indonesia was
beginning since the end of 2006. It all started from the friendship of
four young people who are passionate in Death Metal music. They are
Hansen Fallah Matsuka who later became a Vocalist, Ario Nugroho later
became a Guitarist, Gilang Ramadhan later became a Bassist, and then
Geotama Riamputra later became the Drummer. The Carnivored name itself
was originated from a term PARAGON CARNIVORE which means "a perfect
carnivore". This name was later shortened to CARNIVORED, where the word
"Carnivore" means "a flesh-eater" and the additional "-ed" used to make
the meaning as "being carnivored”. Since it was first formed, Carnivored
started making some songs under the influence of Death Metal bands such
as: Decapitated, Vader, Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, etc, and managed
to record three pieces of the song entitled "Moral Degradation",
"Infinite Destruction", and "Death". Armed with 3 pieces of the song,
they began to perform stage to stage in a small and local underground
scene in Jakarta and the other surrounding areas. As the performing
became more intense and frequent in various stages, in the Year 2008,
Rottrevore Records (an Indonesian-based death metal record label) began
to know about the band’s existence and was interested in releasing their
first album. But the album process was not going smoothly. Some
obstacles came up, ranging from personnel changes that occurred several
times, until the other problems that forced Carnivored to being under
hiatus for about a year. In 2009, still with the same spirit to release
their first album, Gilang, together with Ario tried to rebuild the band
again, they started to look for personnel replacement to fill the empty
positions in drums and vocals. Then they invited Ronald (from One Shot
One Kill) and Oces (from Maia), and completing the formations of
Carnivored which consisted of Ario Nugroho as a Guitarist, Gilang
Ramadhan as a Bassist, Ronald Alexander Radja Haba as a Vocalist,
Rachmat "Oces" Mukti as a Drummer. With the new formation, Carnivored
got up and started exploring underground local stages in Jakarta and
other cities and also continued the process of their first album. In
2012 the Carnivored has been successfully released their debut album
entitled Revival under Rottrevore Record for Indonesian region only. The
album contained 10 tracks wrapped with a heavy ambience, aggressive and
catchy guitar riffs, and also using tight drum beats and vocal
patterns. In the middle 2012, Gilang had incurred due to the vision and
mission that are not in line with other members. Bass position
immediately filled by Arslan Musyfia (Funeral Inception and ex-Hate
Stroke). Now Carnivored, is preparing new material for a second album
which is planned to be worked perekamannya March 2013. As a form of
