KEKAL - Acidity (2005)
Album Overview:
5th full-length studio album from KEKAL.
"Acidity" album has lots of different emotions and thoughts displayed both in the music and lyrics. You will experience everything from fast extreme songs, mid-paced progressive-laden rock/metal, some slower atmospheric symphonic metal, and also some unique experimental pieces. Every individual song cannot represent the whole album, but it stands as a part of the album's general concept.

Some of Media Reviews:
Is there such a thing as justice in the extreme metal biz? If so, this extreme prog/BM outfit ought to be snapped up by a 'major' extreme metal label, have the metal press fighting over them for interviews and see their baby flying off record distributors' shelves anytime now. If not, lets say it'll be the metal world's loss if this offering slips by unnoticed, for Kekal piss all over 99 percent of their rivals. The Indonesian quintet's fifth full-length is a stunning, sophisticated, inventive, varied and powerful blend of ambient avant garde, jazz, post-black metal and extreme prog (the kind that does what it's supposed to, ie: progress). The musicianship is technical and flawless, three guitars allowing for exceptional depth, texture and interest brought about by contrasting parts, from discordant, aggressive onslaughts to atmospheric, 'watery'-sounding arpeggios. Dissonant synths add a slightly sinister touch, while quirky grooves, soaring melodies, fluid solos and versatile vocals further add to the 'wow' factor. Brilliantly corrosive stuff!

Now Indonesia at the row is more exactly said, to Kekal. Whereby Kekal are however no beginners, but with "Acidity" their already-released fifth album. One hardly believes it, but the roots of these Quintets lie in the Black Metal. If comparisons must be drawn, only more conditionally at the voice. But back to "Acidity". This album is everything but simple. The opener "Characteristicon" is progressive already from start to finish. "Strengh in My Weakness" pleases me at first attempt. Mad Riffing paired with crude Vocals is the prescription, which brings me here even with the whip. Kekal are different than the others. After five albums those are young brought in team and their musical homeland long found. This lies in avant-garde song structures and chaotic outbreaks, on the other hand in addition, in unusual structures. The first run of "Acidity" resembles a march with naked feet on fragments of glass! But with the time, this album grows enormously and is opened, at least to me, perfectly. "Acidity" is the perfect album, in order to energize the brain for thinking. This happens much too rarely in our music scene. Kekal are moved and ingeniously at the same time. "Acidity" is for me one of the best albums of the current years!

Translated from German
Extreme metal from Indonesia stays strange in our eyes, but Kekal convinced us allready with earlier releases. Same as the band Sigh from Japan, Kekal uses a basis of black metal, but they dare to use really anything else to experiment and end up with a bizare, very catchy and original cd. The violent opener 'Characteristicon' shows some Iron Maiden influences and flirt with some progrock notes, but thats just a hint to show you what will come. Kekal isn't even scared to use a good part of Rush and you can notice this in some vocal parts, where it looks that Geddy Lee himself shows up behind the mics. Bizarre and really not common, but this type of challanges do we like very much, if I am honest. Typical black metal transfers by modern sounding crunchy riffs to laidback pieces with jazzy keys, ending up a bit later in a complete violent and unpredicted way. It takes some listenings before you can follow the songs and start to like them, but thats always with the cd's you will like the most... if you are a real musicfreak. Give it at least a chance, it won't point you down.
