Saprosoul, sebuah band melodik black metal dr Brunei. Tak banyak yg aku tahu pasal band ni. apa yg buatkan Saprosoul terpilih utk webmetal kali ni, sbb tak ade lagi band dr Brunei yg dapat liputan dr webmetal ni. itu aje.
tapi sayangnya tak banyak yg dapat aku paparkan kat sini. kulit demopun aku tak ade. sbb lamanweb mereka mcm siul. byk tak berfungsi.
ada setengahnya tak siap lagi. bukutamupun tak boleh nak bukak. mmm... jadi cukuplah sekadar yg ada ni. kalau tak caya cuba lawat laman ni Saprosoul
interviu yg aku dapat nipun dr zine maelstrom666 (thailand). aku alihbahasa sikit. senang nak paham.
...From the land of unexpected treasure, a new born realm for the tortured souls was created by the two blood brothers...born in the new era of millennium...with the concept of dark atmospheric.. they merge from the land of emptiness to the world of pains and sorrows...as the dark nights of unlashed creatures, words of wisdoms and the tales of the past wars became their inspiration...inspired with all sorrows & hatred and all the pains are not be blessed...they created their own melodic & dark anthems to express the internal feeling of the forgotten and the wandering souls of darkness...
...at the early age it was a 4 pieces band, where Boy is the front man, Awang in guitar, Samael in Drum & Najeeb as the bassist...their first unleashed was around 2001 where...these tormented souls performed lived at the Eastern STORM 2 gigs held in BTC....After the gigs, Damong joined as the second guitarist but left the band somewhere in 2003...Harny the gothic poetry female joined Saprosoul somewhere in 2002...responsible for the creating some of the lyrics and as the poetry backing vocalist...inspired from her everlasting sorrow emotions, she was born as the part of creation of the Saprosoul....adding the wickedness into their sounds...
...it was not an easy journey for Saprosoul to involved with the outside world...even to breath in their owned soil due to some of mistaken and narrow minded citizen...but this is not end for their journey...they keep on roaming in the polluted air with the sick thoughts...and those gave them the strength to bring the sick melodic to express the feeling of objection....
...the first demo was released in June 2003 with 2 tracks entitled 'Devoted...darkness' & 'Empirical...encroach'...composed by Awang & Samael with the help from their gothic female vocalist...Recorded under Dementia Label...
...the journey still on the move and these five dark knights still wandering the lands and air...as they have the eternal support from some of the local dark imaged bands, from the metal 'zine, webmasters, underground metal hordes and individual who know the quality of forgotten underground metal music...

interviu oleh Maelstrom zine...
Hell-O sila perkenalkan ahli Saprosoul dan latar sejarahnya.
Awang: kami dari Brunei dgn aku dan Sameal mebentuk Saprosoul tahun 2000. barisan terkini: Boy'd Shagratul maut- vokal, samael-dram, najeeb-basis, harny-puitis dan aku-gitar
cerita sikit latar bawah tanah terkini di Brunei dan apa perkembangan gig di sana ada masalah tak?
Awang: latar bwh tanah Brunei kini tak semacam zaman 90an. masa tu ada byk band black/death metal. skrg dah byk berubah. mungkin sbb pengaruh muzik zaman milenium. tapi kami tak peduli semua tu. sbb kami percaya dgn kebolehan dan potensi kami. masalahnya kami kena gam kat sini dr buat gig. ahhh... pedulikan semua tu, bukannya boleh musnahkan semangat kami. yg pasti kalau lu org dr band hardcore atau pop semasa gerenti tak kena gam. siap dapat penaja lagi. tu sbb ada sesetengah band black/death metal (aku tak nak sebut nama) bertukar jadi band pop dan rap atau hardcore sbb nakkan glamor dan show. malang betul nasib mereka.
apa yg pengaruh muzik dan lirik kotrang?
Awang: apa yg pengaruhi kami semasa susun dan buat muzik datangnya dr dlm diri kami sendiri sedih, sengsara dan sebagainya yg menjadikan kami hasilkan sebuah muzik metal yg penuh kegelapan dr jiwa yg penuh terseksa, sengsara dgn minda dalaman yg mereput. saprosoul, harap lu faham apa tu sapro. sapro dlm lirik dan muzik aku tak nak bagi tahu bezanya, kami nak pendengar berikan pendapat mereka. jika kena dgn maksudnya kami akan terangkan lebih lanjut. sbb sesetengah org tak faham makna dlm lirik dan muzik kami.
apa yg korg tahu pasal latar bwh tanah di Asia mcm Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Brunei, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Combodia, Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Mongolia, etc etc?
Awang: kami cuma tahu pasal Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines dan Thailand aje.
pendapat korg beza antara latar bwh tanah Asia Tenggara kini dgn scandinavia?
Awang: kini kat Asia tenggara memang hebat, byk band dah boleh buat stail sendiri dgn kemahiran yg dahsyat mcm kat scandinavian.
apa korg tahu pasal thailand, pernah dtg sini?
Awang: kami belum pernah ke sana lagi, tapi apa yg kami tahu thailand memang hebat dan indah samalah dgn latar metal bwh tnhnya.
apa rancangan masa depan saprosoul? ada niat nak buat lamanweb?
Awang: kami rancang nak naiktarafkan studio kami utk rilis yg akan dtg. masa ni kami tengah sibuk dgn rutin harian kami dan tu sbb tak ada masa nak buat lamanweb.
ada buat sebarang urusan jualbeli produk korang? cerita sikit.
Awang: kami belum ada sebarang rancangan ke arah itu.
cerita sikit pasal gig Eastern storm 2, Headbanger's Night, Earth Shaker dan sebagainya.
ada niat nak buat gig kat sini
Awang: aku rasa lu dah tahu serba sedikit pasal gig tu. mm..... dah tentule kalau ada peluang
apa pendapat korg pasal sesetengah zine yg gelarkan 'zine bwh tanah' tapi tulis pasal band dan label terkenal saja. bagi sesetengah band pulak nampak brutal dr segi imej dan pakaian tapi muzik hampeh?
Awang: aku setuju ngan lu. memang ada zine metal yg cm tu. sbb mrk nak untung aje. sedngkan band baru dan tak terkenal mati kaku takde promosi. aku rasa mrk perlu ada kerjasama dan kordinasi dgn band kecil mcm ni. mrk perlu bagi bantuan dan semangt utk band ni maju dlm latar metal asia ni. bagi band yg brutal tu sebenarnya nak tarik perhatian pengikut aje. bergantung pd individulah. bagi aku band metal kena ada semua tu. ini petanda imej brutal tu dtgnya dr jiwa mereka. tapi imej brutal tak penting sgt yg penting muzik.
ok, ada apa-apa nak cerita pada pembaca?
Awang: utk pembaca dan editor, kami ada demo pertama dgn 2 lagu bertajuk 'devoted darkness' dan 'empirical encroach'. sila dapatkannya. jgn lupa sokong kami.
apa kata sihir terakhir saprosoul?
Awang: kata sihir berapi dr saprosoul: bOy d'Shagratul maut - "bangkitlah roh jahat dr dlm minda kejam menggila", Samael - "dentuman kilat dr kota kegelapan" Najeeb - "jiwamu milikku" Awang - "kejahatan dr setiap seruan syaitan" Harny - "renungi bebayang dr masa silam"
