Siksa Kubur is the most productive death metal band, especially in Indonesia. Everyone knew it, except for haters, I think. Despite for all praise, there are always several people that hate this band. In my own opinion, Siksa Kubur was the best death metal band in Indonesia. You have to accept it. As we all knew, this band was really productive band in Indonesia. 7 Albums and 1 EP. It's not easy thing to create an album.
Musically this band polished their style quite a bit since their debut CD “The Carnage”. Most of the songwriting and trademark standouts can be heard within Andyan Gorust’s drum tracks. That’s just one of the many things that stood out to me about this band. There are some drummers out there that have a defined style of playing such as Gene Hoglan, Flo Mounier, Hellhammer, etc. and Andyan Gorust is no exception. You can tell when you hear his unique drumming style of alternating upbeat/downbeat blasts and thrash that it’s him. Andyan is also is the driving force behind the choppy song structure that this band has displayed on all albums. The “Podium” CD is no exception. [1]
Metafora and Definisikan Suci are quite good songs. They fast and brutal, plus some of melodic riff. That's alright, anyway. This album still best.
The guitars follow many of the similar formulas that were present of the bands “Eye cry” album more so than “The Carnage/Back from vengeance”. Even though this album has slightly toned down the “brutality” by adding more melodic elements, they’re still standing strong due to the speed and intense song structure. The “podium” album also marks more leads and guitar solos than on previous albums. The production is polished to perfection and should attract the ears of both brutal and melodic death metal fans alike. [1]
