Year 1996
RASPATUL is a Death Thrash band from Singapore. Formed in 1996 and with the debut MCD released in early 2002 entitled 'Menghitung Ajal' which means 'Counting Death' in English, RASPATUL has managed to get some worldwide underground recognition with positive reviews from various zines all over the globe. The band has appeared in Metal Maniacs under the 'Shorts' section and a positive review from UK's Terrorizer Magazine as well. The name of RASPATUL has been further exposed with the help of getting featured in a few underground Metal compilations, etc...

"To me Raspatul epitomizes what real Metal is all about. They have a unique sound that is all their own, but yet in the truest vein of underground Metal. Raspatul is true Metal and pound for pound one of the best acts outs today. From California to Singapore if you like real Metal, this is your band."
- Jeff Becerra / Possessed
"...... easily be seen as a sign that this is a band to watch, who will one day get a full-on deal and be able to really tackle the masses."
- Dave Brenner / Metal Maniacs magazine (USA)
"...... pure and simple Death Metal (with slight Thrash influences) played with great deal of skill and dedication."
- Vanya Marinova / Brutallica magazine (Bulgaria)
"...... this quartet again delivers a solid forged alloy of hard hitting, deadly and thrashing riffs, pounding and galloping rhythms and a varied speed department which ranges from mid-tempo parts to violent and fast outbreaks."
- Michael Oelschlegel / Voices From The Darkside magazine (Germany)
