~We fOrWaRd iN tHiS GeNeRaTiOn tRiUmPhAntLy~
Mimbar is a simple band, which would like to welcome all the people around the world into the moment of truth, joys and might when they hear, listen and feel the sound of music that already made the world in peace and harmony. You may not experience it by yourself but you are actually aware at every breathing moment that it is happening, that it's outcome is supremely important to your future, the world's future! With a steady, upbeat rhythm as well as the pleasures and passions of life that expressed through our music, you're invited in the reunion of the glory days of music, peace and freedom once you know it, by the time you hear the kind of music like we play you'll soon recognize that our music influenced by those ancestor music creators that played kind of music like blues, classic, metal rock, and last but not least rock & roll ! The story began when we started to realized that we lost in time we listened to now days music. They made a song but they didn't enjoy their music themselves an seemed to be so easy listening with illogic lyrics and rarely we found a good music that came from heart, on the consequences they won't be a legend and last forever. We didn't know exactly why and how these things happened and we would love to change their point of view with our music and take you to the land of freedom as the god planned it for us.

Mimbar merupakan sebuah kumpulan musik dari Indonesia, terdiri dari Indra sebagai penabuh perkusi, Didi maen bass, Reka menggerayangi fingerboard, ngisi vocal juga, ngancurin alat, lalu Kemprit yang kadang meraung dan gemar mutusin senar. Khas Mimbar menyuguhkan sesuatu yang tak lazim, ini terdengar di sebagian lagu, mulai dari penyelarasan sound media dalam materi distorsi dan clean akustik, tarian akord lawas yang menyeberang ke masa nanti, lirik legam yang pendarkan terang, digenapi aksi panggung membumi, telisik tabir progres dan menukar arus maenstream kembali ke jatidiri musik itu sendiri. Tanpa perlu memaksa daya kreatif melayani label atau menghamba pada trend, namun karena pelepasan desakan energi dari sumber misteri yang senantiasa gemakan rongga jiwa, mengguncang pijakan keseharian, tekstur kompromi sikap antagonic yang dirasuk bisikan taman keabadian. Mimbar memuat sepenggal kisah perlawanan, seutas pengabdian, kilau benak di sudut malam, naungan pengelana di tanah kebebasan, penelusur tempat tak bertempat, deru kemenangan generasi unggul, hal baru yang tak pernah angan sentuh. Di-alur langkah terpatri niat bersama, berucap TIDAK untuk konspirasi elit politis dan penanam modal asing, apapun itu.
Rilisan telah menjadi koleksi sebentuk generasi, sebuah album reuni mengenang para saksi pergerakan yang telah menggeser cara pandang dan makna langkah.

****** DARKER THAN BLACK ******
A WHOLE LOT MORE
do you know it do you hear it?
it's calling you once again
if you believe , how come you leave?
the one thing you can't disdain
no more delay, no time to pause
you're gonna see what you sow
find your self, it's in your self
cos you're not what you are now
come on and see open the sky
let's go and play a whole lot more
good bye to ruin of the old
let's go and play a whole lot more
think no better and think no other
if you're all set, off we go
hurry-hurry, leave all things you got
let your soul shine on and glow
THE FINAL SALUTE
I saw image of broken reflected shadow
I know there's no tears left for me to show
cos I know I have faith bigger than his masterpiece
His old face took so many times and names
I know there's no good for me to lame
cos I know lots of younger one will follow
He's gone when this nation needs him most
and the peoples grieved for their lost
the spirit of children will always remain and waiting the changing with bigger plans
for You I give .. the final salute, for you I raise .. my left hand
WE ALL ARE BROTHER
we've been away for far too long
we've bent the rules and spent sometimes
rejoiced ourselves in the name of rock to tell them where we're came from
twisted sister broke our pact
shrugged us out from our glory fath
have a fight with no resolution, still we want you back and going home
come inside our dear brother
you gotta tell us what you see out there
you gotta show us what you got out there, after all we all are brothers
d'you still have strenght energy? To redeem the hatred they've thrown
we're here together and all is one, side by side againts murdering storm
gimme 5 and stay a while, no need to rush no need to go
we have the time and the perfect place, it's the ring of fire that'll make us warm
MENTAL INSTITUTION (FOR THE DEAD)
walking down in a hospital hall
me mind is good through need a fix
fake plastic trees there me see
strange looking faces there me look
get bored, hit to the cemetary
crawling night, moonshine on me
me do nothing me want
miracles hope, creeping me brains out
take me to mental institution for the dead
take me to mental institution for the dead
Out there, me see orion star
silent still, dark comes whisper
sparkling shadows bugging me dream
necromancer swing blades of blood
OMUD NIGHTS
there was a miracle tonight, my friend had one song on track
mystery place out of sight, filling up the tunes on the deck
marching up by the townside bar, slowed down on the police car
They're not gonna catch us now, our faith is already started to grow,
messed with us means sorrow
One thing I last remembered, Mr. Joe really comes in our mind
the bitter fade to be sweeter, leaves all the discllusion behind
Finnaly we found some solution, destruction is equal to revolution
decade of god, the day of gandhi, high hay and bottle of brandy
we started to make our glory
HELL ON PARADISE
call me, man with a name, master of the universe
center of all power sources, thriller than the paradise
call me. one and only game, famous is what you know I am
winner is always I become, hotter than the fell of flame
hell on paradise, and that's what I am
call me, beast you can't be tamed
harder than everything you touched
sinner among the criminals wilder, and no one made me claimed
THE GOD'S PLAN
There's a way to the heaven
I'll take you there if you want it
it wan't belong, take it easy
you'll get your sharer, once you'll get there
you can take an easy or hardway
doesn't matter which way you choose
stay together, don't you ever loose me
I'll be your guide, till we get there
and all the angels will bow and pray
there'll be no price we have to pay
for what you've ruined would be untold
they'll be renew and don't grow old
time takes time but it will stop
power on you when you're on top
and that's how the god has planned it for you
MaSiH fOkUs pAdA kEaGuNgAn DaLaM KeMiLaU kEnYaTaAn
This is the strangest life I've ever known .. That it's time to live in the scattered sun
"We're just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl
.. Rode on the steel breeze, you seer of visions
Come on you miner for truth and delusion and shine"
in real and proven actions ! qiyamuh binafsih
with real and tangible results
