SEPTIKAEMIA

The band was initiated by both Rashid AKA Plumpy and Hanafiah back in 1996. It was all practically 2piece band jamming sessions till Halim turned up for one of the jamming sessions in 97'. Halim is the younger brother of Risham...one of Septikaemia's closest friend in the scene back then. He was recruited in the band primarily due to his honesty and frankness;not to mention his wide influence in music which made it very compatible for him as a guitarist in the band. Later came Hairul(our current vox ) who was instantly appointed as the frontman of the band for his much brutal and guttural vocals.Last but not least...Ah Xiang was also inducted into the band as his guitar skill capabillities were one of the best the band had ever heard. With consistent practice, grooving/brutalizing jam sessions, Septikaemia became a tight unit and entered the studio around the year 2000/2001.It was recording of their first DEMO, entitled BLACKENED HOLOCAUST, a demo EP consisting of 4 brutal old school death metal opuses...the demo was released at a gig on DEC 24 2004 at BIG MERCHANTS studio, organised by a friend, Man from the band SEVEN SUNDAYS/FIY. In time each band member drifted away due to job and personal commitments, etc. Eventually, some of the members left, Halim, Ah Xiang and Hairul declared that they couldn't commit anymore and left the band. As for Hanafiah, he left soon after that as well. Now, the current and sole remaining original member of the band is down to only Plumpy, he however didn't give up on the band and scouted for new members to fill the vacant positions, SEPTIKAEMIA was put on hold but was never put to rest. In Dec 2007, after 3 years of silence, the band is back, this time with SHAMtos (ex-Nympholepsy) on bass and VexSpine (ex-Flames of Dignity) on guitars.The songwriting process has begun.Plumpy plays drums and was handling vocal duties during this time. Towards the end of 2008, a year after the band was rejuvenated, Hairul, Septikaemia's original vocalist returns to his guttural vocal duties. As again changes in the line up of the band occurs again. Vexspine as planned to pursue his own personal ambitions, he officially left the band again in april 2009 and thus been replaced by AIDIL on guitars for the band. Once again, the band slowly picking up paces and prepare to write songs for our next upcoming full length release. So wait and HAIL!
