It’s been long time since the first eruption of Tengkorak (English: Skeleton, Carcass) but this band shows no sign of out of fuel. Let’s face it, 11 years of crusade in underground metal scenes, 11 album releases (EP, compilation, full & split works), countless gigs and salutation definitely ascertain Tengkorak as one of greatest and most respectful underground band nationwide.

Back in 1993 where most of us might be juveniles concocting rock/grunge/alternative stars as daydreaming, Tengkorak begun their journey persuading British grindcore Napalm Death in their vibes. Founded by M. Hariadi 'Ombat" Nasution (Growls), Danang Bhudiarto (Bass), Yoyok Radianto (Guitars), Denny Julianto (Drums), Tengkorak later released demo tape titled It's a Proud to Vomit Him under Sebelas April Records precisely when Adam Mustofa joined in Guitars line. The E.P loaded with 4 songs: Primitive Jokes, Aggression, The Grave Torment and Bencana Moral (Moral Decadence).

The demo tape acclaimed success by endless effort of promotion through underground networks, distros, zines, and linked society across U.S, Japan, Malaysia, Canada, Spain, Poland, Belarus, Holland, Mexico, Italy, and undoubtedly most Asian countries but Adam has to quit to pursue his job outside.

One of blasting kudos to Tengkorak was when Japan label, Bloodbath Records, releasing their EP titled “Dying Poor” in 7” vinyl format, raising Tengkorak reputation among the scenes rapidly as the first Indonesian underground band pressing vinyl format.

Tengkorak broke new ground when Musica, Indonesian major label, offered a project in November 1997 and attracted other bands to join and record underground compilation titled Metalik Klinik. The album sold over 60,000 copies a year after release date through Musica nationwide distribution.

Analogous to other bands, Tengkorak members reshuffled to keep the synchronization in. After new line up consists of M. Hariadi "ombat" Nasution, SH., (Growls), Danang Bhudiarto, SH. (Bass), Haryo "Yoyok" Radianto, SI-H (Guitars), Hella Tanisan (Guitar), Donni Rimata (Drums), Tengkorak back to Studio (Magenta) to record a full-length album during March-April 1999. The Indonesian chaotic situation inspired the band to titled the album “Konsentrasi Massa” (Mass accumulation where the chaos fired straightforwardly by unidentified provocateurs) with 20 songs full of razor-sharp critics to gluttonous government amongst them are: OKNUM, ASAP TEBAL, GAWEAN REGET, PRIMITIVE JOKES, KEMELUT, KONSENTRASI MASSA, SPEKULASI BISNIS, PENJILAT, PRESTASI GILA, BURUH, BISNIS EJAKULASI, CACAT POLITIK, DOSA KELUARGA, BENCANA MORAL, DISKRMNASI, CHAOS OR RIOT, AZTEC, DOGMA, PROPAGANDA, SERAKAH produced by RotorCorp and exclusively distributed by Musica nationwide and Tengkorak indie co-worker for foreign customers. As consequences of this successful record, Japan label releasing Konsentrasi Massa in April 2001.
Followed by Monster of Rock tour with Suckerhead, Edane, PAS, and Betrayer, Tengkorak worked on next LP titled “Darurat Sipil” in September 2002, followed by “Lunatic Evil” in 2003. Currently they’re working on studio for recording session.

You might not wonder why Tengkorak exposing jagged criticism about dirty politics movement as song themes as Tengkorak leader and throat, Ombat, is holding bachelor of law degree.
Considering long existance and their productivity, without a hesitation Tengkorak deserve the crown of the Father of Indonesian Grinders.
