Career

[edit | edit source]

Early formation

[edit | edit source]

Deadsquad was formed in early 2006.[1] Guitarists Stevie Item and Ricky Siahaan wanted to make a project band to fulfill their desire to play metal. Bassist Bonny Sidharta of the band Tengkorak and drummer Andyan Gorust, the former member of Siksakubur were invited to complete the formation. After Ricky Siahaan resigned in June 2006, Prisa Adinda of Zala was recruited to replace him. Shortly thereafter Babal was recruited to be a vocalist. They started to name the band Deadsquad around these times. In November 2007 Prisa Adinda left the band. Her successor Coki Bollemeyer of Netral joined the band one year after, precisely in October 2008. In the same month, singer Daniel Mardhany of the band Abolish Conception joined the band, replacing Babal.[2]

Horror Vision

[edit | edit source]

Horror Vision was released on 9 March 2009 by Rottrevore Records, coincided with Lamb of God concert in Jakarta. The album was also re-released by Malaysian label Dark Colloseum.[3] The album consist of 8 tracks. Musically influenced by bands like Dying Fetus, Necrophagist, and Sepultura,[4] the first track of the album Pasukan Mati tells about the brutality of right-wing fascist mob that are counterproductive. The guitar on this album was influenced by Steve Vai.[4][5] However, the bass and vocals were not "audible".[5] On "Manufaktur Replika Baptis", they called it tells a coercion of choosing religion in Indonesia. They also covered "Arise" as a tribute to Sepultura.[3]

Second album and Bonny's departure

[edit | edit source]

Deadsquad released the second album Profanatik in November 2013 through Armstretch Records.[6] Bassist Bonny Sidharta left the band in March 2014. There is no official replacement has been made. However, the band hires Arslan Musyfia from the band Carnivored to fulfill bass position. They went through a couple of session player to fill in such as Anak Agung Gde (ex-Villes, Killing Me Inside, and Synystra) and Welby Cahyadi for some time until their original bassist Bonny returns to the band.[7]

In July 2025, ahead of the band's European tour titled Obsidian Tour, bassist Shadu Rasjidi officially stepped down.[8] Then Deadsquad signed Ronal Adrian (510) as tour musisian.[9]

The main genre of the band is death metal, mixed with technical, old school, new school, and sometimes with jazz fusion.[3] In early career, they jammed and played songs from Slayer, Anthrax, and Sepultura. They are also influenced by Necrophagist, Visceral Bleeding, Spawn of Possession, Disavowed, Decrepit Birth, and Nile.[2]
