This is an interview section of PURNAMWULAN... One of the interview was enclosed in this page... This interview was taken from TERROR SCREAM fanzine that asked by the editor's namely Sayuti since a month ago... It's answered and judged by the way of Sanghyang Wulan, the spokesman in the band...HI, HOW ARE YOU GETTING ON AT THE MOMENT, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR FIRST WORDS BEFORE I ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR STRANGE BAND ?......
S.Wulan - Sulamet nang sampean... Actually, I'm fine right now but only my sickening environtment embracing my innersoul and it's totally sucks !!! Anyway, be honest what have you involved on... Modhar !!!OK, LET'S START TALKING ABOUT YOUR DEMO 'THE FULLMOON OVER THE KLIWON'... HOW'S THE SELLING GOING ON ? IS THERE ANY DISTRIBUTORS GET YOUR STUFF TO SELL ?.
S.Wulan - About a hundred copies have been sold at my hand and now it's unavailable anymore but it's still in progression under our 'loyal' label namely MEMORIES RECORDS, the frontman of Clewone and Unholy mag. Syaiful and Shah... You'll get this piece from them...AND THEN, WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR DEMO ? 'JAVA CELESTIAL ETHOS METAL', DID YOU CREATE IT WITH YOUR OWN WAY ?......
S.Wulan - Hmmm...Hsss... The satisfaction is come from my deeply innersoul... Thus our own victory... Yes, Java Celestial Ethos Metal is our musick expression and it's honestly come from my experiences innerthought and innersoul... This is only my true path of my elite bloodroots... And of course, I came from this flowing blood...SOME OF YOUR SONGS ATTRACTED ME ESPECIALLY THE THIRD TRACK 'THE HIDDEN OF THE MYSTICAL PATH'. WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE THAT YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT THAT TRACK ?......
S.Wulan - The vertebra, essence and roots is nature were absolutely hidden in this track... Actually, this track came from the words of wisdom from the magickal tongue of the Supreme Batara Guru (the enormous emperor of Suralaya's kingdom in Java Mythos) the essence is only the story behind the journey in life, fighting towards victorious and glorious... fighting against the lie in life, seeking the truth in innerself... conciousness in astral journey... the truth is hidden is the whole matter to think in this lyrick's track... Think is Strenght !!!'SOMBRONG UREP NANG JUNGRINGSAKALAKA' THIS WORDS IS IN JAVA LANGUAGE, AM I RIGHT ? WHAT DOES IT MEAN ? HOW DID YOU KNOW THIS LANGUANGE, DO YOU FIND IT IN JAVA DICTIONARY ?......
S.Wulan - It's true... This is words of hatred and revenge... The actual meaning is 'Let the embers of revenge eternally smouldering in our heart and chest'... Of course, I know about this words coz I came from this blood and soul... and this is my true race... This is my descendant's words of wisdom in the world of warriorism... I never and ever adapt from any dictionary and this is a resolution !!!IS THERE ANY MALAY LYRICS IN SOME OF YOUR TRACKS ? GIVE YOUR COMMENT ABOUT SOME BANDS THAT USED MALAY LYRICS IN THEIR SONGS, DO YOU KNOW WHOSE THE FIRST BAND IN OUR COUNTRY USED MALAY LYRICS ? MANY PEOPLE SAID THAT 'BLACKFIRE' IS THE FIRST ONE, BUT I THINK 'ZUBIRUN' IS THE FIRST ONE THAT HAVE USED MALAY LYRICS IN THEIR SONGS, DO YOU AGREE WITH MY OPINION ?.....
S.Wulan - Absolutely, nope...There are no Malay lyricks in our tracks... Any bands can do what they wanted to do with their own bands as long as they knew what the hell they have done... Take the smart step you do something and it's up to them... In my opinion, a track's lyricks were written in Malay languange became trendy nowadays but not a cult... See what is to come now... The most important things is only the meaning inside and didn't enough just a language but the essence is must be mentioned about... About who are the Blackfire and Zubirun, in their lyrick's tracks, I refuse to comment... You know who you are... Isn't it ?... Let it be a cult but not a trends !!!ABOUT YOUR LIVE PERFORMANCE, I'VE JUST SEE YOUR SHOW AT KUALA KANGSAR WITH 'INFERNAL VOID', 'UNDEAD' etc... AND AT THE PENANG'S GIG (VOICE OF MISERY)... WHICH IS YOUR BEST SHOW BETWEEN THIS TWO GIGS... ANY MISTAKES DID YOU DO IN THAT DAY ?......
S.Wulan - Kuala Kangsar's gig is our first performance on stage and you've seen the mistakes and it's sucks !!!... Anyway, it's a 'ladder' to go ahead... In Penang we only can say, it's great but in Ipoh that I've played with As Sahar is the best...WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SOME PIONEERS THAT HAVE IN OUR COUNTRY LIKE BRAINDEAD, SIL-KHANNAZ AND SILENT DEATH ? ARE YOU INTERESTED IN OLD HEAVY METAL BANDS ?.....
S.Wulan - In my opinion, the bands that you've listed is great as they are... and it's depend to their fans and supporters to judge about them... It's seems to be an orthodox thoughts to 'hail' old bands... Anyway, only 'hails' is dedicated to those have been honest what they've involved on... I'm only respect to them that honest what they've involved and played... The name of the bands is unnecessary...DID YOU USED AAVIMARGA FROM HAYAGRIVA AS YOUR VOCAL WHEN YOU RECORDED YOUR DEMO, WHAT ABOUT YOUR VOICES AND DRUMS ?.....
S.Wulan - I'm only used one glottis in my troath of Aavimarga and Sanghyang Wulan... So, I can't change it anymore and it's up you to tell the difference but the difference is only the characterization between this two names in both of my bands... I'm no longer in drumming parts and in this moment we have our permanent drummer namely Hyang Pramesti Yamadipati...WE'VE COME TO AN END, SO WHAT'S YOUR PLAN AFTER THIS RELEASE, ANY UPCOMING STUFF ? ... PLEASE MENTION SOME WORDS BEFORE I COULDN'T TALK ANYMORE ?......
