MMIX

Happy New Year 2009 yer all! In fact, we have already moved to the month of April but as for us, this month is our first jamming session since last year. I might say that it was so not cool to do rehearsals once in a year. True, we did our jam once only in 2008...wasn't that bitter?

Each of us had undergone a lot of pressure especially myself with my personal duties. Suffering from lots of unexpected problems and controversies, it did affect the band too; rehearsal-wise and not to mention the plans for our debut CD. We're in no hurry though yet rehearse once a year is not a healthy thing to do when you're doing a band!

There were the obvious three of us doing our debut rehearsal for this year. Our guitarist Nawir couldn't make it since he lives far away from our town. But I am personally hoping that someday we all can gather together and do our duties as a quartet.

Everything was a square one type of rehearsal. Every riff seemed new. We totally lost our integrity in controlling the music we made years back. Yeah, the talents were rusting away. Nevertheless when everything is revise slowly, I dare you we'll be solid like 2 years ago.

Anyway, good things about not jamming for months are that you can still have times to think about changing the way the already constructed songs have gone. Meaning that you can re-construct the riffs, adding new melodies; deleting boring riffs and refresh everything again. My drumming is still lame, less energetic but in the same time I can still improve it and do a few new pattern out of it. Within the time of personal business and in the same time thinking of the best all of us can get via the band, we do hope for excellence in each of our track.

5 songs are made but like I said earlier, it has to be revised and maybe modified few riffs and melodies...inserting and deleting the wanted and the unwanted sounds. With our new simple tools and softwares, we hope to proceed with the recording or at least experimenting better sound quality for our upcoming release. Might need drum mics though and when we have that, we will do some test for our own multitrack recording!

Things might still be slower and you probably won't see any release this year. But look on the bright side, quality wise is more important than releasing it fast with crap feedbacks :)

Stir Karma...

warm..
like a hand to a trigger,
waiting the precise time,
to squeeze the bullet out.

cold..
like a double blade,
a simple thrust to flesh,
blood covers stainless steel.

some parts of the lyrics done by myself... anyways we will be active next year (like lan planned and it will be more ways to create more songs in the future) so stay tuned for our upcoming songs. thanks.. any delays is regretted.

Delayed

Guys, there won't be any jammin this whole month I think. Due to family matters, everything has to be stopped temporarily. We did try to schedule our jamming sessions but nothing went right. Like if 2 of us were free, one wouldn't be available. We all are carrier people though, sometimes unexpected things happen whether we like it or not nor do we accept the fact about it or not. I guess 2008 isn't that much of our musical stories though. Only once a year? That's roughly unacceptable if you want to be a successful of trio, hehe. I'm hoping Sahuja'Achra would rejuvenate next year. We have been together with the new line up for 2 years now. We do know each of our attitude. Bet in 2009, maturity shines inside us more and more.

By the way, thank you Massacre for participating. When would Mr Shadow join in eh (too many blogs to handle?? lol)?

upcoming jamming session

2morrow will be our next jam session, after a long non practise months we were quite rusted in remembering some riffs, anyways we will keep up with new riffs improved..

as our plan to record our ep is delayed... we will continue to improve our list of songs and their sounds... anyways signing off

The Footage

In the meantime, check out this footage of our rehearsal that was done last year. This is a new version of the classick song "The Winds" that is now reconstructed to be more heavier, less darker and in a mid-paced tempo without even losing its melancholy and beautiful melodies. Is that a self acclaimed? Not really, I love this song when I wasn't even a Sahujja'Achra member as yet. So there is no such thing as "angkat bakul" okay :) Enjoy it though...

Move The Date

We were making a plan of doing our 2nd jamming session this 27/10/08 - location, The Serpent's Coven (well, it's at Shadow's studio-like-room actually). But I guess that won't happen since I will have my personal appointment that day too. A sudden appointment that will never to be rejected. Blimey, the jamming session is going to be delayed again. It is very typical when everyone is excited, things happen. Hope the others wouldn't mind though, will message you guys later!

No dates are made, I'll try to find suitable times that I'm sure everyone will have their 4-5 hours of free time to do the heavy tones of our songs. Happy revising guys...

Posponed

Naturally, we would do our jamming session once a week. This week won't be any coz Mr Adee is busy with his 3 days course (correct me if I am wrong) at UBD. In fact, I am busy with my personal life too this week. So next week I hope everything is cleared and we will continue the serpents' journey :)

Until the time comes, cheers mates!!

First In 10 Months

Yeap, 15/10/2008 was our first jam since Dec 2007. That was a pretty long gap of not hanging around with each other and doing our songs together. Some inner problems did happen last year; everyone then grew wearied of it. I myself lost interest in kicking my Iron Cobra and smashing my Zildjian to the max.

After all, everyone was busy with life; personals, families, works, other hobbies - you name it. I was busy with other projects, but I did miss playing songs for Sahujja'Achra. We are actually in one BIG mission: to embrace people (that care) with our humble melodies of destructions (whatever you're going to call it though).

Then, months and months of checking each other's schedules, then on 15/10/2008 we finally gathered once again to revise all songs we had created. Of course, Mr Nawir was not around. Not that he didn't want to, not that we'd forgotten him; just he's far from us - he settles in Temburong. He can only be around on Friday and Sunday, or during school breaks.

We're like playing cover songs actually. Pretty much all songs are ours, just that every each of us didn't really familiar with the riffs anymore. Poo...10 months did make a hell lot of different, lol. Nevertheless, what excites me more is that during the revise session, Mr Shadow did find newer riffs to make the songs much sweeter and in the same time, devilish!

My legs were not that fit, I am a bit fat than I was last year. Without proper excersises I am a feeble bastard that need to rework everything all over again, haha. Need to regain back the energy so I could synchronise my double pedals with the rest of the blazing instruments the others play.

Enuff with the numbless chats, maybe I would like to see the rest speak themselves soon :)

A Memoir MMVII

Last jammed together before doing the drum recording in late December 2007. A quartet devoted to their own music

Commencement

That's a year ago, but we haven't change much!

Greetings, this is our official blog. We are Sahujja'Achra, a Metal based band that rejuvenates somewhere in Borneo Island. The purpose of this blog is none other than for some people who know us as the band to get updated news from us aside from our myspace site. But we hope by doing this blog, all updates are more sufficient and it's kind of our journeys to the endless path of evolving Sahujja'Achra as a monicker that stands with strength.

Our first teaming up between us encircled as one again was started like few hours ago, after we stopped jamming and doing recording stuffs for like, 10 months? That was a lot of time wasted but from my point of view, we discovered newer and more fresher riffs; more powerful, more meaningful than the riffs we had 10 months back. I think it's safe to stay slow - slow with profitable ideas in us to strengthen our song structures and ready for a come back with more serious efforts to release our upcoming CD.

Well, enough for now. Will keep this blog alive though! By the way, this blog will be maintained by all three of us. I'm hoping that our other member, Mr Nawir would have his access to this blog too very soon :)

Cheers, Aslan
