Straightout

Straightout were formed in May 1998 by Pipinx (Guitar) and Muy (Vocals). They were influenced by Metallic Hardcore bands such as Earth Crisis and Strife. After several line-up changes, the band released their first full-length album “Undying Beauty and the Symphony of Sadness” in 2003, with a lineup of Pipinx (Guitar), Rendy (Guitar), Bayu (Vocals), Donny (Keyboards), Sonny (Bass), and Benny (Drums). The album provides harmonically powerful guitar riffs, heavy hitting on drums, atmospheric aura from the keyboard, and emotional screaming and melodious notes from the vocals and the female backing vocals (Rebecca). In 2005 the lineup changed, with Donny being replaced by new keyboardist Mella, Rendi replaced by Danny-the ex-Perfect Minors, and Bayu replaced by Demise Ex-vocalist from Sadistist. With this group, the band released their 2nd full-length “Forsaken Upon Nemesis”, which showcases the band's progression into the melodic death metal realm while keeping some metalcore elements. The band released their third album entitled “Nocturnal Born Vehemence” in 2013 with a new lineup including Nyoman (Guitar) and Prama (Drums), both formerly SiksaKubur members. Panjie also serves as their new bassist. “Nocturnal Born Vehemence” marked Straightout's full transformation into a melodic death metal band, leaving behind the metalcore traits and losing their keyboardist in the process. *Discography Undying Beauty and the Symphony of Sadness (2004) Endzweck / Straightout split (2006) Forsaken upon Nemesis (2007) Nocturnal Born Vehemence (2013)
