Zi Factor

It began way back in the 90's in Hawaii. The brothers Ezra & Eddy both guitarist looking for their own style explored the sound of Indonesian ethnic music in metal. But after a long twisted life it was in Indonesia that they got together to form Zi Factor. It was 2002, the idea was a band that talks honestly of bitterness,hope & life here.The music had gotta be Indonesian metal & unique. Not just another metal band from Indonesia. We call our music Tribal Core. After a coupla years playing without permanent members,helped out by Tyo who never knew he could growl, they met up Bopaq, a growler & Iwan a real vocalist with 3 previous band albums & Bopaq's brother, Uya the bassist, who believed in the mission & Zifactor became a real band. We started recording our debut mini album 'Kill paradigm' with 7 songs 1 bonus guitar shit in early 2006 at Eddy's bedroom. Ndang our drummer, joined later in Dec 2006. The band is a total d.i.y band. All recording, mixing & mastering, video, website, enhanced DVDs & CDs, contents, artwork, covers etc were all done by the band & our team of creative misfits. We are releasing the album under our own self-created label, Unsound Records, in a joint-venture with PRS SonyBmg for local distribution in late August 2007. Unsound Records is also looking for labels out there preferably metal or indie oriented to release Zifactor outside of Indonesia.
