masa darjah satu, sangat2 influenced by the greatest local, legendary rock band, Search. Tu pun masa terpengaruh tengok citer Fenomena sbb all my uncles berlakon masa tu. jadik extra. so kat situ dah berjinak2 skit main drum angin. (air drum). So looking at me so enthusiast about music which is another medium of art. my mum enrolled me in a Gamelan Club by Petronita. Masa tu mak aku kerja Petronas and dorang ada buat club ni for Petronas employees punya children. Mula2 bosan, then after few weeks cam best gila. And then sebelah studio tradisional, ada modern studio. so masa break, slalu curik2 masuk and main drum. then kena marah. malu. nangis. and in 1996, my friend Khairil Sariman, came to me one day, and change the whole of my life since then. He came to me before tuition and said, "Adib, pakcik aku ada tinggal kaset kat rumah aku.. cuba kau try layan." then i ask "kaset apa?" he answered "Kaset Nirvana, Nevermind." Fuhh.. dulu slalu nampak senior conteng kat meja makmal takpun beg skolah dorang guna liquid paper je..dalam hati, band ni mesti ganas.. so try la dengar.. pergh!! layan la plakk!
so after few years main gamelan (until 1998, form 2) the club was disband pasal area kitorang practice tu nak buat LRT. so terpaksa la disband the whole club. then i was addicted to sounds.. maybe sbb dah lama sangat main gamelan, so dah macam ketagih nak ada activity yang sama or lebih kurang which is main muzik. i wanna go for a real deal. so here is my sorta timeline for my muzik inputs:

so back to the story, masa darjah 6, with close friends of mine, syamil, alan ishak and hasrul, we started to go jamming together. In 1998, we actively went jamming and sanggup berjalan from SS7 to SS2 semata2 nak jam kat The Jam Studio. sanggup curik duit raya adik and all, kitorang pegi jam hampir hari2.. apa lagi, jam nirvana and butterfingers je la sampai khatam. and masa ni, i come out with the name Spinning Dizzy, ala2 grunge gitu. And terlahirlah first ever demo tape yang self titled, Spinning Dizzy. Demo tape ni kitorang record lagu guna radio mini compo warna merah, alan punya, the vocals, kitorang overdub kat rumah kawan kitorang nama Badrul Hisham, guna HiFi canggih dia.. gila rare ah time nih..
Then, for quite some times, we slowly changed our pace to more harder and stronger music which is new metal. starting kalau tak silap, kitorang jam deftones dulu, then baru soulfy ditubuhkan sbb max cavalera chow dari sepultura. so lepas tu khatam la soulfly sampai lebam. and nama band masa ni Mute Disgorge. So my first real show is started with this band in a party. My friend's party named Ezlyn. She organized a party for #14 kot masa tu. zaman2 mIRC. hahaha.. I still remember, masa tu band kitorang dah mula dikenali ramai sbb main Soulfly cam takde masalah.. hahah.Tak lama lepas tu, Mute Disgorge macam slow gila sbb semua chow pegi sekolah teknik berasrama penuh.
Sebelum masuk skolah teknik lagi, i know a friend of mine named Adam from mIRC yang gila bmx and into bands and music.. and masa tu dia ada band called Kross Overdrive. after a while, their vocalist, Zayd, kluar dari band and they searching for vocalist. masa tu plak, aku slalu lepak rumah Adam jamming dua orang, and later that evening, main skateboard. masa dorang satu band nak jam kat rumah, dorang takde vocalist. and kebetulan aku ada situ, so dorang suh blasah nyanyi.. apa lagi.. aku blasah la.. hahaha.. so after that, they decided to take me as permanent vocalist la and we started to record Kross Overdrive first demo tape. Self titled jugak.. haha.. ni lagi rare record ni sebab our friend Adzwan, who is a damn geek, yang slalu duk rumah, tetiba nak challenge himself to record a band. so kitorang guna je apa yang ada kat rumah Adam tu to record. Using a HiFi, and few karaoke mics, DONE! hahaha
Since from then, slalu la jam with Kross Overdrive playing covers ranging from Incubus, Linkin Park, Snot, and Earth Crisis. Then, lepas habis SPM, both of my band Mute Disgorge dengan Kross Overdrive masuk this one Battle of the Band organized by Sekolah Menengah Damansara Jaya. Mute Disgorge played covers from Incubus siap dengan sampler pakai laptop (hahahahah) and Kross Overdrive playing covers from Snot and Earth Crisis. Tapi masa ni Kross Overdrive guna nama Sugar Free atas alasan nama Kross Overdrive cam budak2. Adoiyai! Letup gila time ni! hahah
Tak lama lepas tu, Mute Disgorge decided nak tukar music influence. kali ni nak lebih ganas skit. pegi hardcore and metal. So we started to listen to Poison TheWell and Killswitch Engage. Lepas buat beberapa lagu, we decided to produce an EP with 3 - 4 songs. Hadoii... recording ni pun rare ugak weh.. hahaha.. this time around, Adzwan wanted to record all the tracks using metronome. so nak sewa studio masa ni amat2 lah susah and masa ni takde contact pun. so we bring all the equipments (Alan Ishak punya sbb masa ni dia ada jam studio nama Mouse Studio, abg dia punya) pegi Nilai, one my friends house in the making, nama dia Ami. Pegi sana actually just to record my drums.. haha! That was my first experience recording drum tracks with metronome without any music guide. Just listen to the metronome and hafal lagu.. Crazy!! then all the other tracks were recorded at Adzwan's room. After few months, terhasillah self titled EP, Mute Disgoge. Owh yes, we decided to give it all for free..
promotion katanya..
habis je dengan Mute Disgorge, Kross Overdrive pun nak record jugak.. and at the same time, dorang pun dah tuka genre music, hardcore metal which is known later on by the name of Metalcore. So dorang suruh dengar Darkest Hour plak la sbb sementara aku kat politeknik tu, dorang dah jam. so jam la.. And few months after that, Fahmi said about changing the name of the band to A New Fall. We agreed. Cam catchy gila la zaman tu.. hahah so gunala nama tu sampai skarang..
