Sepatutnya video di bawah ditayangkan semasa Hari Raya Aidil Adha yang lepas, tapi tak mengapa lah. Asalkan mesej yang ingin disampaikan dapat diterima oleh kalian semua. Selepas menonton video2 di bawah bersama ayah aku, terdetik di fikiran aku untuk berkongsi bersama rakan2 blogger serta pembaca blog Molotov Cocktailz kerana apa yang cuba disampaikan, kadang2 aku sebagai muslim yang dari azali ini terlepas pandang tentang hal2 yang berkaitan penyembelihan mengikut hukum syarak. Ianya juga menunjukkan bahawa Al Quran serta isi kandungannya adalah satu mukjizat yang ilmu sains sendiri tidak mampu merungkaikan sebarang penjelasan. Di harap ianya dapat memberi penjelasan kepada rakan2 non-muslim sekalian tentang sebab kenapa kami para muslimin diwajibkan memakan makanan halal. InsyaAllah.

Perhatian!

Aku berharap agar kalian semua dapat menonton sampai habis 2 buah video di bawah. Jika berbuat demikian, barulah anda akan dapat melihat keajaiban yang ada pada kalam Allah semasa proses penyembelihan haiwan ternakan itu. Semoga kita sama2 dapat manfaat dari ilmu yang diterima. Amin.

R.I.P. Mitch Lucker (Suicide Silence's Vocalist) 1984-2012

Gone Too Soon...

Suicide Silence. If I mention the name of this band amongst the new generation of metal-heads, I'm sure they certainly recognize it and certainly being easily enthusiast by the powerful vocals of Mitch Lucker. No, I'm not a big fan of Suicide Silence but I do think that this band really kicking some asses off when doing live shows or festivals (see for yourself at youtube). Nor do I a Deathcore die-hard-fan because like most of 90's metalheads mentality that I am, this hybrid genre is a far-cry from doing any revolution or even improvement to the term Death Metal, it is merely just a new sound. Not a redefinition. 

But don't get me wrong, not all Deathcore bands I rejected their capability and creativeness. There are few bands that caught my attention for years such as Carnifex, Job For A Cowboy, The Black Dahlia Murder, White Chapel and certainly Suicide Silence. I first come to contact with their perilous and taunting music about maybe 2 or 3 years ago, when my brother (after coming back from KL attended some courses) bought their debut album CD entitled "The Cleansing" and their singles like "Unanswered" and "Bludgeoned To Death" really caught my attention, surprisingly I really love the vocals made by Mitch Lucker, even though some "true" death metal fans would very much dislike his style of combining squealing and growling at the same time. The band has been met with a great amount of praise and favorable reviews, they even awarded with the Revolver Golden God Award for "Best New Talent" in 2009.

Unfortunately, Mitch Lucker was involved in a motorcycle accident in the afternoon last Wednesday (Halloween) and died the next morning. He was 28. Suicide Silence will never be the same without his charismatic appearance on stage. He will be missed by million of fans worldwide. For more info about the accident, please click here.

CD Review : UB40 - Labour Of Love II (One of the Essential Reggae Album in the 80's)

UB40 - Labour Of Love II

 If I Had The Whole World, I Would Give It Away, Just To See The Girls At Play...

Minggu lepas aku menerima bungkusan poslaju dari Puteri Solehah, seorang penjual CD terpakai dan dia juga sering letak iklan jualan CD second-hand tapi original di mudah.my, jadi di website itu jugalah aku mendapat CD ini. Band UB40 ini rasanya mungkin agak asing dengan pendengar generasi baru, tapi bagi mereka yang membesar di dekad 80'an atau 90'an, band reggae ini cukup popular pada ketika itu. Siapa boleh lupa dengan lagu mereka "Cant Help Falling In Love" dari album Promises and Lies (lagu cover Elvis Presley).

Berbalik kepada album Labour of Love part 2 ini, ianya merupakan album kedua yang memuatkan 14 buah lagu cover dari pelbagai artis Reggae/Rocksteady (kebanyakannya dari era Motown dan 60an ) dan rilisan LP yang ke 9 (diedarkan pada tahun 1989). Album ini berjaya mengangkat nama UB40 di USA terutamanya melalui singles berhantu mereka seperti "Here I Am (come and take me)", "The Way You Do The Things You Do" serta my all time favorite "Kingston Town" (orginally daripada seorang artis calypso berpengaruh di Jamaica iaitu Lord Creator).

Walaupun kebanyakan lagu dalam album ini merupakan cover dari beberapa artis berpengaruh namun apa yang membezakan ia dengan versi asal ialah music arrangement yang up-to-date (pada ketika itu) serta feel reggae yang lebih segar dengan bantuan bunyian synthesizer, electronic saxophone (Yamaha WX7 Wind Controller dan dimainkan oleh Brian Travers, pemain saxophone serta co-founder) serta penggunaan drum machine oleh James "Jimmy" Brown yang juga co-founder untuk band ini. Pada pendapat aku, the band gives all of the cover songs the justice that it deserve with a little of improvement. Dari aspek muzikaliti, ianya tetap original.

P/S: CD ini sudah berusia 23 tahun (printed in 1989) dan made in Austria, besar kemungkinan 1st pressing (?)
