SFHC - Screaming Factor

Screaming Factor was formed in the city of Malang in March 1997 by Yoyok that really wanted to have an old-school hardcore or hardcore-punk band. Yoyok then invited his schoolmate, Evi, to be a vocalist in this band. Several close friends were also recruited to complete the first SF formation as follows; Evi [vocals], Harry [vocals], Yoyok [guitar], Andre [bass], and Lucky [drums]. Earlier in their career, Screaming Factor often covered foreign songs by Sick Of It All, 25 Ta Life, or Vision of Disorder. Around December 1997, Lucky walked out of the band and the position was soon replaced by Oyik. Meanwhile to fill the vacancy in the guitar sector, Yoyok finally took Udin to enter into their formation. In mid-1998, Harry decided to leave the band because he wanted to focus on his work. Evi [vocals], Yoyok [guitar], Udin [guitar], Andre [bass], and Oyik [drums] started performing in various stages and local gigs such as Parade Music Crisis, Malang In Your Face, After Shock – where they share the stage with Today Is Struggle, Direction For Use, MBDPH, Youth of Strength, Stolen Vision, Keramat, Wodka, No Play No Games, Skatoopid, Dying, and a number of other bands. In 1999, Screaming Factor documented their first single entitled We Born In Pain. The song was recorded in studio Kangean [Malang] . The single was also included in the compilation album For The Truth which was released by the Youth Frontline Records [Malang] in April 1999. According to reports from the label, the compilation has been sold 500-600 cassette copies throughout Indonesia. At the end of August 1999, Andre [bass] decided to leave the band to concentrate on his new routine, which was rehearsal studio attendant. Screaming Factor finally opened auditions to find a new bass player, and was forced to cancel their show at the event Bludreg Solo. After being idle for some time, Screaming Factor went on stage again with the entry of Adon as bass player, replacing Andre. Member changes in Screaming Factor did not stop there. Oyik [drums] suddenly resigned in February 2000. His position was then replaced by Tomy for some time. Together Tomy, Screaming Factor had appeared in several events, such as the Battle of Hardcore in Surabaya and Under Siege # 1 in Blitar. The other members felt that Tomy didn't have enough competence, the position was then handed over to Ayok. In the formation Evi [vocals], Yoyok [guitar], Udin [drums], Adon [bass], and Ayok [drums], Screaming Factor was back at work. In early 2000, they recorded the single, Wake Up. The single is included into the compilation We Born With Pain, released by Never End Records [Jakarta]. During this period also, Screaming Factor played on several local stages, such as After Shock # 2, Pakis Severe, Parade Music Stop AIDS, Singosari Breakdown, Sumbersari Survive For U, Flashback, and The New Year Matinee. In early May 2001, Screaming Factor participated in the show One Family One Brotherhood in Yogyakarta. In the annual Jogja hardcore fest , Screaming Factor appeared one stage with Lost Sight [Jakarta], Something Wrong [Yogyakarta], Moment of Pain [Solo], and several other bands. A day after the event, Screaming Factor returns home to Malang to perform in the Sound of Disaster in the campus hall of STIKI Malang. A number of other gigs that Screaming Factor also played on were Malang Expo 2002, Hardcore As Fuck, Ontrant-Ontrant, Bring Your Noise, Sound In The Garden, Malang City Hardcore # 2, Velodrome Skate Rock, Brotherhood Fuck You, After Shock # 3, and Saturday Night Hardcore. In June 2002, Evi [vocals] was forced to resign due to time management difficulties. This period became the toughest period for Screaming Factor. Because Screaming Factor had already been known as a female-fronted band with Evi as female vocalist. After taking a breather for several months, in early January 2003 Screaming Factor officially gave vocalist slot to Novi. Previously Novi often helped Screaming Factor as back-up vocals. The first stage Screaming Factor played on together with Novi was Party To The Max, which was held by the collective ska scene in Malang. In this event, Screaming Factor played on stage with Skatoopid, Spiky In Venus, Brigade 07, Extreme Decay and a number of other bands. Then they re-appear on the show in Hijau Damai Universitas Merdeka Hall Malang. Shortly thereafter, they also perform at the event Together We Rock in Campuss Cafe, along with Begundal Lowokwaru and Spiky In Venus.

The plan to record the project had to be canceled. they eventually started to record a demo song, The Fire That Burns In My Heart, in Nero studio[Malang]. The song was then included into the Solidrock Magazine # 3 CD sampler, in June 2004. Feeling quite satisfied with the recording in the Nero studio, Screaming Factor finally decided to start recording all their songs. The process itself is quite complex and time consuming. Recordings done gradually in various sessions in Ant'z and Nero studio. Reluctantly, Screaming Factor was forced to cancel their appearance on the Tribute To Sick Of It All event in Jogjakarta because they wanted focus more in the recording process. In between recording schedule, Screaming Factor took the stage, appearing in local stages.

Di penghujung tahun 2005, SF akhirnya merilis debut album di bawah label Fukyu Records. Rilisan ..self-titled.. itu dipasarkan ke seluruh Indonesia melalui jalur independen, dan meraup respon publik yang lumayan positif. Sejak album ini, musik mereka sedikit ada pengaruh ke arah metalik. Aransemennya menjadi lebih kompleks dan progresif. Intensitas punk/hc yang liar menyambut nuansa rock-metal, mathcore, metalcore, sampai post-hardcore. Singel berjudul ..The Fire That Burns In My Heart.. juga sempat masuk dalam kompilasi nasional, ..Cadas Tanpa Batas.. [Dapross Records, 2007]. Majalah TRAX dalam edisi ..metal issue..

Paska proses rekaman materi musik terbaru di awal tahun 2008, Adon [bass] keluar dari band dan posisinya digantikan oleh Harry [eks Kimono]. Setelah sempat jadi opening act dalam konser band asing seperti SOL [Jerman] dan Ingrowing [Ceko], Screaming Factor kembali dipercaya membuka konser Walls of Jericho [USA] di kota Malang. .. .. Pada pertengahan tahun 2008, SF melepas mini album bertajuk Welcome Pieces yang dirilis secara digital melalui ReloadYourStereo, sebuah proyek netlabel milik Apokalip.com.
