When talk started to spread that LANGSUIR has reformed after being inactive for 10 long years, we decided to pay homage to them in our fifth issue. The issue was released in Nov '2005 as a mini issue - limited to 100 copies for all the LANGSUIRian die-hards.
People might asked, why LANGSUIR ? The simplest why was LANGSUIR is a band that has set a mark in our local metal scene with their creativity and quality song writing. We recalled how excited we were when we first heard the legendary "Occultus Mysticsm" demo 1993 back then. No doubt, it was one of the best demo to ever came out from MALAYSIA.
They were scheduled to come out with their new EP under ORIENTAL ERUPTION (a division of Germany's NAZGUL'S EYRIE PRODUCTIONS) but the plan fall apart when OPYROS decided to end the label. The "Eastern Cruelty" EP was later released by local label NEBUILA PRODUCTION. They were at their peak.
Later they contributed two tracks in IPOH METAL MILITANT SUPREMANCY - a compilation album under ULTRA HINGAX PRODUCTIONS. That was the last time we are to hear from them.
There was always arguement on their unreleased track - "Sumpahan Tujuh Keturunan". Somehow, it was said that the track managed to get caught in tape during their rehearsal at BLACK WIDOW STUDIO (the rehearsal is believed to be in the hand of EAST GOTHIC PRODUCTIONS). We talked to XULHISHAM of METAL STORM a few years back about the track and have also asked for a copy of that recording. However, since he has re-located far from his hometown, it was impossible for him to pass it to us. Tight with other commitments, we don't managed to follow up since then.
In another attempt to secure the recording, we spoke to AZLANTHOR about the track. But he never recalled rehearsing or ever recorded it.
That year was 2005. It has been 12 years since we first wrote to AZLANTHOR for a copy of "Occultus Mysticsm". The band has always been a brother to us. When we finally passed a copy of the mini-issue to AZLANTHOR, he just told us "Salute ! HORMALA still remains underground" ...
