J: I’ve played with Sham(guitars) and Azli(drummer of Ex-Martyrdom)previously and we did meet at the rehearsal Studio ocassionally when I was still playing in Ossuary (Singapore). Their music is sick and man...i was struck by their capabilities . Well,right after I left Ossuary, I was approached by Azli to replace Xul (of ex-Impiety)who quit the band.

AoP: Can you remember your first gig (how did it go)?
