REVOGAR: 5000 Records Sold In Indonesia (Conflict, Death And Oppression Pt 02.)
February 6, 2015
Well, and the story is not over, after this embarrassing start (you recalled here: https://bit.ly/1u06HyR) which generated a mixture of joy and concern, the situation is closed again, which of fact put at stake the future of REVOGAR since past the "boom" of five thousand sold copies, ENJOY VIOLENCE RECORDS label had seized all his material, and what seemed impossible happened, how account LLHAN WASKITA MAUT:
"Before all go away I received a summons to appear the next day in the police station to account for the products I was distributing, hours later I found that in a religious conflict on the day a person had been arrested on the shirt of the repeal, unfortunately it was a murder and had two more people involved, which would soon were captured at home and there came the biggest surprise... they also had in their t-shirts Revogar belongings which made the police think it was the beginning of a religious conflict initiated by an apology of a local band, Indonesia is common this type of religious conflict between segregation of different dogmas, but what really makes us scared is that when a person decides to kill someone for religious reasons this becomes a relevant fact, but a band talking about anti religion peacefully this is considered a crime;
Sold more than 5000 copies of the "VDS" album throughout Indonesia in digipack format + shirt + Poster A4, which is very hard to do because everyone here went through financial difficulties and ended up yielding to the pirated material, but with the Revogar it did not, which made us work hard for 1 year, we were prepared to bring the band to tour and we had 11 guaranteed dates, but soon the band changed the formation for the 2nd time and 3 months later collect all Revoke the material my office today I think it was just as well, because if they were here on tour when the killings occurred surely they would not return to South America.
Recently I received music Rotten Crown email that was sent to me by Wagner Santos and soon I will be leaving Thailand and will live in the UK, and will form my label again and give you certainty that the repeal will be my flagship and there I will not have problems in being able to express what I and my friends like, and certainly live healthy with my family.
P/S: I had to ride across Distro again because everything was collected remains in the police station today."
And it's great story comes to an end, even with all the problems that arose the REVOGAR feel proud of the significant number of sales, which actually won a legion of fans, showing once again that the Heavy Metal overcomes barriers.
Even being barred and even banned in Indonesia, in a corner or another will always have the "deleted" spreading the sound chaos!
