Music - Festival Salihara 2010

Didy Santoso dan Dody Waskito Semarang

Twin Demon

Salihara Theater


Twin Demon presents a back-to-the-roots musical spirit; that in essence, music is a string of notes, no more, no less. Then come vocals and verses as a linguistic attempt to expose a certain story to go with the aforementioned string of notes. What happens next is a series of sound exploration emerging from the strings of two electric guitars, brought to the highest and quickest state, chasing after one another, stepping over one another, and at the same time, there is almost no noise. Without lyrics, the procession of loud-fast-high notes remain pleasing to the ears.

Twin Demon

In choosing a progressive neo-classical metal genre, this instrumental guitar band combines the depth of classical music with the great energy emanating from rock music. Deriving inspiration from the likes of Hess, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Jason Becker, George Bellas, or Yngwie Malmsteen, Didy and Dody prove that creativity in music, especially in metal genre, is indeed unlimited. In Virtual Odyssey, for example, the exploration of the sounds produced through a guitar’s strings is awe-inspiring, displaying a high level of virtuosity also. Undeniably, they are skilled sound makers, in addition to being careful with their harmonies.

Due to their guitar-playing style, their fans in Semarang dubbed them twin demons.

Thus, the duo band named Twin Demon was born in the middle of 2006. This band is a continuation of their project as a duo in exploring artistic possibilities in metal scenes.

Previously, they had created a death metal band, Morbiddust, when they were in junior high school in Semarang.

In July 2010, Twin Demon released a new album titled The Adventure, containing 11 pieces. Prior to this, in 10 October 2007, they released a small album of five song titles, all of which were done by themselves, from recording to the sales of the albums. For their performance at the 2010 Festival Salihara, Twin Demon will be supported by additional names: Suherman Widi Asmoko (keyboard), Yopi Kristian (bass), Bangkit Mahandika (drum).
