BIOGRAPHY

Back in 1989 in Kuala Terengganu, Modar was first incarnation with the lineup of Lani (Bass/Vocals), Tok Ari (Lead Guitar), Bujor (Guitar) and Nusi (Drums). During that time, there were no gigs in town, only pop stuffs were buzzing around, the jamming studio was the closest to a concert. So, most of the guys and their fans cramped themselves into the small room in order to listen to their stuff.

Around December 1990, Modar lost their original guitarist, Bujor and they acquired a new member, Mang (we call him Lan nowadays) which eventually became the main instigator of Modar’s future activities. Man was from a band called Bota & Orion in Kuala Terengganu and when he became a member of Modar, he handled the vocals duties. From that day, Modar has started playing death metal taking Death as their main influence.

Around April 1991, Tok Ari & Lani decided to do something else and left Modar. Man & Nusi tried out Imi (Bass) and Zombie (Drums), unfortunately they did not work out good. Later they found Bujal (Drums) and Nusi switched his position to bass. At this moment, they changed their band’s name to Demori & recorded a demo tape titled “Victims of the Rule” which consists of 4 songs. This demo never made available to the public and later was accidentally destroyed be Man. Then, the band begun to find their own identity & sound and started to play their own interpretation of Doom.  

In August 1991, Tok Ari rejoined the band on lead guitar and the band reverted to their previous band name, Modar. This lineup got their first performance at the town’s bus station & able to record a demo called “Inferior Symphony” with 4 songs included. Man opened his own studio called “Neutral Music Studio” and practically the band sleep, eat and jam at the studio every night. They even jam with the lights out except a couple of candles to catch the atmosphere.

Around September 1991, Tok Ari left the band again and was replaced by Joe (Bass) and Nusi moved back to playing rhythm & vocals. In the early 1992, the band went to KL and recorded a proper demo which consist 10 songs at Hellions Studio. When the band returned to their hometown, he decided not to sell to demo because the recording doesn’t represent the sound they were aiming for.

In April 1992, the band went back to KL and recorded their first album “Inferior Symphony” under FGM Records, the parent company to Sonic Asylum and Modar was the first ever band recorded a Doom Metal concept album in this region.

A few years has passed, the band has been dismantled due to each member’s personal reason. In 2006, Lan (Mang) who is a guitar teacher in a leading guitar shop around Taman Tun Dr. Ismail area decided to reform Modar back for a return. Unfortunately, most of the band members are busy with their personal lives. Lan decided to use the students of the guitar shop as Modar’s new band members.

Lan decided to take Ariff (Guitars), Afiq (Bass) and Gabrielle (Drums) as the new breed of Modar’s lineup. After a few jamming sessions, Gabrielle sadly had to leave the band due to her studies and in the early of 2007, Lan took Azman as the replacement of Modar’s drummer. Unfortunately, after a few gigs around KL, Azman had to leave the band due to personal reasons. Lan quickly found a replacement from one of his students named Rashid. This is the new breed of Modar!
