Not one to rest on its laurels, the quintet has successfully raised its profile the old fashioned way – record, tour and record again. This has led to a formidable output of 15 full-length albums since forming in 2009, which the band promoted with tour treks across Europe, taking in some choice metal festivals.
Humiliation is one of the most consistent local bands since formation. Since forming 16 years ago, Humiliation has released 15 full-length studio albums, 12 split EPs with various bands worldwide, one live compilation and two EPs either on CD, vinyl and cassette formats. Talk us through this work ethic that has shaped the band since the debut EP Face the Disaster.
The band had an initial target of achieving five albums just as a means to avoid the project dying out halfway. It was also a measure of progress. It is also a result of the band members’ discipline and commitment.
Humiliation is also a heavy touring machine, having played Japan and numerous European festivals. Talk us through your experiences.
Later that year, our label (Ultra Hingax Productions) which had close ties with a Japanese label (Bloodbath Records) proposed a four-date tour in Japan. We were extremely nervous seeing how good and professional the supporting Japanese bands were but we did great!
Since then, we have been privileged to play countless European tours and festivals.
What are your expectations for the September European dates?
old-time friends. Energy from the crowd is something that we miss a lot. In short, we hope we can regain our momentum as a touring band since we also treat this tour as a restart after being silent on the live circuit for five years.
In general, the reception is positive. Anyhow, we are not a big band, so we do not put too high hopes. It is hard to anticipate things when you are abroad. For friends-like organisers, they treat you good most of the time. For big event such as an open-air festival, they usually treat you very professionally.
We wanted to experience a different studio environment with the new record. After evaluating a few studios, we chose Jongro Music Studio in Kuala Lumpur for the drum and vocal tracks, while guitar and bass tracks were done at No Where Studio (also in Kuala Lumpur). Sendart (Khairul Wan) was responsible for the sound engineering, mixing and mastering of Echoes of Annexation.
We are hoping recording in a new studio and bringing a new recording engineer will have an influence on the sound. We also collaborated with a new artist on the album art – Kei Vector.
Let this release bleed your ears and crush you like a tank-rolling when you see us live! Since some of the band members are passing the
