Nitrus

Making a baby tree grow

2009-06-28T09:30:00.000-07:00

For a band that has been around for so long, this is the least I could do to help my new found friends. It's funny how everything started. Like any other journalist, I always feel the need to cover events and bands that I personally feel have the potential, whether or not I like them personally.

I remembered so vividly three years ago, I was a student at a college. I thought to myself, "We have so many great talents in the country but nobody really features them. I wish I could help the independent scene and bands to get the coverage they deserve." I never knew that today, I am one with the access to feature great bands in the newspaper.

Some may say that this band is just another band and I respect that, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion on things. I understand that this isn't much, but like I mentioned earlier, it's the least I could do. I really hope that fans will keep on supporting this precious band - don't let them die.

SUPPORT is crucial for everyone, including a band that has been around for 10 years!

Nitrus may be a familiar name for those who are tuned into the local music scene. For those who are not, it's not too late!

The band's popularity soared with the release of the Kami soundtrack in 2007. The soundtrack was inspired by Kami, the hit TV series on 8TV. Nitrus was one of the indie bands featured alongside big names in the underground scene like Love Me Butch and OAG.

If you have not heard of their hits, including Kamu, Hujung Dunia and Sisa, check out their MySpace at www.myspace.com/nitrusband.

While many artistes come and go, Nitrus has managed to maintain a rocking presence on the scene with good lyrics and music.

"We're not a technical band. If we're considered technical it'd be in songwriting and the presentation of the songs, but never in playing," said guitarist, Syed Helmy Alhabshi.

According to him, Nitrus is heavy only in terms of the interpretation of their music, especially the lyrics.

Consistent, captivating yet deep, Nitrus started out in 1999 when vocalist Eddie, real name Edriely Ibrahim, had an intense desire to start a band with his mate, Syed and two other friends.

"Better Days and Twisted were the first songs we wrote and the band finally released the songs in a compilation album titled Another Boring Sunday in 2001. By then, we had recruited two new members, bassist Mohd Azle Mohd Isa and drummer Iskandar Syah Ali," he said.

Later, the band released their first album titled Rasa, which took four years to record.

"There were a lot of fill-ins, very experimental, as at the time we weren't sure if we were capable of producing good tunes.

"Also, we didn't have any specific direction relative to where we were heading. But because of that, everything
fell into place beautifully and here we are. I guess we just went with the flow," he said.

This resulted in Hujung Dunia, which was the first song featuring Eddie as the lead vocalist. The tune was later featured in local film, Goodbye Boys.

"After that, we tried to minimise our musical arrangements. Our new goal was to make tunes that people could
easily appreciate and enjoy. We took only two weeks to record.

‘‘Previously, we took four years to finish preparing Rasa. It definitely got us to test our credibility as musicians. Plus, we learnt a lot during the recording sessions of the first album," Eddie added.

Through the years, Nitrus has developed a style of deep, sophisticated music that banks on its strong lyrics.

In August last year, Nitrus launched their second album, simply titled Nitrus.

Fans who couldn't get enough of them claimed that, "When you really like a band, you just don't compare them with other bands that share a similar sound."

Another cited, "from the first track Tunggu Esok to Benar Salahku, the lyrics are good enough to deserve a literature award for the meaningfully crafted words and good melodies."

NITRUS CHECKS IN!

2009-05-22T08:13:00.000-07:00

Hey kids, this is a very quick update from us boys of Nitrus!

We noticed that we haven't been updating much. So this is for you guys out there who never fail to support us, even though just by reading our blog, it means the world to us!

So we had a show at Laundry Bar, the Curve last night (May 21). It started at 10pm but we only played around 11pm (if I'm not mistaken). It was great. As much as the atmosphere was terrific, the people there were too. And we absolutely hope that those who went had fun, especially Nitrus' armies out there who went just to catch us live! We are so thankful for having such wonderful fans supporting us throughout the years.

Anyway, we managed to catch the band before us play. I don't believe I remember the band's name (our apology) but they were really entertaining. I guess it's the frontwoman who nailed the set because she was so energetic and quirkily fun. In a good way of course. Before we know it, our heads, as well as others' were nodding, following the beats of their songs. It was a good set for them, it really was.

Which lead us to our performance. We were up after the previous band finished performing their set. So we got ourselves all geared up with our weapons of choice, we hit the stage and strummed our way through the night. If you noticed, we had Fahar as the sessionist vocalist, covering Eddie as he couldn't make it. Discreetly, I'm sure that Eddie personally wished that he was there to perform.

Under the warm lights in the bar full of people, we jammed three songs - two cover songs, originally performed by Muse (Time is Running Out and Hysteria) and our own song called Cinta. The show was fast - it was definitely short and sweet. We don't know about you guys but it certainly felt like home. As cheesy as that sounds. Haha.

Before we forget, kami dah ada Twitter! Jadi sekarang korang semua dah boleh "ikut" kami. We will try to update as often as we can. So head down to http://twitter.com/NitrusBand, and start following us. We love being stalked by you guys! Kepada yg takde Twitter tu, apa lagi, buatla sekarang! Haha.

That's it boys and girls, that's all we have for you guys. We're taking a bow. Hit us up with comments if you guys were there or just to say hi, it sure is nice to get a warm hello every now and then! Couldn't have come this far without the armies - YOU! So until next time, take care and always be safe.

P/S: Don't forget to support the local music scene. Peace out.

Review Album "2" Harian Metro

2009-04-13T21:03:00.001-07:00

Respirasi Muzik: Cita rasa pelbagai dalam Nitrus

Rap

Album: Nitrus
Artis: Nitrus

KUMPULAN Nitrus mula dikenali apabila single mereka, Hujung Dunia menjadi lagu latar untuk drama dan filem Gol & Gincu arahan Bernard Chauley.

Sejak itu, setiap karya dihasilkan kumpulan dianggotai Edriely Ibrahim (Eddy-vokal), Syed Helmy Syed Hood (Syed-gitar), Mohd Azie Mohd Isa (Bob-bass) dan Iskandar Shah Ali (Is-dram) menjadi perhatian pendengar muzik tempatan.

Menarik mengenai lagu yang dimuatkan dalam album Nitrus ini, ia bertunjangkan rock, tetapi mempunyai cita rasa pelbagai. Malah apabila menghayati lagu Resah, pengaruh irama brit pop cukup kuat. Riwayat dan Selalu di Hati pula pengaruh ska dan pop menjadikan ia mudah diterima dan muziknya begitu ringan.

Dalam erti kata lain, album Nitrus agak seimbang dari sudut melodi dan penyampaian. Malah susunan muziknya berada di tahap baik. Persembahan permainan instrumen juga terkawal dan seiring dengan vokal dipersembahkan Eddy.

Paling menarik perhatian dalam album Nitrus ini apabila mereka turut menampilkan lagu bertemakan ketuhanan, Tuhan ciptaan vokalisnya. Penyampaian liriknya mudah untuk difahami dan ia kedengaran sangat jujur.

NITRUS-Masih Sama

Semenjak kecil ku tertanya

Apa terjadi di sana

Sering saja mengemis, menangis

Tapi kini ku dah dewasa

(Ku) lihat derita di sana

Apa yang terjadi masih sama

Adakah kita buta

Biarkan mereka dilapah

Tapi yang sebenarnya kita

Tak upaya apa

Cho:

Masih kita…relakannya

Pentas dunia karya mereka

Harganya nyawa dan digniti kita

Masih sama

Masih mainan mereka

Terus dihina kerna kita tak sekata…na na na

Ku rasa ku tahu jawabnya

Ceritanya masih sama

Sering saja mengemis, menangis

Kalangan kita yang upaya

Dikabur nikmat dunia

Yang sebenar hanya sisa mereka

Masihkah kita buta

Biar dianjing mereka

Tapi yang sebenarnya kita

Tak menghayatinya

Cho:

Masih kita…relakannya

Pentas dunia karya mereka

Harganya nyawa dan digniti kita

Masih sama

Masih mainan mereka

Terus dihina kerna kita tak sekata…na na na

Solo

Cho:

Masih kita…relakannya

Pentas dunia karya mereka

Harganya nyawa dan digniti kita

Masih sama

Masih mainan mereka

Terus dihina kerna kita tak sekata…na na na

Sampai bila…kita rela

Saksi lakonan mereka

Pentas dunia, ini miliknya

Harga nyawa digniti kita…na na na

CINTA

Langkah ku makin panjang
Menuju arah itu
Aku pasti di sana kau menunggu

Biarpun lelah jiwaku
Ternampak oleh mu
Aku pasti kau lebih tahu

Ku merenung dan merindu
Jelas untukmu kasih
Hanya untukmu

Yakin aku hampiri dirimu yang semakin jauh
Yakin kamu menanti diriku yang sering keliru
Kan ku tuju,kan ku tuju,dan di situ
Halalkanlah aku

Resah yang makin hilang
Ditinggalkan jejak ku
Aku pasti mahumu begitu

Biar terkadang waktu
Bertatih mencarimu
Aku pasti kaulah yang satu

Kau merenung dan merindu
Jelas untukku kasih
Hanya untukku

Yakin aku hampiri dirimu yang semakin jauh
Yakin kamu menanti diriku yang sering keliru
Kan ku tuju,kan ku tuju,dan di situ
Halalkanlah aku

Yang ku inginkan hanyalah CINTA

Another Album "2" Comment

2008-10-06T15:38:00.000-07:00

Comment From:http://www.jasemarioworld.blogspot.com/

Ini merupakan Single Terbaru yang dilahirkan oleh Indie Band ini bersempena dengan Bulan 1000 Rahmat ini, Ramadhan. Dalam album kedua band ini, lagu ini dinyanyikan spenuhnya oleh Vokalis Band ini tetapi jika kita berkesempatan mendapatkan Album Single Ramadan daripada Metamobile "CINTA YANG SEMPURNA". Single TUHAN ini menampilkan Afgan (penyanyi Indonesia) sementara CINTA YANG SEMPURNA pula adalah kolaborasi di antara 6ixthsense dan Noe vokalis Letto. Lagu TUHAN ini memang syahdu di dengar dengan lirik yang amat bersahaja dan dekat dengan diri kita. Jika selalu diputarkan di radio, saya kira boleh melekat di jiwa kita.

SELALU DI HATI adalah lagu yang paling digemari oleh saya dari album ini. Kali pertama saya dengar lagu ini ketika pulang dari Shah Alam ke Putra Permai memang dah tahu yang lagu ini akan melekat di jiwa saya. Saya kira lagu ini ada influence lagu Band Indonesia sebab itulah lagi mudah saya minati. Suara vokalis yang bersahaja memang ngam dengan melodi lagu ini yang amat santai. "ternyatanya kau selalu di hati... semua yang hilang tak ku ganti..." wow.. syahdu dan melankolik.

BINTANG-BINTANG jatuh No 2. Lagu ini amat moderate, bersahaja dan 'easy listening'. Liriknya juga seperti puitis tapi mudah difahami. Sebenarnya lagu mengenai sahabat selalunya akan melekat di jiwa saya (contoh : Sahabat Sejati - SO7). Dengan lirik yang amat positif, lagu ini memang sesuai dijadikan pembakar semangat tika berjauhan, bersendirian atau mencari keteguhan jiwa. Lihat saja... "teman ku punya cita-cita... yang kan ku genggam akhirnya... sudikah teruja tuk bersama... melewati ruang angkasa..." Bukankah itu amat indah sekali?

Ya... saya asyik bercerita tentang lagu itu dan lagu ini... Yaaa... ketiga-tiga lagu indah di atas terkadung dalam album 'Nitrus -2', Indie Band yang pernah memenangi Artis Harapan AIM 2002. Macam tak percaya sahaja. Yalah... saya bukannya pengikut Band Indie haruslaah terlepas pandang akan catatan peristiwa ini. Mungkin dahulu Band ini menyanyikan lagi Inggeris rasanya. Selain dari 3 lagu di atas... Lagu-lagu lain yang tidak kurang menariknya ialah Sisa (yang dah masuk pencalonan MuzikMuzik), Resah (Single Pertama), Hujung Dunia (Sound Track "Good Bye Boys") & Benar Salahku. Sebenarnya Eddy (Vokal/Gitar), Bob (Basis) & Is (Drummer) menurunkan tandatangan di cover CD ini, namun disebabkana menggunakan dakwat hitam, ia kurang menonjol. Yang pastinya semasa saya bertanya Eddy album mana lagi best... Nitrus @ E*******? Kata Eddy tentulah Nitrus. Dan setelah 3 kali mengulang main CD ini, memang Eddy tak masuk bakul angkat sendiri. Ternyata berbaloi memiliki CD ini !!!

Sempat lagi saya bergambar dengan Eddy - Vokalis Nitrus. 'Down to Earth' dan sempoi. YES... Eddy juga pemakai CROCS... Lagi sorang selebriti yang memakai Crocs selain Mawi, Misha & Farah (yang saya tahu laaa) !!!. Sebenarnya Nitrus membuat persembahan pada jam 4.00 ptg rasanya di SACC Mall, Shah Alam hari ini (20/10/2008). Jika nak tahu lebih lanjut mengenai Nitrus; klik di sini.

A long note for NITRUS

2008-10-05T20:55:00.000-07:00

Hello Nitrus.
My name is Nazirah and I've been a fan since those early days of 'Better Days' and later when the band won an AIM for 'Most Promising Artist'. Then there was 'Rasa' and now I finally got myself the second album (which I bought the CD last Sunday).

I've never written anything to Nitrus. You guys have been one of my favorite local band and I'm so addicted to 'Resah' that I made it my caller ringtone, (used to) made it a Myspace profile song, sing my heart out whenever I listen to it, (used to) cried once and talk religiously about the song - "If my life is a movie, then 'Resah' would be part of the soundtrack." I can totally relate to it. Period.

Well, the album is good. Not beyond my expectation but not bad at all either. It is indeed a good sophomore effort. It's just better than 'Rasa'; way better.

I am totally amazed by the lyrics I found in the album. Each and every single one of them are very well-written yet very very meaningful. From 'Tunggu Esok' that remind me of my own poem titled 'Aku' to that very beautifully written 'Benar Salahku' which had caught my attention right away.

I can't stop staring at the album sleeve, looking passionately at the lyric of 'Benar Salahku'. These words lingers in my head even till now: "Jika cinta bukan pilihan, jika rasa itu hanya usikan, jika rindu hanya bertamu, ku relakan ia berlalu."

What this song is about really?

Is it a song about letting go? Of mistakes that seems hard to turn back time and be corrected? If that's what it means, then I hate Syed for writing such a song that reminded me of a one small part of my past that I never wanted to re-visit.

Nah, I never meant what I said when I used the word 'hate'. Instead, Syed did such an amazing music and lyric that speaks of real story and real feelings. The song speaks for itself. I wonder if he had to go through such a situation that he tells it right and perfectly well. I couldn't imagine someone who didn't experienced the situation would ever come out with something real and perfectly written. I just can't imagine that.

You see, I can go hours talking about 'Benar Salahku' alone. Every single sentence of it, they can make me argue. And I remember it very well that I've once said to 'him', apologizing for this feeling which Syed mentioned in the last verse of the song.

I'm glad I never cried because if I did, then I will make sure that I'll never listen to the song again but that would be a waste and a shame because such an amazing music is meant to be listen to, to be praised and be shared. Thank you for such an amazing song. Thanks to Eddie for that effortless vocal that suits the song best. The whole thing is just awesome and again, if my life is a movie, 'Benar Salahku' would also be part of the soundtrack. Period.

And it's more than just 'Benar Salahku' and 'Resah'. '2' caught my attention through the song 'Tuhan' too. I salute you guys for working on such a beautiful religious song that doesn't need to be one of those nasyid song. You stick to your musical root and give us (listeners) something to think about, a reminder. I don't think that I will ever get my hands on CDs by Raihan or Rabbani but this kind of song in a Nitrus CD play a huge part in working on the 'dakwah' as much as the fellow nasyid groups. Amazing.

Compared to 'Rasa', I can see that the band is putting it's direction towards a more deep-sophisticated music that depends very much on its lyrics. From the first track 'Tunggu Esok' to my favorite 'Benar Salahku', I just find the lyrics to be up to that extent that deserves a sastera award, if not those AIM ones.

Are you guys poet? Or do you study literature at school/college? Those perfectly written words are superb. They're excellent. Even the lyric of such straight-forward songs like 'Sisa' and 'Bintang Bintang' are admitted efforltlessly written lyric that have its poetrical values.

JUst like 'Benar Salahku', I can write a lot more to respond and discuss about the lyrics of the songs in the album. But, I just can't do that now. I can feel my hand aching. Haha.

But musically, some of the songs are still those kind of music that I've listened to, I've gotten used to, they're musically Nitrus-oriented. They're obvious and expected. I don't know why but I keep skipping 'Cinta' and 'Selalu Dihati' a lot. I'm sorry, but they just doesn't appeal to me much.

Overall, I love the CD. It's totally worth it. Rm39.90 for such great well-produced music are totally valueable. I thank you Nitrus for offering such great local music to me, that brightens my day and make me happy that I've spent my money on something worth more than just the normal respond: "We can download."

Ah, no! Not in a thousand years. And have I mentioned how attracted I am to the different artworks that reflects the different songs on the album sleeve? They're extremely cool. I mean, you might not go with a continuous concept that go through every pages but THAT is the concept. The artworks are beautiful, deep yet captivating.

Ah, I love Nitrus. I just looooveeee Nitrus. Period. In one of these days, I would really love to go catch you guys live whenever my time allows me too. But I definitely will and that would be a promise. And in one of these days, I would really love to see you guys play it for me 'Benar Salahku'. Maybe for my birthday later in December? Haha, I know it's just too much for a birthday wish. Hahaha.

Take care, people. Selamat hari raya! And write more great music, write more more more please. I love the band, I love Nitrus and will always do. Have a nice day people!

Regards, NAZIRAH.

KENYATAAN AKHBAR ALBUM "2"

2008-05-21T03:04:00.000-07:00

KENYATAAN AKHBAR

Kebangkitan kumpulan muzik independent tempatan menguasai industri muzik tempatan masa kini disambut positif. Perjuangan dilakukan kumpulan terdahulu kini menampakkan sinar.

Penganjuran persembahan ‘gig’ secara tidak langsung berjaya memperkenalkan karya terbaik dihasilkan beberapa kumpulan dan antara pelopor kepada perkembangan muzik indie ini, kumpulan Nitrus yang dianggotai Edriely Ibrahim- Eddie (Vocal/Guitar), Syed Helmy Alhabshi - Syed (gitar utama), Mohd Azle Mohd Isa - Bob (bass) dan Iskandar Syah Ali - Is (drum).

Permulaan Nitrus & Anugerah Artis Harapan AIM 2002

Memulakan kerjaya muzik sekitar 1999, demo dihasilkan Better Days dan Twisted berjaya menarik minat Posse Records sekali gus memberikan ruang kepada Nitrus untuk bertapak dalam industri muzik tempatan dengan merakamkan dua lagu terbabit dalam album kompilasi Another Boring Sunday.

Permulaan awal memberikan pulangan besar kepada kumpulan Nitrus apabila memenangi Anugerah Artis Harapan di Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) 2002.

Album Sulung RASA

Album sulung Nitrus muncul dua tahun kemudian, RASA yang turut memuatkan kembali lagu Better Days dan Twisted. Lebih menarik apabila mereka turut menghasilkan lagu dalam Bahasa Melayu, Kamu dan sekali gus membuktikan kemampuan mereka apabila album terbabit turut dicalonkan dalam kategori Album Poprock Terbaik, AIM 13.

RASA berjaya mengukuhkan kedudukan Nitrus antara kumpulan diminati kerana karya yang dihasilkan sangat bermutu dan mampu menarik hati peminat industri muzik tempatan. Mereka turut menjadi kumpulan indie pertama berbahasa Melayu layak dicalonkan dalam AIM13.

Album Baru “2 “

Hampir dua tahun menyepikan diri, Nitrus kembali dengan karya-karya terbaik mereka menerusi album 2 yang mula dipasarkan dan dilancarkan 8 April ini. Walaupun sibuk dengan pembikinan album kedua, Nitrus tidak meninggalkan peminat dengan tanda tanya sama ada mereka masih aktif atau tidak kerana lagu Hujung Dunia yang menghiasi latar filem Good Bye Boys dan turut mendaki carta lagu popular tempatan menjadi pengubat rindu.

Album 2 mengambil masa setahun pembikinannya bermula daripada proses penyusunan lagu, rakaman, adunan sehingga suntingan. Pastinya dalam usaha memastikan album kedua ini lebih mantap berbanding karya sebelumnya mereka turut berkolaborasi dengan pemuzik handalan dalam industri muzik tempatan.

Proses rakaman album 2 berlangsung selama enam minggu di penghujung tahun 2007 di tiga buah studio iaitu Surtin Record Studio Kota Damansara, NSR Studio Taman Tun Dr Ismail dan King Studio Petaling Jaya. Proses rakaman ini sekali lagi menemukan anggota Nitrus dengan tenaga kerja cukup berpengalaman seperti jurutera studion Amir dari NSR Studio yang pernah menghasilkan album Exist dan Jinbara, Greg Henderson (Ferhad, & Butterfingers) dan Zairi (Search, Kristal & XPDC). Syed sendiri turut terbabit dalam kerja-kerja susunan lagu terpilih yang dimuatkan di dalam album ini.

Album 2 menampilkan 10 lagu seperti Sisa yang dijangka akan menjadi satu lagi lagu yang bakal menaikkan nama Nitrus terutama apabila mengadakan persembahan secara langsung. Masih mengekalkan konsep rock namun kali ini lagu-lagu yang dihasilkan sendiri anggota kumpulan Nitrus terutamanya Eddie dan Syed turut disulami irama lebih ringan dan komersil.

Cinta pula menampilkan sisi jiwa Eddie dalam menghasilkan lagu cinta bersama lirik cukup meruntun rasa. Single pertama Resah bakal menjadi lagu cinta melankolik diminati ramai dengan liriknya cukup tajam. Lagu lain seperti Benar Salahku and Selalu Di Hati juga tidak kurang menarik.

Selain itu ada beberapa tema dalam lirik dihasilkan lebih dekat dengan kehidupan semasa seperti perhubungan, ketuhanan, kritikan sosial.

Mendengar keseluruhan lagu di dalam album ini, pendengar akan mengalami satu kembara muzik yang bervariasi dan mengusik emosi . Apa yang menarik apabila album ini dilancarkan secara digital sebelum ia dipasarkan secara fizikal dalam bentuk cakera padat.

Sudah tentu dengan penampilan penyanyi baru turut membawa perubahan kepada karya dihasilkan anggota Nitrus. Sentuhan kumpulan ini dalam menulis lagu biasanya memaparkan perbezaan citarasa setiap anggota berbanding kebanyakannya lebih mudah menerima konsep ditetapkan.

Perkara ini jelas kedengaran dalam album 2. Ia merupakan hasil kerja kolektif. Pengaruh muzik baru berserta dengan pengalaman dimiliki memainkan peranan penting dalam menghasilkan album ini.
