I just can tell you my area (Yogyakarta) scene. In Yogyakarta there is not fuckin' slowly music. Most underground band in here play Brutal Death, Grindcore/Goregrind. Some of them play Hard core, Punk...etc. But now we talk about Brutal Death, Grind/Gore. So, if you play slowly shit style, you're a FUCKIN' WEAK LOOSER !!!!!

The band that include in my interview : Disgorge (CA) & (MEX), Deeds of Flesh, Disfigured, Enemy Soil, Lividity, Soils of Fate, Prophecy, Vomit Remnants... etc plus some interview with some brutal bands in Indonesia.
