I was in in Form 5/Lower 6/Matrix when BELANTARA released their albums. Time tu, selain dengar/main Scorpions, Wings, Bloodshed, SYJ, Search, budak-budak era tu dengar jugak Iron Maiden, Loudness, Judas Priest, ACDC, Metallica, Manowar, Ozzy Ozbourne, Black Sabbath etc dan juga genre lain including New Waves eeeee (macam Boy George dan beberapa lagi, lupa..) Still remember, having heard Belantara's 1st album, we reacted --- o yes, this is the music we're looking for - Malaysian style-heavy rock (that time la.. we're band boys) BELANTARA music/melody went straight to heart >>> yes!

(ha ha mana budak SPM/Matrix/KPP... sure korang teringat punya lagu nostalgia BELANTARA ni...)

Belantara was established in 1986 by 3 Malaysian students @ Washington State University/University of Idaho - Shuk (bass vocals), Zaid (lead vocals) & Aziz (guitars). When i was in Form 1.5 and Form 2 @ SMS Muar, there were group of students i.e. TOEFL studied together with us. Diaorang punya skill pehhhh excellent! Allrounder, macam2 depa boleh buat he he he... i believe, geng BELANTARA adalah dari TOEFL ataupun batch seangkatan dengan depa nationwide. Kami lost contact dengan abang-abang and kakak-kakak TOEFL. yang baik dengan kami ialah Bro. BAM (orang Melaka, Tengkera kalau tak silap dengan suka tagline - its finger lickin' good!!!). Pls contact contact k!

In 80's, younger generation (kami le tu) slowly accepting the Rock-Heavy Metal music and becoming very popular later. My favourite M.Nasir also helped many band/groups then to produce albums. And for Belantara, their albums were very well received by budak U.
