Putra Pande
Web Developer, Social Media Manager, and Musician in Denpasar, Bali - Indonesia
My name is Putra Pande, better known as BRUTALSICK in the underground scene. I come from Bali, Indonesia, where my passion for Rock and Metal has been a lifelong journey since 1986.
In 1998, I created *Indogrinder - Corpsegrinder Indonesia Webzine*, Indonesia's first webzine devoted to Extreme Metal, covering local bands and artists (http://indogrinder.tripod.com). This pioneering webzine evolved in 2000, rebranding as *Anorexia Orgasm Webzine* (http://anorexia-orgasm.tripod.com) with a focus on Death Metal, Brutal Death, Grindcore, and Goregrind internationally. By 2001, it transformed into *BLOODYORGASM.COM*, adopting a darker, bloodier theme to attract the most intense fans of the genre. Unfortunately, in 2006, I had to close it due to personal commitments, marking the end of an era in online metal coverage.
Beyond the webzine, I contributed to the Indonesian metal scene by helping friends create websites for their bands and labels, including **Extreme Souls Productions**, **Edelweiss Productions**, **GrindButo**, **Bloodygore**, and **Morbifik**. These projects helped establish a digital presence for Indonesian underground metal, which has always been a source of pride for me.
In 2021, after a hiatus, I rejoined the scene with encouragement from my friend Agus Yankky. He inspired me to launch *1921 Baliheadbanger Online Radio (1921BHOR)* (www.1921baliheadbanger.com), a 24/7 Rock and Metal streaming station. As the Online Radio Technician and Social Media Manager, I also take on the role of a music reviewer, sharing my lifelong passion for metal and supporting emerging artists.
In 2023, I launched a one-man project, *KI BARAK SELEM*, blending Death Metal with Balinese Gamelan music. I handle all instruments, while Krisna Tedja provides vocals. The band has released three singles on digital platforms, with more in development.
Mid-2024 marked the return of *BLOODY ORGASM*, now as a goregrind band with my friend Devula. Our debut single and video were released on October 16, 2024, symbolizing a new chapter in BLOODY ORGASM’s legacy.
Even at over 50, my love for Extreme Metal is stronger than ever. This music has been more than a genre—it’s in my veins, and I will carry it with me until the end. Extreme Metal is my life, my soul, and will forever fuel my journey.
