Ghaust is an Instrumental rock Band from Jakarta, Indonesia. With only two members, Uri A. Putra (Guitar) and Margino Edward (Drum). It's also considered as the first Post-Rock band of south east asia.If you know post rock band Pelican, the sound of Ghaust is almost similar to this Band. So far Ghaust is my most favourite indonesian Band. This band had realeased 1 full album, Ghaust - Self Titled, and several split cd.Ghaust also had released several split vinyls with some International Bands such as assethe, pazahora and Black waves. I have to thank to this band for introducing me such heavy metal, doom, sludge, post-rock, hardcore and crust punk sounds. now I am impatiently waiting for their latest releases.
You should try this Pals. Enjoy :)

Heaven's Paintings : Aurora Borealis
I knew neither Aurora nor Aurora Borealis. At that time, the only thing I knew was Aurora Borealis is a song of my fave Band Meat Puppets (later on I also knew It's used also as a titled of a song by another band Pelican). Questions came in my mind. What is aurora borealis? how special they are? Then I tried to googling and searching in wikipedia. It's quite surprised when I know the exactly meaning of aurora borealis. I am not really interested in astronomy yet I love natural phenomenon Indeed.
An aurora (plural: auroras or aurorae) is a natural light display in the sky, particularly in the polar regions, caused by the collision of charged particles directed by the Earth's magnetic field. An aurora is usually observed at night and typically occurs in the ionosphere. It is also referred to as a polar aurora or, collectively, as polar lights. These phenomena are commonly visible between 60 and 72 degrees north and south latitudes, which place them in a ring just within the Arctic and Antarctic polar circles.[citation needed] Auroras do occur deeper inside the polar regions, but these are infrequent and often invisible to the naked eye.
In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.[1] The chance of visibility of the aurora borealis increases with proximity to the North Magnetic Pole.[citation needed] Auroras seen near the magnetic pole may be high overhead, but from farther away, they illuminate the northern horizon as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the Sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis most often occurs near the equinoxes. The northern lights have had a number of names throughout history. The Cree call this phenomenon the "Dance of the Spirits". In Europe, in the Middle Ages, the auroras were commonly believed a sign from God (see Wilfried Schröder, Das Phänomen des Polarlichts, Darmstadt 1984).

I Don't Believe in Luck !!!
Do you agree? hehe seriously, I don't believe in a thing called Luck. I believe everything happening in life has reasons and causes. There is no Luck yet consequences of your previous action indeed. people may say it Karma, azab or whatever it called because I don't know exactly the word to interpret this. have you ever heard wise words "what you plant is what you get latter" so it such a synchronized of those wise words.All the things are temporary in life, nothing lasts forever. It is better to enjoy the life. life is only once right? Life is full of activities and our duty is to add meaning on those activities. that's true there's no perfect happiness in life. Happiness is not to be seek but to be created indeed.

Soundtrack of Your life
Life is a movie. It needs soundtrack to full fill the whole package. everyone has their own soundtrack of life including me. It may not be fair if I only pick any songs from my fave album. therefore I'm gonna pick the whole package of the album indeed. I suppose that several albums I listed below has similarity with yours or in other words you have a great taste pal :) .Here they are:
1. Yo la Tengo - Electr-o-pura
Yo La tengo is my fave Band and electr-o-pura is its masterpiece. It has whole package I wanted to listen. this album is very rich. It consists of many sounds including shoegaze, pop, Indie Rock, Low-fi etc. Tom courtnenay is my fave song in this album, furthermore it is one of my everlasting fave singles :).
2. Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets II
I realized that I was too late in recognizing this goergeous band. it was started when I listened to Nirvana's unplugged in New York in 1994 when Kurt cobain covered 2 of Meat Puppets' songs (Plateau and Lake of Fire) Nice choosen Kurt :). however my fave song in this album is not those 2 songs instead another song, an instrumental song tittled "Aurora Borealis".
3. The Clash - London Calling
I am not a punk :p . Despite including this Punk album to my playlist, I am not an anarchist, rebellion, or whatever it called. I am a peace lover, seriously. Listening this album is such like you listened to a station radio all day long. You can find any genre of music in this album yet still in one Root called Rock. at First I though this album was dominanted by Punk sounds, yet I was mistaken, there are ska, reggea, Jazz, Bossas and any other undescrible sounds. Wrong 'em Boyo is my fave :)
4. Jay Reatard (RIP) - Watch Me Fall
Jay reatard is a 20th century evil singer song writer. He is genius. Jay also has a trade mark using a white flying V Gibson. I love this album very much. Watch me Fall is his second album after Blood Vision in 2004. this album introduced me to Garage Punk( after that I tried to explore this subgenre and ended in vain. I found no one could replace this Fuckin genius Memphis tennesse Devil. I do loved almost all of the tracks in this album. It 's quite terrible when you know that your fave artist die. So do I. In early 2010 Jay was found dead in his house in Memphis Tennese. Until now it is still unknown the cause of his death. Eventhough Jay has passed away but he still has spesial place in my heart, always.

Im not such a metal guy I just listen and appreciate it.
