Arise Cavalera in his recent interview with Musik.or.id said this year’s issue emphasizes more East Java bands, differed than previous editions. He disclosed the fictitious name Bakul Kangkung Production being used in organizing the show is for fun purposes only.

The Mojokerto Black Conspiracy was declared on 30 January 2011 by three underground legionnaires Alexander Johnko, Arise Cavalera and Arap Pat Nggenah. The latter is drummer of Mojokerto-based brutal death metal act Range of Mutilated, a veteran band in East Java extreme music spectrum. The fourth guy Untung Sitanggang joined the company during the third installment. The squad survives until now and active in organizing some local events e.g. bimonthly-metal-gig Black Generation Party; charity concerts; and music shows in Mojokerto’s Car Free Night, co-organized with Mojokerto Police Department.

Last February, Alexander Johnko told www.Musik.or.id, the event aims to make strong bond between local metalheads; and giving access to local musicians to get their talent recognized and  chance to hang out with guest musicians,  while spectators are given opportunities to enjoy good shows.
