Croothead Records to launch Underground Infinity #2

A new independent record company Croothead Records from Bukit Tinggi, West Sumatera will release the second volume of compilation CD “Underground Infinity” on May 5, 2017, consists of bands from Indonesia and Malaysia.

There will be fourteen bands partaking in the compilation, less than the first one, which featured 35 bands from Indonesia, Malaysia, Colombia, Venezuela, Pakistan and Nepal.

The first edition was released by Bogor-based Dead Procces Productions [sic] last year. Croothead has got the rights to release Underground Infinity 2 from Egi Sanjaya, founder of Dead Procces, said Arize Claudio Pratama, owner of Croothead Records.

Arize revealed the second edition was intended to afford bands from West Sumatera only. But when the project was commenced in January 2017, he received many inquiries from all around Indonesia and Malaysia.  Even though there was no band selection, Arize set a limit for the total number of participants to fourteen bands only.

Band who would like to enter the project just submit its song to Arize and send registration fee. In return, the label will send some copies of CDs, posters and t-shirts to each band as the project royalty.

Cover art is designed by Payakumbuh-based artist Hanivan Bagus from Dawek Kaset Art, and lay out is created by the label per se.

This compilation aims to accommodate bands who have not had physical release yet.
