An original metal band from the smoldering tropical couldron that is Indonesia. Like Iron Man meets the Dark Night in a thunderstorm this side of the Bermuda Triangle, Zi Factor is  Indonesian metal with crushing heavy grooves and tribalistic beats, exotic mosh treated riffs and incredible shredding guitars. Gathering influences from the pantheon of metal like Pantera, Sepultura to A7X and System of A Down and old school legends like Led Zep to Iron Maiden but spitting it back out with a twist of their own! And now exploding with their own brand of metal called Tribal Core in their epic Unsound Records mini EP debut - Kill Paradigm in 2008. An intricate blend of east meets west, head bang inducing cacophony of sound, heartfelt ravings of the soul and mind bending over the top twin guitar attack! Welcome to Indonesian metal! (Lyrics are mostly in English, album available in i-tunes & cdbaby.com.)  

"Zi Factor menyebut musiknya Tribal Core, yaitu perpaduan old school & nu school metal diramu dengan nuansa tradisional musik Indonesia seperti sunda, jawa, melayu, sumatra, batak, bali, kalimantan secara modern. Memainkan riff-riff dan groove-groove tribal modern dengan not-not etnis Indonesia super cepat dan twisted melalui gitar Ezra dan Eddy Simanjuntak. Unik, dengan 3 vokalist, dari lantunan powerful tenggorokkan Iwan dan 'harmonisasi' growling Bopaq dan shouter Tyo didukung dentuman bass Yudi dan hentakkan tribal drums Adanz."
