Artist History Hails from Digos City, Davao del Sur, Philippines.Formerly under the name Schizophreniac, composed of Abdullah and Khalil, we changed the name and concept of our band due to several reasons. Under the former name, we were able to produce a single material titled 'Cute Little Worm', the idea of forming Schizophreniac then was to create less than two minute songs tackling trivial and nonsense matters. But things got serious upon receiving positive reaction from some listeners off 'Cute...' we decided to change course and focus our direction to deeper issues. Iblis was the monicker chosen simply for the origin of the word itself is arabic. Inspired by Nile's preoccupation with Ancient Egypt, Iblis follows their trail by adopting an Arabic theme for the band. Abdullah has always been inspired by Arabic culture and attitudes especially their immense dedication to their religion, not to mention some of their many mystical qualities as human beings. Were not into this just for the shit sake of adopting a band theme, but really for our admiration and awe for Arabic culture. The band was able to play along Davao's well known underground bands on the 27th of March 2002. There were positive reactions from the crowd. It was rather fortunate that Limmah decided to join the band two weeks prior to the gig.Khalil on drums is just 12 years old, formerly with Buried Glory. They can all expect this fukkin band to go on bringing forth chaos with explosive music and lyrics! First release: RIGHTEOUS HEGEMONY EP 6 Death Metal Tracks.
