The spirit that brought its predecessors is still struggling old school `traditional pattern ', proud to be the band's cover version! Among them all, only the lucky Roxx recording for their first single, "Rock echo". This happens because they are one of the finalists Festival Rock Indonesia Se-to-V. Get a recording contract from the label is obsession is too much time. Instead of recording, demo recordings can be played on the radio they are happy. At that time a regular radio station aired music rock / metal is the Bahamas Radio, Radio Metro Jaya and SK Radio. From some of the radio is probably the most legendary Mustang Radio. They have a program called Rock N 'Rhythm which airs every Wednesday night from 19.00 - 21.00.

Two international metal supergroup concert in Indonesia, Sepultura (1992) and Metallica (1993) gives considerable contribution to the development of a type of metal bands in Indonesia. Not long after Sepultura successful "burn" the Jakarta and Surabaya, speed metal band Roxx released self-titled debut album under the label they Blackboard. This cassette album would be one of the Indonesian classic speed metal album of the 90s era. The same thing is also experienced by the rotor.

After the major local label, Aquarius Musikindo, just at the beginning of 1995 they released the album 'The Head Sucker'. Sucker Head Until now there were already released four albums.
Of such a long journey underground rock in the country, perhaps in the first half of the new 90-anlah started many scenes formed underground in the real sense in Indonesia. In Jakarta alone consolidation massive metal scene centered in Block M in early 1995. At that time most of the kids metal is often seen hanging out on the 6th floor game center Blok M Plaza and at a famous restaurant franchise there. Their activities other than hang out is the exchange of information about local bands and international, CD barter, buying and selling t-shirts metal to plan for organizing the concert. Some others choose to hang out in the basement of Block Mall which happened to be located underground.

London Scene
In early 1994 there were around London music studio which became the forerunner of the legendary underground rock scene there. His name Studio Reverse Sukasenang located in the area. The establishment of this studio was conceived by Richard Mutter (then drummer PAS) and Helvi. When growing Reverse then expanded its business by opening distribution (acronym of distribution) that sell CDs, tapes, posters, t-shirts, and many other imported accessories. Apart from distribution, Richard also had formed an independent label 40.1.24 that their first release in 1997 is a compilation CD titled "Masaindahbangetsekalipisan."
