The Long Story Short

Symphonic Blast Production started in the early of 2003, arise from ashes of the dead Ungrateful Bastards Productions [R.I.P! - 1999 ~ 2003]. Ungrateful Bastards Productions started with diminutive distributions of band's releases and merchandises like T-Shirt, Patches, Button and others. Most of the stuffs were sold in local gigs in Malaysia and friends over the world. On that occasion, we are having some financial and monetary problems and we determined to put out and organize some show to recover back our financial adversity tribulations. We have merely accomplish a few shows (around 5 - 7 shows) and we have successfully organize and dig out some endowed bands such as:- Dreaded - brutal death metal Radiata - noise / gore Volition - brutal grindcore Opprobrium Adornment - grindcore Banzai 606 - hardcore grind (now playing thrashcore) Specops - crust / grind (R.I.P!) We are still glad because we still can survive and endure for a few years to preserve and run our production working and progress effectively. We have signed Dreaded to put out a full length EP under Ungrateful Bastards Productions, but it never comes and approach out due to their major line up problem. Our thoughts to make this venture never come true. We persist our effort by irritating to put out Volition / Endless Struggle split EP and this time we achieve it and cope successfully to put it out! Next, our own hometown crust / grind - Specops ready to enter the studio with their executioner song and a superior tracks to records their first full length EP - War Is Not A Solution. It was successfully released under Bazooka Records [R.I.P! - now known as Disarmament Records with the assist and help from Ungrateful Bastards Productions and it's a very disclosure when War Is Not Solution have a good response and reaction from the community and their EP were successfully sold around 500 copies in 3 months. They have played some great shows with Code 13 [US], Power Of Idea [Japan], Demisor [Singapore] and Dregs Of Humanity [Australia] despite the fact that these bands were touring for South East Asia. Ungrateful Bastards Productions have give an opportunity for SPECOPS to release their next full length EP but it never exist because the line up problem. The equivalent things occur again and we vanished a got chance to make it. The depressing news come and Specops has split up and several of their members decide to formed another bands call Banzai 606 and with a lot of effort and exertion they put out an EP called 'Troops Of Tomorrow' with the influence from hardcore grind and released under Broken Noise Records. Another's band is Opprobrium Adornment and the group started in the mid of 1995 with death grind influence and as the time goes by a few changes of line up makes their music changed to death grind to grindcore. In the instance of their scorching term, with assortment of shows everywhere, they have planned to enter studio to record their split EP with Specops' come from unreleased tracks and they have recorded all the song lucratively. On that time, they record all the song only by instrument and without vocal tracks. The band cannot endure for longtime, again for a some reason the band split up for a few times. Few months afterward, they're back with new line up and this time they have accomplish to put out a split EP with Melarat (crust / grind) under Cactus Records. They have changed their moniker and names to Self Made God recently. We got no planned with Radiata after that because of some deep workloads at the time but still keep in touch with the band and still keep on for the their most recent update. At last in early 2003, we decided to end up all activities concerning Ungrateful Bastards Productions and we initiate with new label which is called Symphonic Blast Production to dig up a new verve as well as struggling, learn and gain occurrence for more things to serve you now and so on.
