Kolbenfaust is a Malaysian Metal band founded in 2010, best known for their crushing riffs and violent rhythms. Over the years, the band has opened for Grindcore and Death Metal legends Carcass and Aborted during their respective Asian tours in the mid-2010s, and have played numerous shows and festivals over the years – both in Malaysia and neighboring countries like Indonesia. Founded in 2010, Kolbenfaust’s signature sound is defined by the twin leads of their two co-founding guitarists – the dissonant harmonies of Jay Adam interweaving with the brutal riffage of the late Greg Bajien, to create a sound that can only be described as a full-frontal assault on the senses. The interplay between their guitarwork laid the foundations for the band’s sound until the latter’s sudden passing in 2022. Kolbenfaust’s songs are a blend of the members’ collective musical influences. Listeners can hear elements of Metalcore (“Tomb of the Lost Disciples”), Grindcore (“To the Hand that Enslaves”), Death Metal (“Paresthesia”), Groove Metal (“Invictus Maneo”), and Djent (“Cycle of Perpetual Suffering”). Keen-eared Listeners may also pick up homages to the band’s rich Bornean heritage through the melodies hidden in their crushing riffs and violent rhythms. (“Feast of the Jackals”) Since the passing of late band co-founder Greg Bajien, the current lineup of Kolbenfaust is: Jay Adam – Guitar Kasmady Adzren – Drums Dingkle Nawas – Vocals Matt Liew – Bass Mahesh Dass – Guitar A lil bit flashback about the name Kolbenfaust that they created. The birth of the name Kolbenfaust (actually it's originally came in 2 phrases which is 'Kolben' and 'Faust') came about as a ‘direct’ translation of an English name they were thinking about back in 2009. They were thinking of ‘Piston Fist’ at first but they thought it sounded too punk/core so they just messed around with Google translate and found the German translation for that to be unique.
