As a follower of our band Napalm Death, you would appreciate that our lyrics and ethos challenge the unbroken cycle of violence in the world, whether it comes from a State or as an individual. If these things are not challenged and ultimately changed, I believe we will never truly move forward as humankind.
The band failed to influence the president's decision to execute Chan and Sukumaran. But Napalm Death, and Harmony Corruption, still continue to influence the next generation of Indonesian metalheads. Budi Santos, the owner of Blok M's Deep Rock Music, says that he still sells a lot of Harmony Corruption cassettes."The cassette can go for Rp 35,000 ($2.26 USD) and up, depending on the condition," he told Noisey. "The reissued vinyl goes for around Rp 400,000 ($29 USD). Unless it's the first press, which can easily go for more than Rp 500,000 ($37 USD)."Maybe the vinyl isn't cheap. But 27 years later, Harmony Corruption's influence on Indonesian metal is priceless.Follow Noisey on Twitter.I understand that you are standing as a leader determined to change things for the better, and so I believe granting clemency would be a major step forward in this pursuit of betterment.
