On 25 December 2017, Mastermind had officially recorded a song called "Dunia Kita Bersama" and in English meaning Our World Together. This song dedicated to the children of the world that live in poverty, hunger and without love due to various reasons such as war, negligence and so on. This is the song video:
"This beautiful small world is not for us, its for our own generations. Don't let them live in hunger, poverty and without love. Help & guide them to make this world a better place!. Mastermind band dedicated this "Dunia Kita Bersama" (Our World Together) song to all children of the world."
Dunia Kita Bersama song was created in September 2017. This song is about a world that we live in together that should be in peace. However in a country like Palestine, their people living in horror due to prolong war with satanic zionist jews (Israel). This song bringing the listeners to understand that we have only one world to live in and how could we not live in a peaceful environment, built up our peaceful community and let our generation to experience the tolerance, respect and honor. This world is not for us but is for our young generation.
This is a jamming version of the Dunia Kita Bersama song. Mastermind will track record this song by the end of December 2017. We dedicated this song to Palestinians that never stop fighting for their rights and honor. This is for you.

Just a simple introduction video to Mastermind Band
Some of their followers and fans were asking what are other songs that Mastermind will have in the near future?. Well in this introduction video, Mastermind shared snippet some of their songs in a raw sound or jamming version sound. This is because the other songs have yet to be recorded in the studio.
Of course there are also some haters that really hate Mastermind's music.. well the band members don't give a fuck about it. Because the main motive of their existence in this band is to share the same interest in this kind of music to the world! I give you some example that not everybody like to listen to old gloomy classical music or blues but doesn't mean those people need to condemn those type of music. Same goes with Mastermind music.
Have you ever imagine that in Malaysia alone we have 32 million people population and every single of them have their own sets of interests in music. Let me put in a broader perspective, imagine that the world population is now 7.6 billion people. Each single of human that live in this world currently have their own music interests. We need to respect other people's work of art, music, interests and so on. Doesn't mean you hate to listen to other type of music and you need to condemn it. Other people might hate your interest or music as well.
Creating a song as a masterpiece is not an easy task as simple as writing a love letter. It needs to be original, have its own melody and the main important thing is "the soul"! All these involve creativity and must came from the deepest space of the heart and peace of mind. It's depend on each individual really. Because have you ever encounter that a song that is so loud!, you can't even heard what the singer is singing and what you can hear was only screaming all the way until its finished but they have thousands or millions of fans around the world. What is your opinion about that?
That is why it is important to respect other people not only in music but as well as other matters. Mastermind band not trying to compete with other music bands or to get trophy or medal, they just want to share their music and make other people to feel the other side of the world where most people don't bother about it..it's a feeling of emotions.
At the end all of musicians & artists in this world wishes to be recognized, respected, honored, acknowledged and the most important bottom line is "$contribution$" by its fans and followers to show support on their hard-work for entertainment.
One day song is the band's 2nd released. This song was created by Ady Izwanov way back in 2009. It was inspired by the true life event. Then later this song was composed into melodic punk rock style.It was recorded in September 2017 at the same recording studio in Shah Alam.
No Fear is their first single recorded in July 2017 at High Castle Studio, section 9 Shah Alam. The song was created by Comrade General Ady Izwanov in the middle of 2016. According to him that this song is about one's that had bad or sad experienced in life and feeling so down but still have hope to be happy and succeed in life with one's inner good deed. The melody of No Fear much influenced by the elements of the Goth music even though the vocal is more on punk rock style.
Below are some of the snapshot moments during the recording of No Fear.
Subsequently, the band had produced another simple "remix" of the No Fear song by featuring from The Dark World. The voices are from the Vlad Dracula, Vampires, Werewolf and the victim themselves (this could be you as well). There are few good feedback from the fans where they are pretty much like it but some are still like the original song more. Well, music is universal and it's depends on the ears of the beholder.
Here is the sound of the No Fear featuring The Dark World.
On the other note, currently the band had just completed their indoor & outdoor video shoot for Official No Fear music video and expected to be ready at the end of December 2017. Don't expect too high since the band basically in the mode of D.I.Y. Once ready, they will update it in this blog.
Mastermind band was established on 9th June 2017 from Shah Alam city, Malaysia at which consist of Ady Izwanov (Vox/rythm), Ijat (lead guitar), Lefty (drums), Kimi (bass) and Afeez (keyboard). The music genres merely on Alternatives,Punk,Oi and a little bit of Goth elements. Mastermind had recorded two (2) of their songs, No Fear and One Day and there will be more to come such as Dunia Kita Bersama,Brotherhood and Perjuangan. Initially, the band's founder has no idea there were also other international bands with the same name but different genres. The founder only realized it after several months after the band has been established. Basically, the band direction as in the underground scene is to perform gigs and to entertain its fans, followers as well as its haters through out their music. The songs were created by its founder Comrade General Ady Izwanov and composed by his own band members.This is the 3rd band setup after previous bands unable to sustain due to several reasons over the last 20 years.

As for now there is no specific image fashion for Mastermind band members. It's all depend on its individual because the main deliverable is the music. However, Ady Izwanov still maintaining his hybrid Skinhead's image. All of the band members have their own working life to make a living and music always as part of their interest.
Mastermind band have several music influenced from local and international bands such as ACAB, Subculture, Roots N Boots, Uncure, Haymaker, Discharger, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer and so on.
okay...I think that is all for the band history.
