Cromok Fan Club
Sejarah Cromok
Kumpulan CROMOK merupakan sebuah kumpulan rock metal Inggeris Malaysia yang ditubuhkan pada 1987. Mereka adalah terdiri dari empat orang pelajar Malaysia yang menuntut di University of Wollongong di Sydney, Australia. Ahlinya terdiri daripada Sam (Vocalist+Bassist), Din (Vocalist+Guitarist), Karl (Guitarist) dan Miji (Drummer).
Sekembalinya ke tanahair, tiga dari mereka kecuali Din yang masih belum tamat pengajian telah menandatangani perjanjian dengan Valentine Records dan telah mengedarkan album Image of Purity yang dirakamkan sewaktu mereka masih berada di luar negara. Walaupun peminat muzik tanah air masih janggal dengan lahirnya sebuah band trash metal, album tersebut mendapat sambutan menggalakan sehingga terjual lebih 70,000 unit. Lagu 'Metallurgical' yang mengabungkan intro lagu tradisional 'Ulek Mayang' menjadi lagu paling menarik dan digilai peminat ketika itu.
CROMOK kemudiannya menyertai EMI Record pada tahun 1993 bagi mengembangkan lagi sayap mereka. Album 'Forever In Time' merupakan album paling berjaya CROMOK dan terjual melebihi 100,000 unit. Album ini disifatkan lebih kepada metal kemelayuan.
CROMOK seterusnya mengeluarkan album 'Yours Truly' pada tahun 1996, Mean, Meaner, Meanest (1999), Re-release Image of Purity (2000), What's Left (2000), Deafening Silence (2002), Engrave in Eternity (kompilasi 2003), Untitled (2004), Untitled + raw (2005) dan The Great : Metal Manifest (2006).
Namun, pada tahun 2001 dengan rasminya Karl telah menarik diri dari menganggotai CROMOK atas masalah kerjaya dan keluarga. Pengganti Karl pula bukan calang-calang gitaris tetapi Hillary Ang yang mempunyai pengalaman bertahun-tahun dalam muzik. Hillary pernah menyertai kumpulan SEARCH dan menjadi pemuzik undangan bagi artis ternama yang lain. Beliau sebenarnya telah bekerjasama dengan CROMOK sejak album 'Mean, Meaner, Meanest' tahun 1999. Hujung tahun 2006, Hillary kembali menyertai Kumpulan SEARCH.
Somewhere Anywhere
Behold the truth of madness
For the earth i walked is free
I`ve paid my dues of empty
I`m nowhere to be seen
It`s a simple act of justice
There`s nothing more that i need
I know it a disease
The guilt i never plead

Lirik :
The plight of the wanderer
Has been a shattered mirror
Touch by the hand of time
Such longing that crippled my soul
The search for glory
Never dies in me
Wiseman with smilling face
Eyes shine in darkness
Please take me to
Where I belong
Listen to my phrase of wisdom
Open your eyes to the vision of life
Image of purity shows
Bow to the master one man says
To see the light
Image of purity shows
Field of life will be turn
Life has simply done to me
Blinded by pleasure
Sea of cloudy misty
Pillaging to the trail of death
Will I ever end this journey?
Lirik :
To live in this cruel world
Is to see what you don't want to see
To know what life meant
Sacrifice your need
Years of torturing ourselves
Chasing our own destiny
Taken away without sympathy
Leave us to rot in poverty
In every corner and dark street
You'll see their eyes are laughing at you
Fear won't lose its grips
There's nothing you can do
Nobody cares to stop them
Nodody cares what happens to me
No one hears my endless scream
Save me from my misery
There are so many paths to choose
So many ways to live
So many ways to end a dream
We still remain, your cruelty won't change
Our laughter and cries are still the same
You have your own story
You have a few mouths to feed
Feeding them with your own sin
Satisfy their need
If it happens to you my friend
Tell me how you'd feel
You meet someone without honesty
Someone else is laughing endlessly
Lirik :
Slow attack for Beta
Subject to kill thoughtless mind
No chance for you to defy
Endless destruction from a timeless spell
Sacrifice your body to the one in line
Failure, regret for the rest of your life
Heavy burden on your lap
Youve fallen into imminent trap
Nurgatory result is yours to face
Intestinal disorder, crystallise internally
Silence in pain, ominous of disorder
Imminent survival, your soul rots away
Sepulchural scream, dig your own grave
Bless us, youll die
Numb skull, prayers cry
Doomsday, insanity
No choice, youll fail
Brain cells, damage of order
Each dot of memory
Destroyed and left to dust
Metallurgical will do you harm
And you must learn how to sacrifice
Let the force fight till the end
