The Beauty of Slowness
Message from Jeff, June 2026

Excerpts:

Sloth is a beautiful creature with a handsome look and a gentle but tight hug. When someone proceed to save them from harm, they will acknowledge it and return with the “thank you” gesture. That has been recorded in multiple occasions. Sloth is considered as one of the more extreme examples in terms of being slow, but at the same time we can learn numerous things from them. Learn to be patient, learn to take a time, etc.

We perceive sloths as insanely slow, but in their perception, they may see humans move like a ridiculous 3x sped-up video, right?

Rather than blaming ourselves for becoming slow, we actually need to see from a different perspective, from a different point of view. The more we align and attune ourselves to the ascension pathway, the faster we will perceive time (because time is compressing as the frequency of vibration is rising). So, in our perceptual reality, we also see ourselves as becoming slower. It is a natural process, and I am now beginning to understand that what our soul wants to experience is the process, as opposed to the results. It’s more like this: whatever you do, do it with love, and when you do it with love, you will enjoy the process and regard the result satisfyingly no matter what the result is. A process-oriented person is more attractive than the result-oriented person just because the energy signature emitted from the heart is stronger and higher in its frequency. It is completely fine to take time. Chill is the new sexy!

"Acidity" marked a significant milestone for KEKAL; a transition between the extreme metal territory the band had been exploring since the mid-1990s and the avant-garde and experimental direction they were heading in at the time. It was a unique and diverse album, with a level of exploration that pushed the boundaries of musical styles.

The Painful Experience was created as a direct response to the issues Kekal had with the 1999 album Embrace The Dead. It marked as the return to the band’s roots in delivering authentic, no-nonsense music full of raw energy and attitude derived from punk music and sub-culture. Production switched from analog recording of their first 2 albums to computer-based digital home-recording (DAW), albeit a more basic and “primitive” in its set-up due to the lack of outboard gear and professional mixing board. This was also the band’s first take in the progressive/avant-garde direction by incorporating electronic elements into their musical presentation. This album was originally released by 4 independent record labels in 2001 on CD and cassette tape formats that made Kekal’s music being introduced even further to worldwide metal music fans, not only in Asia but also Europe, North America & Central/South America.

This album paved the way for Kekal's "breakthrough" album, the 2003 "1000 Thoughts Of Violence".
