RIWAYAT became a throbbing...when two guys bond by metal spiritual-Black Doom Sri Mayang Kala & Bro D took Popo to pound the Lead Guitar on 2005.Their birth place was way up in the north-west region of Peninsular Malaysia,a state called Perlis-a district called Beseri which translated will mean "Shining arise".An area infested with convertism and the moral majority types-but nothing cold keep these rabid guys from their inspired noises.
Since Akeyron entered the eternal fire band as vocalist and guitar,it came to nothing so they stick to this line-up:-Black Doom Sri Mayang Kala(Drums,vocals),Bro D(Bass),Popo(Lead Vocal & Guitar)and Fayzen(Rhytmn Guitar).Playing their own Black Doom song.
Together they self-recorded a first demo at Bro D’s studio jamming with the skill of computer from Black.
One of the most memorable experiences so far is 2009 : Throughout their journey, RIWAYAT has played alongside some of the biggest name in Malaysia’s Metal scene, including Sil Khannaz,Brain Dead,Hayariva,Mistik,Dreaded,BilHarzia,Samartary,Dawn Phenomenon,Vociferation Eternity and Predicated Not Defined.
